Imagine a 8000 RPM Delta fan with metal fan blades. It would blend anything, fingers, rocks, your pets, you name it...

and you can call it 'blender fan'
it sounds nice for a fan

Jokes aside, what benefits does aluminium blades bring to the fan, other than the looks?

its light, and its good for aesthetic like modding
give it a light and it would look better

I flipped out when a crappy case fan in my compy took a huge chunk out of my thumb the other day.
Just thinking about what would have happened had I bought one of these fans instead makes me a little sick to my stomach.

Took a chunk out my nose with 6000rpm fan once :laugh:

Oh lord, last time my finger was clipped by a fan I think I was like 11 years old and being an idiot =/

"Will It Blend?? That is the question!"

Sorry...I just could not resist to say that.

It will blend your fingers as well as everyone else's

Aluminum is light? Not hardly. Lighter than depleted Uranium perhaps or Pig Iron. But certainly not light compared to reinforced ABS. Coolers already go way beyond what CPU and Mobo MFRs state as the upward limit of weight. If the mobo is horizontal on a test bench no problem...but when it's vertical all that weight is a problem. Makes no sense to me to make a fan any heavier than it has to be if it's going on an already ridiculously huge and heavy cooler.

I call bullshit on the claimed numbers. Until I see an independent test by someone like Martin or Vapor I won't believe those dba and CFM numbers. Name one 25mm thick fan that pushes a true 100CFM.

We've all seen bullshit fan numbers...they are an industry wide shit stream of marketing hype.

I've got a Megahelam tossed in a tote somewhere...what a PITA to install. I was not impressed by it at all. I don't care how many "awards" MFRs give themselves or what they claim...only independent testing will verify if this is a good product or just more ridiculous hype.

The opinion of this CyberDruid in no way reflects the opinions of TPU

Alu is for pussies, give me my carbon-fibre fan for 50€ and I'll buy 8 for all my PCs at home.
Really, those guys must be out of their mind.

You're an idiot.
