Scythe unveils Gentle Typhoon fans by Nidec

Scythe unveiled a new series of 92mm and 120mm Gentle Typhoon case fans that were developed by Japanese Nidec Servo Corporation. There are five 120mm fans, with noise levels between 5dBA and 28dBA, and three 92mm models, with noise levels ranging from 13dBA to 26dBA.

The fans have a double ball bearing and a MTBF of 100,000 hours.

All eight versions have a newly designed impeller which has a high performance with very low background noise. All fans are manually balanced to guarantee operation with less vibration. In comparison to comparable fans the Gentle Typhoon is characterized by a pleasant noise level. The innovative design of the fan blades were designed to avoid disturbing air which means less noise at high performance.

The motor of the fan uses a patented double vibration reduction structure which also prevents vibrations produced by the fan.

Gentle Typhoon Case fans are available for $11,95 (excl. VAT, 92 mm version, 7,90€ incl. VAT) and $16,95 (excl. VAT, 120 mm version, 9,90€ incl. VAT).

Here are the specifications. Unfortunately, Scythe uses m³/h instead of CFM values but you can get the latter ones by dividing by 1.7.
