Slim Specs Table

Hydraulic Bearing for Silent Durability

The hydraulic bearing design ensures smooth, quiet rotation and a mean time to failure (MTTF) of 30,000 hours. This translates to long-term reliability with minimal noise, ideal for users who want consistent cooling without distracting fan hum during extended sessions.

Daisy-Chain ARGB Lighting & PWM Control

Each fan features addressable RGB LEDs in blue, green, and red, controllable via a 3-pin ARGB connector. The daisy-chain design reduces cable clutter while allowing synchronised lighting effects across all three fans. PWM control adjusts rotational speed between 800 and 1800 RPM for optimal airflow and noise balance.

Enhanced Vibration Isolation

Eight enlarged anti-vibration pads are integrated into each fan frame to reduce operational noise and prevent case resonance. This design feature is especially useful in high-RPM scenarios, keeping your system acoustically stable even under load.

Streamlined Installation with Interlocking System

The intuitive interlocking system lets you mount multiple fans using fewer screws, speeding up installation and improving airflow alignment. The reverse fan blade design also ensures smoother air intake, contributing to a cleaner internal look and more efficient cooling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can these fans be controlled via software?

A: Yes, if your motherboard supports ARGB software control via a 3-pin connector.

Q: Are the fans pre-configured for RGB sync?

A: They are ready for daisy-chain ARGB sync but require a compatible motherboard header.

Q: What is the noise level at maximum speed?

A: Not specified; hydraulic bearings typically keep noise low, but check reviews for real-world data.

Q: Do I need extra cables for installation?

A: No, the daisy-chain design reduces the need for extra cables; only standard fan and ARGB headers are required.
