SilverStone's New Fan Series' Offer High-End And Budget Options
By , - Source: Silverstone

Today, Silverstone is not announcing a new fan, nor is it announcing a new series of fans; no, today the company announced two new series of fans – the FQ and the FW series. Of the two, one is aimed at providing high-quality fans, while the other is for a more budget-conscious audience.

The FQ series fans come with a white frame and light blue fan blades. Silverstone equipped them with its own P.C.F. bearings, which give the fans an MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) of 150,000 hours. They come with PWM support, carry rubber anti-vibration pads, and all ship with a speed-reducing adapter.
