Cooler Master SickleFlow 200 ARGB PWM Fans

Cooler Master also shipped their second-generation SickleFlow 200 ARGB PWM fans, which perfectly fit into the ceiling of the HAF 700 EVO. This Gen 2 variant sports a better driver IC for a quieter operation and ships in a full-color cardboard box as well, just like the chassis itself.


Each of these ships in its own packaging. You will receive a silent adapter, mounting hardware for both radiator and case mounting, and a plastic clip to keep the ARGB cable firmly connected, which is a nice touch only Cooler Master seems to provide.


The fans with 200 mm blades have a fairly large hub with a reflective Cooler Master sticker. The semi-translucent blades provide a lighting path for the hub-mounted ARGB LEDs. Both cables are sleeved, with the ARGB connector protected by a rubber cap. Interestingly enough, a white sticker on the PWM lead has the serial number of the unit with a warranty void warning. Cooler Master should just stick that onto the frame, ideally with a black sticker and white writing to avoid that small cosmetic faux pas.


Each corner of the fan has a rubber pad as an anti-vibration measure and comes with a number of holes, so these may go into cases that do not allow for 200 mm units as long as they physically fit. There are no markings on the exterior frame, but Cooler Master placed a bit of a design on them to make them look cooler.
