Hello,
The new Phanteks PH-TC14PE cooler comes with 140mm PH-F140TS fans. These fans are listed as "updraft floating balance" bearings. Does anyone know what this means? Are these sleeve bearing, fluid dynamic bearing, what?
More specifically, I want to know if they can run horizontally (i.e., blowing upwards) without any adverse effects.
Cheers,
—Gabe

Hi. I recommend the Gentle Typhoon 800rpm@12v but they only come in 120mm i guess.gabedamien wrote:Hello,

Actually, if I was going to *replace* the fans, I would get a PWM fan... my mobo's CPU fan headers can only vary the PWM signal, not the voltage (unlike my chassis fan headers, which can vary either).AckeDman wrote:Hi. I recommend the Gentle Typhoon 800rpm@12v but they only come in 120mm i guess.
Unless the GTs are up to efficiently cooling a 3770K @ 4.2 GHz at load?
But it's all moot anyway; I'm not buying the PH-TC14PE at $90 if the fans it ships with aren't good for horizontal usage. If I am buying my own CPU fans, I'll just get a Prolimatech Super Mega or something similar and call it a day.

Looks like SPCR has reviewed this cooler and its included fans:

Just FYI if anyone stumbles on this thread later.
I myself went with the Venomous X since it fit my build much better.
