Posted January 3, 2014 So a brand called Sharkoon just uploaded a YouTube video showing off their new fans, and they look absolutely stunning. But how do they perform?Well, on their website they state that the fan will be silent The special 3D curved design with striped air guides steers the airflow straight through the fan blades, thus preventing air turbulence - the main cause of wind noise. Even after many hours of use, the fan remains silent due to the end of the guides having special ‘shark’ teeth to reduce both drag and dust build-up. This shark can bite, so chose one of the several different brightly colored air guides to confirm that it’s running (since you won’t hear it…) in order to protect your fingers while working inside your computer. While I do know that the fans look sexy, I do not know if what they are saying will be the full picture, they also listed the specs of the fan on their website Specifications: Rated voltage: 12 V (DC) Operating voltage: 10.8V – 13.2 V (DC) Rated current: 0.1 A (max. 0.15 A) Rated power: 1.2 W Fan speed: 1000 rpm Start voltage: 7 V (DC) Max. airflow: ~56m³/h (33 CFM) Max air pressure: 2.63 mm-H2O Noise level: 19 dB (A) Bearing type: Fluid Dynamic Bearing Weight: 120 g Dimensions: 120 x 120 x 25 mm (L x W x H) Now I'm not a fan guy, so I don't know what all this means, but if you are a fan guy, you will see how good/bad these specs look, they also list a bunch of features and other stuff that you can see by checking out their website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 3, 2014 Looks like it's made to be more of radiator and intake fan from its low cfm and high static pressure.Could be a good option for themed watercooling rigs if the specs are to be trusted,although you see certain brands like coolermaster rating their fans at higher static pressure or lower dba than they actually perform at,so it seems a bit too good to be true,almost like one of those things that'll turn out to be a gimmick.

Posted January 3, 2014 I'll be excited after I see some 3rd Party reviews, but thanks for bringing this to my attention. These would fit well in some case mods I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out its not that dark since dem robots are filled with lights, i waved hi to the Russians on the space station, turns out all those stories about space finding humans instead of the other way around is true(soviet Russia joke). They threw me some Heineken beer and I've been sitting staring at the people of this forum and earth since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 4, 2014 I only own one sharkoon product, their fireglider mouse, and I love it. It has been working perfectly for the past 6+ years, the software is very simple and works well. It has come to a point where I want a new mouse, but this one just keeps on working properly. I have told myself a few years ago to get a new mouse once this one flakes out once and it has not happened once yet. I don't know how good their fans are, but damn, they look amazing.

The Fireglider is amazing, I used to own one , mine 'broke' when I tried to mod it, and I snapped off the left and right click. And then Christmas came around and my parents decided to buy the most expensive mouse they could find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
