Scythe Grand Flex 120 mm Fans Spotted in China
Scythe's new Grand Flex fans have been spotted on Hermitage Akihabara.
Some of Scythe's new fans, the Grand Flex series, have been spotted on a Chinese website. This series of fans is detailed to start off with five 120 mm fans, all of which have a new, interesting blade design. It appears that the idea of this blade design is to provide better airflow while producing less noise.
The fans will come in numerous versions. They are all 120 mm fans that are 25 mm thick. Four of the fans are normal voltage regulated fans with three-pin fan connectors, and one of them is a PWM version with a four-pin fan connector. The voltage-regulated models have speeds of 800 RPM, 1200 RPM, 1600 RPM, and 2000 RPM.
Model | RPM | dBA | CFM | SP |
---|---|---|---|---|
SM1225GF12SL | 800 | 18 | 30.5 | 0.53 mm |
SM1225GF12L | 1200 | 23.5 | 45.8 | 1.15 mm |
SM1225GF12M | 1600 | 28.5 | 61.1 | 2.0 mm |
SM1225GF12H | 2000 | 34.5 | 76.6 | 3.2 mm |
SM1225GF12SH-P | 600 - 2400 | 13.5 - 39.5 | 24.2 - 98.6 | 0.28 - 4.55 mm |
There was no word on what the fans would cost, but they are expected to ship starting July 3, 2013.
