Cooler Master Announces its JetFlo 120 mm LED Fan
Cooler Master has introduced a new 120 mm LED fan.
Cooler Master has announced a new fan, the 120 JetFlo. This fan, while appearing ordinary at first, actually has some interesting features hidden from view.
The fans have a 120 mm size design, can run at speeds from 800 RPM to 2000 RPM, are PWM controlled, can push up to 95 CFM, make up to 26 dBA of noise, and come with two silent adapters that fix the speeds at either 1600 RPM or 1200 RPM (for those who do not have PWM compatible controllers or motherboards).
The fans' notable features include the styling as well as the Smart Jam protection. Cooler Master claims that the fan is the first premium quality LED fan to enter the market, noting words such as "Performance," "Style," and "Silence" as core design elements. The Smart Jam Protection feature can detect when there are objects present that obstruct the turning of the blades and will automatically stop rotation to prevent damage. After removal of the foreign objects the fan will resume normal operations.
The fans feature an MTBF of a respectable 160,000 hours due to the self-lubricating POM bearings that are used.
Cooler Master's JetFlo 120 fans will come in four different colors: red, black, white and blue. All will sell with an MSRP of €14.95, which translates to roughly $20, and will be available starting mid-July.
'Murica!
Hopefully dust buildup doesn't trigger Smart Jam Protection.
JetFlo 120 comes in blue, red, white or no LED
So if it detects more power consumption/less RPM than what should be, it'll think there is a jam and cut power?
Won't be good if it is because of dust build up from possible neglected maintenance.
Or is it more intelligent that that?
I am willing o give these a shot, I like how the LEDs emit from the center instead from the frame. This in turn make the blades glow rather than the traditional LED mount that sucks. Hopefully they do not suffer from PWM high pitch whine noise. I would have loved it if the incorporated the LED on off functions into these fans. Would go great with a Cosmos 2 or Storm Scout 2.
Are there warnings that it stopped spinning? Or is my CPU going to go into melt mode while it waits for me to remove the jam?
They are loud when past 1500RPM but 1200RPM is the sweet spot. Just a warning, if you have any mesh infront of one of these fans when set to intake it will be noisy unless it is set to under 1000RPM. On exaust it does not create this noise, only intake.
The best of all is that there is no PWM whine, tick, or hum. Just the sound of air moving. I was going to swap out all my Cougars for these but decided to swap them for Corsair SP Performance fans.
