The ultimate in airflow to noise ratio, iXtrema Pro Quiet Fans are the only fans in the industry to be designed with silence and optimal airflow in mind. Smaller, domed motor hub, larger, more dramatic fan blade sweep area, no other fans on the market come even close in performance!

The new Fluid Dynamic Bearings offer better fan life, don't burn up lubricant, and run quieter. One symptom of the note is that the bearing fluid becomes less viscous during disuse, so the fan may run slowly before it is properly warmed up. Regular usage will avoid this problem.

Foward Sweeping Fan Blades
The forward sweeping fan blade design increases static pressure compared to other silent fans and offers better airflow in areas where ventilation is restricted.





Reduced Motor Size
The reduced motor size and conical shape allows for the largest blade surface area of any fan and improves aerodynamics compared to the cylindrical dead-spot of other silent fans.





Rubber Fan Mounts
The silicone-composite fan mounts dampen motor vibration and prevents resonance or so-called "case rattle" caused when fan vibrations reaches the chassis.





Power Connector Converter
The included power connector converter cable lets the user choose to use either standard 4-pin power supply connectors or the 3-pin RPM monitoring capable fan connectors.

it was almost inaudible at one foot, but so badly out of balance that it squeeked in its mounting. Perhaps mine is defective.

For it''s quietness, it moves a stunning amount of air. The fluid dynamic bearing gives peace and quiet, and piece of mind. I bench tested it against a similar Thermaltake, Coolermaster, Antec, Tek Chain, and Scythe. It''s quieter, or as quiet (nearly) and it sent papers flying!

Purchased 3 of these & installed them on side panel (intake) on my CoolerMasterStacker 830 S2 Case. They are silent @ advertised 18dBA but despite no obstructions on intake or the output the air flow (CFM) is at best 2/3''s or 60 CFM? (Certainly not their advertised 90 CFM''s.) Given the super high price SilenX should have at least included Fan LED''s for these. They are much quieter then my other 5-120MM AeroCool Xtreme Turbine(w/ Blue LED''s) 89.39CFM @32.46 dB(A) case fans but do not even come close to matching AeroCool XtremeTurbine''s 89.39CFM''s nor their awesome appearance period! Over all, I''m dissappointed with these 120MM x 38MM SilenX 18dBA(True!)90CFM(NO WAY!) Case fans given their higher retail price verses their actual performance and very plain (non-LED)appearance.

Provided you use the included rubber mounts, and provided you have the proper static air flow and have an unobstructed area for these to both intake and exhaust air, you shouldn''t notice these on until you crank up to the max setting. Remember to check these fit for your application! I forgot to measure the screws for my radiator, and unfortunately was forced to modify this fan to attach to my radiator properly... humbug. I have 4 of these in my case, and 2 120x120x25 MM silenx fans coming for my EXOS-2 this week. I was forced to order them from ggeweN because FrozenCPU was sold out of the 72CFM version for about a week. I will be posting a rating of each of these fans using a DB meter borrowed from my father this week to prove/disprove the 18 dbA claim! Stay tuned.

Tested in a controlled environment....cfm rating is "ambitious" at best, actually delivers approx. 60% of rated cfm. Sound rating is about half of what it really has....which is low 30 dBa. But, if you go to SilenX''s website, you''ll see how they arrive at their sound ratings, at least in part. Instead of one reading, they take one reading on-axis and two readings off-axis, all at one meter, and average the three readings. Of course, they never mention what voltage the fan is running at when taking their sound readings....my guess is around 5-7V. It certainly isn''t at 12V...any reputable testing site that has tested these fans can attest to how loud they truly are...Silent PC Review comes to mind. Air flow is much lower than rated. Xtremesystems.org conducted an exhaustive fan test and these barely managed to put out 60% of their "rated" cfm....into air, never mind through a radiator. In the end, overpriced fans with inflated ratings. And their small motors, that SilenX trumpets as helping quiet the fan, are simply too small and tend to overheat. Save your money and buy a good fan, like a Scythe S-Flex or a Zalman F3.
