Packaging and Accessories

This is as retail a packaging as I have seen for a fan, and I can definitely imagine it hanging off a metal rod in a store somewhere via the plastic casing and hole at the top. The transparent casing means we see a lot of the fan inside, and there are stickers with colors galore to help add more information about the fan. If you were to chance upon this in a store, for example, the packaging does a great job of telling you what the fan is, mentioning all the salient specs and features. A single flap on the top helps keep the contents inside in place, and pulling them out reveals the fan itself.


As it turns out, there was an inlay cardboard piece at the top to contain the fan cables and accessories neatly out of sight. The fan cables are attached to the fan, and Scythe provides two accessories with the Kaze Flex 120 RGB PWM fan—a set of four self-tapping metal screws in black, if you were to use this as a case fan, and an adapter cable to help power the fan straight from the PSU. This adapter cable is unsleeved, goes from a fan header (2-pin for power alone, no PWM control) on one side to a full-size MOLEX adapter on the other, and has a pass-through MOLEX connector, so you do not lose out on an entire MOLEX connector just for a fan. This means you can daisy chain these fans off a single PSU MOLEX connector, say if you had multiples on a radiator, but ideally, you should power and control them off a PWM fan header instead.
