Bluegears b-COOL and b-ice fans - The b-ice
(Page 2 of 4 )
First up is the b-ice. As I said before, this is a 120mm fan so it needs a decent amount of space in order to mount.
Let's take a look at the specifications:
Dimension: | 120mm x 120mm x 25 mm |
Rated Voltage: | DC 12V |
Operating Voltage: | 10.2-13.8 VDC |
Air Flow: | 63.05 CFM ±10% |
Speed: | 1800 RPM ±10% |
Noise: | 24.6dBA |
Operating Temp.: | -10°C to +70°C |
Bearing: | Sleeve |
Weight: | 137g |
According to the bluegears website, these are the fan's features:
- Four screws included.
- Four pins Power connector directly connected to power supplies.
- Choice of Blue Chrome coating or Silver Chrome coating.
- Low noise level with excellent airflow.
- Shining surface enhances better lighting effect.
This fan has a standard four pin molex connector to basically power the fan and LEDs whenever the machine is powered on. While a lot of custom fans have clear blades, the visible blades on this fan are chromed (in either blue chrome or silver), which causes a unique lighting effect. Here's a pic of the fan, with and without power.
To be honest, I was surprised at the airflow this fan was able to put out. Mounted at the right spot in your case, this fan could make a serious difference in your cooling solution. In addition, it's darned quiet.
