I do have to chuckle at some of those statements.
The WING case fans are premium quality, UV reactive, ultra- quiet, dust and water proof cooling fans for gaming enthusiasts.
... water proof? Just where/how do they think we'd use these things. Anyone have their cases immersed in water? If we did, I'd doubt we'd need fans...
. Dear lord, what nonsense...
Only the highest quality materials have been used to manufacture this state-of-the-art cooling fan.
... and this is why it's vomit-neon green?
Nanoflux Bearing (NFB)
Patented Nanoflux bearing incorporates a clever magnetic design, very high precision manufacturing and runs friction-free and operates noiseless. Electromagnetic fields are exploited to keep solid parts from touching. The load is carried by a magnetic field.
This sounds actually interesting. How much of that is marketing BS though is the question. Maybe I'm cynical, but I'd suspect most of it is...
- Ultra-soft silicone polymer will not break or tear during installation
... what kind of installation does it take to break/tear a fan? Sledgehammer mechanics? Seriously...
- Universal-Design fits most open chassis fan sizes (80mm,92mm,120mm) and PC cases
... the usual sizes to be expected.
- Quick & Easy Tool Less Installation
... like every other fan out there.
Looking at the chillyreviews article - good find - my first concern is the packaging. It's like Thermaltake vs Thermalright. Normally the more "frilly" packaging is not exactly what we're after.
Not that I'd mind being pleasantly surprised (their patent does strike me as interesting) ... we'd need to see if does work.
The air-flow figure is to be taken with a pinch of salt, since we can't verify it (yet), and the 25 dBA should be taken with some care as well. We all know how "certain" manufacturers like to come up with creative measurements.
5 year warranty is very nice though, got to say that. Don't think I've seen that long warranty on a fan before... maybe some more faith in their new patent?
Being able to remove the fan to remove the dust-build up is very neat, no question there. Only annoyance is (as is expected) that you need to open the case up for that, but 'til we get self-cleaning fans somehow, this is a pretty decent idea so far. Well - in theory at any rate
.
It certainly seems that the fan pushes through quite a bit of air ... but that's going to be at 1500 revs I would barter. And most of us are interested in less than that ... does the fan's performance hold up linearly when its undervolted?
Important questions for us SPCR'ers.
... I'm somewhat hesitant about chillyreviews "compatibility" shall we say with SPCR on account of them giving a "pro"-point for the vomit-neon green colour choice.
That said, I can live with a vomit-neon green if it *IS* quiet, and gives a good performance in pushing through its CFPM.
... so ... how do we get one to SPCR to be reviewed? Since they're claiming to be quiet, shouldn't be too hard to get one in as a sample, I'd hope?
Certainly their patent is a very interesting idea...
