I think it's been over three years since I last talked to you about cooling fans for computer cases.
The main reason is that current cases come so well-equipped when you buy them that you don't really need to purchase additional ones.
This time, an old friend happened to call and said they were sending over some new brand's toys for me to check out, so I took the opportunity to unbox and show them to you.
This brand is called Cooling Factor, started by some former ThermalRight employees.
I received two heatsinks and a 12CM fan in total.
Let me slowly show them to you one by one and give you some brief comments ~ those who are interested can take a look.
First up is the 120mm 12V PWM fan.
Cooling Factor CFW120M
The packaging style is very TR ~ I quite like this kind of simple and clear packaging.
The product size specifications can all be found on the outer packaging.
One thing to pay attention to is the height.
Unlike the standard 25mm fan, the CFW120M series fan has a thickness of 26.9 mm.
In other words ~ if your fan installation space is extremely tight,
then this fan might not be an option for you (although this probability is less than 1%).
The speed range is 500 ~ 1700 rpm.
The maximum airflow is 53.60CFM.
The maximum air pressure is 1.43mmAg.
It can be seen that this is a low-speed, high-airflow type of fan, recommended for installation on cases or low-resistance heatsinks (you might want to check the fin design for liquid cooling radiators).
All four corners have rubber pads for shock absorption to reduce noise.
9-blade design, the notches at the blade tips can slightly increase the wind speed of the outer ring.
Why is the wind speed at the periphery intended to be increased a little?
You can take a look at the镂空 (lòukōng - openwork/镂空) next to it.
This goes directly through to the air outlet surface.
The designer probably hopes to use the faster wind speed at the edges to pull the airflow through these through-holes.
So that the actual airflow can be greater than the fan test values.
The design concept is quite good, but because this fan's maximum speed is only 1700 rpm,
based on my years of intuition, I estimate it will increase by at most 1 cfm (depending on how much air resistance there is at the air outlet).
Although the increase isn't much,
it can indeed increase the wind-receiving surface area of the heatsink when installed on a low-resistance heatsink.
It can slightly increase the efficiency of the heatsink.
Although not by much, a fan with the same blade type without this design might need to increase by 100 rpm to achieve a similar result.
So let's just consider it an effective design.
The above is a brief sharing ~ durability is unknown (we'll see if I come back with an angry complaint in a year).
