14 DAY TRIAL // Though it is better known for its VGA/CPU coolers and PC casings, Scythe also deals in case fans, and it seems that it has completed its latest model, a new Slip Stream that promises to enhance the airflow in any casing lucky enough to be equipped with it.
Fans have been used to disperse heat in any environment for many years, and it was no surprise when they began to be used in computers.
Verily, fans are found on the majority of VGA and central processing unit coolers, always in conjunction with a heatsink and/or heatpipes.
Fans can also be used as standalone products, however, should one simply wish to enhance the airflow on a particular piece or hardware, or inside a system or another.
Scythe deals in all of these types of cooling solutions, and its latest model is one aimed at chassis, called the Slip Stream 120mm.
This new cooling solution has a diameter of, obviously, 12 centimeters and a very high rotary sped, of between 500 RPM and 1,900 RPM to be exact.
Compared to previous iterations, the fan has a reduced center hub dimension and enlarged fan blades, for an even greater airflow.
To be more specific, the fan can push up to 110.31 CFM of air, the equivalent of 187.41 m3/h, all the while not exceeding 37 dBA of noise.
In fact, should one not require all of its cooling might at any given time, lower rotation speeds can drive said noise generation all the way down to just 7.5 dBA.
Other specifications include a sleeve bearing, a MTBF of 30,000 hours, a weight of 121 g / 4.27 oz..
Scythe expects its new creation to become part of high-end and overclocking-oriented systems, hopefully sooner rather than later. As for pricing, end-users can buy it for 7.25 Euro (excl. VAT), which is the equivalent of 12.00 USD.
