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.

An addition to ARCTIC's extensive range of fans: The P14 Max complements the existing high-performance series with a high-performance 140 mm model. The P14 Max impresses above all with its extremely wide speed range, which extends from a minimum of 400 to a maximum of 2800 rpm. It's equipped with a Fluid Dynamic Bearing, allowing for near-silent operation at low speeds, while at the same time guaranteeing brutal performance when it's needed.

As ARCTIC's most powerful 140 mm fan, it provides a significant leap in performance over existing air- and water-cooling solutions. Like the P-Max models already introduced, the high-speed fan is also characterized by proven features such as the closed ring fan wheel for low-vibration rotation and a focused airflow at high static pressure.

Due to the great demand for the HEATKILLER RAD radiators in 140 mm format, the German manufacturer WATERCOOL has decided to now also produce the popular heat-exchangers in sizes 280 mm and 420 mm with a thickness of 30 mm (Slim).
