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.

As most mention, the pictured is the 25mm version, this is the 38mm fan, and I''ve used this fan for over a year running 24/7. So far its been a solid fan. Also for those who doubt the spec''s it definitely pushes out a lot more air then my 56cfm Arctic Cooling fans I have powering the rear of my case.

Compared to a 120vac fan with 110cfm at 46dba the SilenX fans are extremely quiet but about half the cfm.

Used or using (all 120mm fans) enermax enlobal fan, noctua nf-p 12, thermal take tt-1225, vantec stealth, lian li case bundle fan and few other nameless fans (and of course this silent X ). None of the above fan had audible motor noise but this one. One of the enlobal bearing had epic fail after couple weeks and started to make grinding noise, but at least while it worked, it did not give off motor noise. Silent X, despite of its name, is anything but silent. Without any speed control the motor produces substantial noise, and with the speed control (matched to other fans rpm and/or aprox cfm) it still produces relatively high motor noise compare to other 120mm fans. It does pushes air quite a lot, but not surprising amount compare to Vantec high speed fan which with no motor noise. Blade noise and air friction noise is impressively low but it might have been the motor noise that masked it though. Construction feels significantly cheaper than noctua, but slightly better than enermax enlobal (which doesn’t mean a lot). If it wasn’t for the advertisement of theirs, I would say this is a good fan, but it does not live up to their claim and there are better choices like noctuas. If I were you, I would skip this one. (Oh and skip enlobal series. Worst than free fan.)

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!
