It's 30mm tall, IIRC ? If so, the press release writer messed up by omitting to mention this detail.

Pricey, but finally they're here. It'll be interesting to see how these fare against latest Noctuas

Now it is a new product. Too often annoucement after annoucement we will see the T30 also in 140mm.

No datasheet and no public available informations: www.phanteks.store/products/phanteks-t30-140-fan
Arctic, Noctua have datasheets for their fans whcih also includes physical dimension and generic guaranteed paramaters.

Share a review which needs to be "moderated" and made viewable by Phantec.

115€ fans I expect much more when i look up the first time a product. Even Be-Quiet does a better job in this regard

I'll stick with the Antec Storm T3 which is also 30mm thick and available in a 140mm version (and daisy chains).

OOf, that's some pricey fans. Drop the price by about $5-10 Hopefully this is just launch pricing or they'll rarely go on sale occasionally.

It is, but lots more competitors released or reintroduced 140x30mm models to the market in the meantime. Maybe not enough of a standout feature for the big 3-5 bullet points in marketing anymore.
Although, sporting a standard blade tip to frame gap of ~2 mm doesn't speak much for their “Ultra-rigid glass fiber reinforced LCP construction” either.

Curious how 3rd party reviews will judge them, at that price the better deliver.

Curious to see test results with them, though it kind of irritates me that Phanteks charges so much for them without providing the PIN-to-PIN interlocking connections or whatever you want to call it, as even the AsiaHorse Unifan clones have it these days, as do my Nollie GC120 v2's and there's no way I'd want to go back to having cablemanage 13 individual fans again.

I don't see the use of the 3-speed selection

Slow means one might as well use a cheaper fan, fast is too noisy.

yeah but 30mm is still better than 25mm when it comes to static pressure.

Why not run them slower for less noise/better airflow than regular 25mm thick fans?

The smaller ones are some of the absolute best on the market and they know it.

Hopefully these will match up...

Probably because the Sunon motors these are based on ramp up to high RPMs so why not expose it?

One can get three Antec Storm T3-140 fans for the price of one Phanteks T30-140

Idly, for about the same price, one could buy some used but still serviceable 140x140x38mm Sunon fans (or from other rivals; SanAce or Nidec) with some real power. Granted, one doesn't have to jump through hoops to make or utilize a custom PWM controller with the T140-30s vs any Server fan. But even at their lowest speeds, those server grade fans still push out a ton of air at relatively quiet speeds.

I've always believed that the T30s are D30s without the RGB. I'm curious to see how they stack up against the D30s
