Akasa Launches Fan Sets with 3-packs
Akasa, a leading provider of active cooling and lighting solutions, has announced the three new fan bundles available for purchase. These fan packs are perfect for all applications, from high performance, low noise PC builds (Viper), a premium aesthetic with bright and vivid aRGB lighting (SOHO), or home theatre PC or compact, small form factor builds (Slim Fan). The Viper Fan also comes in a white colourway, which pairs seamlessly with all-white and pastel builds.
The SOHO AR has dazzling and exciting aRGB lights, which surround the rim of the fan. The stylish RGB boasts over 16 million lighting combinations, and contrasts with the sleek fan blades and premium Akasa logo to create a classy, yet bold look to the fan. The sleek fan blade's unique shape and design provides a vastly improved aerodynamic efficiency and optimises the airflow (52.91 CFM) and air pressure (1.75 mm H²O) for the fan.
The SOHO AR also contains MHD Bearing technology, which, when compared to normal HD bearings, increase the smoothness of the bearing lubricant using the power of magnetic fields. This leads to an improved smoother rotation, extremely quiet operation and greatly improved fan life. This bundle come with an aRGB splitter cable and a PWM hub cable to sync the fan speed with motherboard PWM header - all that is needed all that is needed to set up the fans.
Akasa has also released bundles of the popular Viper Black fan series, and added the Viper White colourway to the line-up. These fan bundles are perfect for low-profile workstations, with the stealthy matt black suited for this, whilst the Viper White is practically made for all-white builds. The high performance S-FLOW fan blade produces 30% higher airflow than other fans in the price range, whilst HD Bearing technology provides the bearings with constant lubrication, extending the service life of the fan and reducing noise. A PWM hub cable is also included with the bundle.
The final multipack of fans is the Slim Fan. With a thin frame, it is able to squeeze into smaller spaces for home theatre PCs and slim chassis builds, whilst maintaining the 120 mm diameter that is able to provide a much higher airflow compared to 80 mm fans. They come in a twin pack, and includes a splitter cable for essential cable management in small cases.

9 Comments on Akasa Launches Fan Sets with 3-packs
These fans have literally existed since the dawn of time and a lot of other sites have already had reviews out around the same time.
Coupled with the fact that flow is measured with no obstruction and static pressure when fully obstructed, and fan spec sheets quickly lose their value. It's the curve in between 0% and 100% restriction and how flow and noise changes across it that's interesting, and hardly anyone supplies that graph.
Fan controllers are universally awful and an additional source of wiring spaghetti. Nothing beats just plugging all fans into motherboard headers and having your BIOS fan control handle everything.
