Antec Launches the Storm 120 Efficient Case Fan

Antec Inc., a leading provider of high-performance computer components and accessories for the gaming, PC upgrade and Do-It-Yourself market, presents a new highly efficient case fan called Storm. The case features a spiral structure for better airflow, fluid dynamic bearings for smooth and quiet operation and a PWM daisy chain option to add more cooling when needed. Storm is now commercially available from 14,80€ (suggested retail price including VAT).

The PWM fan measures 120 mm x 120 mm x 25 mm and operates at a speed of 600 - 2000 RPM. Fluid Dynamic Bearings ensure a low fan noise and an incredible cooling performance, all at a long lifespan of 80.000 hours. Storm delivers a maximum airflow of 66,56 CFM and reaches a maximum air pressure of 2,7 mm H₂O.
The new Storm fan is made of a sturdy plastic frame and also features anti-vibration pads to keep the noise down even when the system is running high. Coupled with PWM control, the fan speed can be kept at a minimum when under light loads, essentially allowing for quiet yet powerful functionality. The overall effect allows the Antec Storm fans to maintain a cool airflow over the heat-sensitive components in your PC. Storm's cables are covered in woven wire for extra longevity and premium aesthetics.

The Storm Fan come in packets of one, two, three or five fans and comes with a 3-Year-Warranty.

If it looka like a fan, sounds like a fan, runs like a fan, it probably IS a fan :roll:

And they made a point of mentioning the cables, but did not provide any pics/renders of them, seeins how they're supposed to be so "aesthetically premium"

Hopefully these are built better than their cases/psu's etc, but not holding my breath on it....:fear:

66CFm @2000 rpm is average. 2.7mm H2O is only slightly above average. No mention of fan noise levels only a "low"...

But the real question is: efficient compared to what?

Antec are fine for cheap fans; 5 for €20 etc.

For €15 a fan there is heavy competition from BeQuiet's Pure Wings 2 PWM and Noctua's NF-P12 Redux, both at €12. Whilst those are both strong competitors, if you need several fans it's hard to overlook the Arctic P12 PST which consistently gets near the top of the noise-normalised airflow charts whenever they're tested. The price? 5 fans for €25.

It's just a fan I know, but would be nice to see Antec competitive again.

I think that's what I'll be putting in my Corsair D5000 to populate some of the over 9000 fans spots you can mount into it. It would probably cost more than case itself to populate it with a bunch of higher quality fans it's crazy. I'll take my chances and if one fan starts to rattle no worries rest assured the other 9 will soon after. :rolleyes:

Check out the RPM's on this fan thoughcareful of fingers...

NEVER TRUST MANUFACTURERS SPECS (insert clap emojis)

Who’s doing noise normalized reviews these days? I know of some German sites but the more the merrier!

GN has a fan testing machine they are still supposedly trying to learn to use.

Thanks for posting. I for one will check them out, with the hopes that they are a good successor to Mike C’s SCPR of yore.
