It doesnt. There is virtually no perforce difference that is observable due to its really really really really small heat resistance.

How would you know?:wtf:


Buy it and lap the nickel plating off and see if there is a difference.:laugh:

The Achilles would be the stock fan. The Black ryan fans that DanishDevil is doing a bulk order of would do great with this product! :D

Then it would have no "Achilles heel". ;)

Get it right, a name like this means its extremely potent in every aspect with few flaws. Lets see TRUE could be a normal person, vs this. The normal person is easily killable, Achilles only at one point (which is pretty damn hard).
