GELID Launches Green UV WING Case Fans for Gamers and Modders
GELID, a fan manufacturer that I knew nothing about till yesterday, has launched the WING series - their first series of premium case fans in green color. A quick look at the specs of these fans immediately reveals that they are pretty good actually. Available in 8, 9 and 12cm sizes for gamers and modders, the WING series spin on an unique Nanoflux bearing motor which is not only water and dustproof, but also allows the impeller to be removed for cleaning. The fan blades are also designed to achieve larger airflow, greater static pressure and are UV reactive. A voltage regulator is also supplied with every fan, allowing the user to adjust the fan speed between 5-12 Volts as desired. All fans are backed by a 5 year warranty (MTTF 100'000 hours) and cost $12.50 for the WING 8 model, $13.50 for the WING 9 model and $16.40 for the WING 12 fan.
