SilverStone Intros FHS 140X, a Thick 140mm Fan with High Static-Pressure

SilverStone today introduced the FHS 140X, a powerful 140 mm fan meant to be used with radiators or heatsinks, or as high-pressure ventilation in server/workstation builds. This fan is 38 mm-thick, while standard 140 mm fans are supposed to be 25 mm in thickness. The impeller is geared for high airflow, and is turned by a high-power motor. This combination results in a stellar 10 mm H₂O static-pressure, and maximum airflow of 222.95 CFM, which it achieves at its top speed of 3,400 RPM. All this comes at a maximum noise output of 50 dBA, and a little over 13 W of power-draw (so you need to plan your fan-control setup carefully). The fan is clad completely in black, including the impeller and frame. A metal grill comes included, which you're recommended to place near the inlet. The company didn't reveal pricing.

Nice but 50db is a bit loud, though i suppose even at lower speed it will still be better than most 140mm fans and not so loud.

Base on my own experience on their 140 and 180 fans.
Silverstone's fan bearings had very obvious 'tick' sound at low speed.
They are not designed to run very quiet at low speed.

These are not meant for consumer cases but rather things like rack mount server chassis. I'm using Silverstone's RM43-320-RS chassis as a home server and it includes three of the 120mm versions of this fan in it. It's freaking loud when the hard drives start warming up but it is admittedly very good at cooling everything down even at low speeds.

It's like taking a step back in time right?!

"In my PC", guys product picture shows them mounted in a case with server motherboard installed. Noise is not an issue there. This is pretty much an industrial grade fan.

The latest Intel® suggests a need within the consumer market.
