The new Summair Plus is not only easy to use, but also steplessly adjustable from 600 to 3300 rpm. The speed of the fan can be easily adjusted individually via a rotary control.

Noctua is preparing a major design update for its NF-A series fans. The company is preparing its next-generation fans with the new Sterrox liquid-crystal polymer material. LCP provides superior structural stability for the blades at high RPM, allowing them to maintain their correct profile, and maximizing their airflow and noise characteristics; in comparison to impellers made from conventional thermoplastics such as LDPE, PBT, PVC, ABS, etc. LCPs also feature very high strength-to-weight ratio, which is what makes another popular kind of LCP, Kevlar, the material of choice for anti-ballistic armors.

For case fans, the impeller has such structural strength to hold its shape, that Noctua has reduced clearance between the impeller and the bore of the frame to under 1 mm, which helps guide all of the fan's airflow axially. Other design innovations to the impeller include channels that accelerate airflow toward the edges of the fan blades, and a stepped inlet structure toward the impeller hub that creates a pressure-differential, and guides the air better toward the impeller blades. The fan hub is metal reinforced, and the motor uses an SSO2 fan bearing. The frame of the fan, has integrated anti-vibration pads. Noctua plans to launch the next-gen 140 mm A-series case fan in Q1-2024.

Gamdias introduced its first ever AIO CPU cooler at this year's Computex along with a surprising range of air coolers and interesting case fans.

AeroCool is presenting their newly introduced Performance Nexus (APNX) products at this year's Computex - including a case, power supply, CPU air cooler and case fans. They have decided to offer this hardware lineup in a wide variety of colors - let us start with the APNX-C1 ATX tower case which can be customized further with all sorts of alternative tone top plates. There are standard black and white options for traditionalists, as well as more adventurous variants in the form of green, pink and red color schemes. The internal layout can accommodate a maximum of 10 case fans - three APNX 120 mm units are pre-installed at the front. AeroCool indicates that the APNX-C1 case will be coming out later this year with an MSRP of $149/€139.

The APNX F1 are F2 are PWM case fans with ARGB lighting systems, offered up in two sizes: 120 mm and 140 mm. AeroCool has increased fan thickness to 30 mm on these Performance Nexus units, which they reckon contributes to greater cooling efficiency (by 50%) over standard 25 mm examples. The chunky casing features sizable anti-vibration rubber pads that ensure that the APNX F1 and F2 operate at super quiet levels. There were many color options on display at the company's booth - so system builders will be have plenty of tonal customizations to experiment with. The F1 has a bi-chromatic plastic design, while the F2 has a textured metal frame - the latter will be supplied with a swappable reverse air flow fan blade. AeroCool is still in the process of finalizing these F-models, so availability and pricing will be announced at a later time.

Lian Li also presented a new portfolio of liquid cooling all-in-one (AIO) solutions and new fans. Called the GALAHAD II TRINITY series, it includes three models: the GALAHAD II TRINITY, GALAHAD II TRINITY SL INF, and GALAHAD II TRINITY PERFORMANCE. The TRINITY series features three interchangeable caps for pump block personalization and 45-degree rotating fittings at the radiator for convenient tube positioning. The GALAHAD II TRINITY model is available in 240 and 360 sizes and comes equipped with pre-installed RGB fans with flawless cable connectivity. The GALAHAD II TRINITY SL-INF model, also available in 240 and 360 sizes, comes with pre-fitted UNI FAN SL INFINITY fans and a controller.

There has been no shortage of various SSD coolers to date, but none seems to have implemented a blower fan as yet. Well, Akasa decided that it was a product that was needed in the market and was showing off its Gecko Turbo Cooler at Computex. The heatsink part of the cooler is dwarfed by the blower fan that sits on top of it, making for a rather amusing looking device. As to the noise level, we can only guess, as it wasn't plugged in, but blower fans don't tend to be the quietest fans around. That said, it's likely to bring the best airflow of any M.2 SSD cooler to date, even though it might be a tad excessive, even for PCIe 5.0 SSDs.

The HYTE Thicc FT12 is a stand-out at the company's booth at the 2023 Computex. It's probably the most feature-rich fan specs-sheet we've come across, all to justify its price of $80 for a 3-pack SKU. The 120 mm fan derives its name from its 32 mm thickness, which is a bit more than the 25 mm that's industry standard, and more than double the 15 mm slimline form-factor. The impeller has a liquid-crystal polymer coating that minimizes dust build-up over timeand improves airflow characteristics. The fan's motor has sensors that can detect airflow temperature, as well as the exact position of the impeller. The onboard electronics also has support for HYTE's Nexus Link unified interface over USB type-C (legacy adapter included). As a fan, the HYTE THICC FT12 has a speed-range between 500 to 2,000 RPM, and has zero-RPM capability. At its top speed, it pushes over 70 CFM of airflow, with over 3.3 mm H₂O static-pressure. The company didn't reveal noise figures, though. HYTE is backing the fan with a 6-year warranty.

Noctua today presented its new NA-FH1 fan hub. The NA-FH1 is a high-quality, smartly-protected 8 channel PWM fan hub that allows up to eight PWM fans to be run and controlled simultaneously via a single PWM motherboard fan header or stand-alone controllers such as the optional NA-FC1. Supporting both 12 V and 5 V fans with 4-pin PWM and 3-pin connectors, the NA-FH1 is highly flexible and suitable both for PC environments and other 12 V- or 5 V-based applications.

"While there is no shortage of fan hubs on the market, we found most of them lacking both from a functional and from a safety perspective," explains Roland Mossig (Noctua CEO). "PWM control and RPM readout can be unreliable, and most units lack overcurrent or short-circuit protection, which can be dangerous when powering through S-ATA. This is where the NA-FH1 steps in: a safe, dependable quality device for powering and controlling up to eight fans!"

This is the Genesis Oxal 120, a brand new fan which is a part of our most efficient PC case, the Genesis Irid 505F. This case is in the absolute top of the best ventilated PC cases, per professional reviews and tests. The Genesis Oxal 120 fan has been designed for cases with standard, and also thick, filters, whose main aim is to limit the amount of dust that gets inside. This is why it should provide much better efficiency when compared to standard solutions. This is thanks not only to its maximum speed of 1300 RPM or a high durability bearing (up to 50,000 h), but also its high static pressure which provides sufficient air flow even in the most restrictive conditions.

What's more, the Genesis Oxal 120 is a low revolution fan. It reaches the efficiency of a standard fan, attainable at 1400 RPM, while running at a much lower speed. Achieving balance between efficiency and silence should be quite easy - all you need to do is set the maximum speed of the Oxal 120 at 80% of its maximum velocity. Maximum RPM (100%) are great for challenging conditions with the best components at its maximum work.

LIAN LI Industrial Co. Ltd., a leading manufacturer of chassis and PC accessories, raises the bar for high-performance RGB products with the UNI FAN AL V2 and STRIMER PLUS V2 12VHPWR.
