With the many central processing units, graphics cards, motherboards, hard drives and memory modules that have been sprouting up across the world or are going to be released, those wishing to create a stable but powerful configuration will soon have to start browsing for cases, fans, heatsinks and power supplies if they hope for their components to run for more than a few minutes, if at all, before failing. Those wishing to personalize their systems or set up an efficient cooling mechanism within their chassis and who want to handpick their own coolers now have a wider selection thanks to Englide's latest releases in the n.zero series.

The products are hydrodynamic fans and are dubbed the n.zero hydro 80, the n.zero hydro 120 and the n.zero hydro 120 1.2K, respectively. They are capable of high-quality cooling with a low noise output and come in two sizes, namely of 80 x 80 x 25 mm and of 120 x 120 x 25 mm. The n.zero hydro 80 can spin at 1500 RPM at 17dBa and weighs merely 77 grams, while its two siblings both weigh 122 grams and reach rotary speeds of 980 RPM for the n.zero hydro 120 and of 1200 RPM for the n.zero hydro 120 1.2K.

All three chassis fans are powered via a 40-cm-long, 3-pin cable and may receive the required electricity from the motherboard, the rheobus, or directly from the power supply. Their hydrodynamic bearing ensures an extended lifespan, making them well suited for both mini-ATX and Full-ATX form-factor casings and excellent as part of highly expandable systems, which will probably keep the same casing for a long time after the initial installment.

Englide's n.zero hydro 80 and 120 chassis fans are sold with a three-year warranty and boast prices of $10 and $12.7, respectively. They all feature special cabling, with wires thinner than the regular sleeved cables for a better airflow and an easier manageability.
