Aerocool Advanced Technologies, one of world's leading manufacturers of excellent gaming PC gear, proves once again that great ideas can push the air cooling market further. After releasing the successful "Dead Silence" case fan series, which innovated the market thanks to its great performance and dual-material design, Aerocool now presents the "Air Force" case fan series. The new series features energy-efficient fan blade design and the Air Circulator attachment for guided airflow and intense cooling.

Aerocool offers both 120 and 140-millimeter models, which are available in several color-variation. Users have the choice between a classic "black edition" without LED illumination and the colorful editions with LED illumination, such as blue, white, orange and red. Fancy design is not the only aspect of the new Air Force series. High airflow at low noise level is achieved thanks to the energy-efficient fan blade design, which reduces air turbulence.





All 120 mm models are rotating at constant 1.200 RPM and create a steady airflow of 52,65 cubic feet per minute at mere 25,4 dBA. The 140-millimeter models are operating at virtually the same noise level (25,5 dBA), yet spinning at only 1.000 RPM, while moving impressive 62,26 cubic feet per minute.

The Air Force case fans are furthermore focusing on a long lifetime. Equipped anti-shock Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) allows the fans to operate smoothly for up to 100.000 hours (MTBF). Yet another unique feature is the supplied Air Circulator, which allows the airflow to be guided to intense the cooling performance.

Aerocool Air Force 120 and 140 mm case fans are available from etailers and retailers as of today. Suggested retail price for the Air Force 120 mm model is 8,00 EUR and 10,50 EUR for the 140 mm models (excl. Taxes).

No static pressure figures so it's just ad hype.
On their webpage they quote
0.91mm-H2O
Compared to 3.1mm for the Corsair SP120 Performance, Aerocool still has some work to do.
I like their products but a force fan this is not.

What these fans offer is focused airflow not high static pressure.

The Corsair fans spin up to 2000+ RPM and are loud as fuck.

These are quiet fans where airflow is directed they use the same design as Silverstone does with their air penetrator series.



Typical fan directs air like so: \___/
A fan of this design =: l__l

Instead of losing air that spreads out these direct the airflow better. This results in better spot cooling.

You are comparing a 2350 RPM to get that SP. Aercool is 1200rpm.
Even the SP120 Quiet is 1450RPM with 1.29 mm

So the specs is quiet close and comparable.
