EverCool has just launched a new product, which turns out to be exactly what we needed, since we have been looking for a classic case cooling fan with an integrated speed controller. The new case fans from EverCool have the classic 120-millimeter diameter but come with some nice extra features at an affordable price.

While searching for a cheaper alternative to Antec’s Tri Cool case fans, we were pleasantly surprised by EverCool’s new offering.

The new cooling solution from EverCool is officially called Silent Shark Fan, and the funny naming comes from some small gimmicks that the manufacturer has added to the design.

EverCool claims that the premium exquisite shark fan grills design provide superior airflow efficiency and heat distribution, but we’re more interested in the fact that the new model is very silent, with a rated noise level of just 19 decibels when rotating at 800 RPM.

The fan has a very useful speed controller that allows the user to set the rotational speed anywhere between 800 RPM and 1400 RPM – that would increase the noise to a maximum of 26 decibels.

The power connector has a standard 3-pin one and the manufacturer even included four rubber bolts to replace the standard screws and reduce the vibrations transmitted to the chassis.

The cooler uses what EverCool refers to as "ever lubricated" (EL) bearings and we’ll wait and see how that performs in real testing before attesting to its reliability.

EverCool’s SSF-12 has a black frame that’s 25 millimeters tall, which is a bit less than an inch in imperial.

There is no word on pricing, but EverCool has always made affordable decent cooling solutions.
