FYI, the main thing I got with my brief time with the fans is dampened lower frequencies of the sound profiles from the fans. This is where most people listen well enough so the perceived sound is less. Not sure about the absolute sound level in SPL. The motor is certainly very efficient.

What? $30 for a metal frame is suprisingly cheap considering other high end fans that use plastic cost about the same.

I am not saying it's expensive for a metal frame fan, i am saying it is expensive because it had nothing vs plastic frame.

The measurements for the fan were taken in advance by IgorsLab according to their usual test procedures. Unfortunately, there is an error on one graph. That should be CFM and not m³/h.

The exact speeds for the fans are not yet final. However, they will all start at around 400rpm.

@Dammeron
The reservoir has a holder for D5 pumps. But this is only a first prototype.

If those numbers are accurate, it's the best fan in the world.
VPP755 is also best D5 style pump if we go by numbers on Alphacools specs sheet. :)

I've gone through the youtube comments of the LTT video covering the Apex Stealth metal fans and the Alphacool account states they've been working on these fans for 3 years.

They also state that the fans could be released in October and November of this year.

Edit: for providing the comment URL's. Previously they were changed to general links to the video.

Edit 2: Further comments on white versions being available at launch and USA resellers. i.e Titan Rig, JFG, Performance-PC
