In Win Development Inc. (InWin), a leading innovator in PC hardware, has announced the world's first PC case fans with modular, Type-C connectivity. The InWin Lynx fans are available in both 140 mm (LN140/LN140P) and 120 mm (LN120/LN120P) sizes to fit all modern PC chassis and provide excellent performance in thermals and acoustics. All Lynx variants are available in black or white frames, while the fan blades offer ARGB lighting.

Say Goodbye to Cable Clutter
Lynx blends style and function by requiring a single cable to connect multiple fans to a motherboard, simplifying the PC installation process. The modular design uses Type-C connectors that clip together, allowing the fans to connect side-by-side to eliminate excess cables. Lynx is ideal for intake, exhaust, or liquid cooling radiators. Fans installed in distant regions of a chassis can easily be daisy-chained using a Type-C extension cable. The 90-degree fan cable allows for neater cable management with the added benefit of USB-C's reversible connectors.



Silent, High Static Pressure Designs
InWin engineers crafted its 7-bladed 'Turbine Blade Design' for optimal noise performance. The 120 mm version has been designed with a larger 28 mm thickness for better performance (Over 61 CFM and 3.04 mm/H2O static pressure) while producing only 25.5 dBA at maximum speed. The signature fan is molded into the frame, creating a concentrated airflow, preventing air leakage, and eliminating excess noise. Inside the fan motor, a dedicated performance management IC chip controls the PWM signal from within a 1% margin, ensuring class-leading speed precision relative to a reference temperature.

Editors note: Products are available on InWin European eStore: €49.99 3x LYNX 120 / €54.99 3x LYNX 140

Well, there we go, a company that decided to use USB Type-C connectors for fans, just like someone requested here not that long ago.
I guess I was proven wrong, but let's see what they cost first.

How do you recon? If no-one else does the same connector design, it's still proprietary...
Also, will third party RGB controllers work with this?

As long as its standard USB-C cable that users can source for cheap and not some propietary one great news indeed.

To me it sounds more expensive, than just a 3-4 pin, umm maybe they trying to get me to buy all new fans again hahahahahaha.

What is a standard USB-C cable? And it's pretty clear from the pics, that this is anything but standard.
I mean, it's possible that the USB-If just released a USB Type-C to 4-pin fan connector and/or RGB header standard, but I didn't see any such press release in the past week.

It's not actually for connecting the fans to your USB Type-C ports, it's just for daisy chaining the fans.

€50 for the 120 mm fans it seems.

by standard I mean one available off the shelf for interconnecting fans together and to connect fans to a controllers(in this case it would be easier to connect controller to a USB port on rear of motherboard instead using entire 10pin internal header). That splitter for standard 4 pin PWM and ARGB header would be an option for those who dont have controller or want the motherboard to control their fans which is fine.

That's not a splitter in a common sense though, as it goes from USB Type-C to a 4-pin fan header as well as to an RGB header.
There doesn't appear to be any kind of controller involved.
