GELID introduced the Wing 12 PM 120mm PWM LED case fans, they will soon be available in retail stores for $19 (13EUR).
The WING 12 PL features a unique Nanoflux bearing which ensures a friction-free and silent
operation. Thanks to the clever design and magnetic bearing the impeller can be detached for easy
cleaning. Additionally fan blade winglets were designed to achieve larger airflow and greater static
pressure. In comparison to the multi-award winning Wing series the Wing 12 PL contains a premium
PWM control so the temperature can be controlled precisely by the BIOS. LED lights in green or blue
color were added to the WING 12 PL to give the fan a specific color.
The patented Nanoflux bearing (NFB) incorporates a clever magnetic design, very high precision
manufacturing and runs friction-free and operates noiseless. Electromagnetic fields are exploited to
keep solid parts from touching. The load is carried by a magnetic field. The Nanotechnology
composite ensures lowest abrasion and extreme durability (MTTF 100’000 hours). The nano
composite material is self lubricating Compared to conventional sleeve and ball bearings the high
precision self-lubricated material of GELID Solutions Nanoflux bearing eliminates oil leakage.
“We created the Wing 12 PL especially for gamers and modders who are looking for a silent but
colourful fan with unique features,” said VC Tran Marketing Director of GELID Solutions.
