LEPA announces its new series of fans, including the LEPA CASINO 4C Advance; LEPA BOL.QUIET PWM; LEPA BOL.QUIET Tri-Speed and the LEPA VORTEX 88C. The four series feature the patented BOL (Barometric Oil-less) bearing, a self-lubricating design with nano-particles. BOL bearing features for minimal friction operation and is quieter than traditional 2 ball-bearing designs; the special nano-particles are especially applied for using in a high working ambient, with MTBF > 160,000 hours.

Means even quieter fans in general as other companies will eventually catch on. Personally not a fan of Lepa(pun intended)

LEPA fans are OK, they aren't fantastic but up there in the top 25%. However they may have some of the very best LED fans, for anyone who still cares/ wants LED fans.

 

However, LEPA power supplies are pretty boss usually, and they put their own fans in them.

180mm is a great diameter, if I have to mod a new fan slot into a case, 180mm is what I go for. Though I do it for the Silverstone AP180.

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.
