More to the point which fans are included lol.

I still find it hard that they have suddenly started selling the Eclipse with fans.
Seems more likely to be an error on the website to me.

Perhaps a member of the shop staff can confirm?

Surely they'd be supplied with ambers?

I'd imagine if anything they'd be the same fans that are in the Akasa Zen. Which are similar to ambers, but slightly different... (can't remember the differences exactly)

Rang OcUK to ask this question and was told if that's what it says on the website then that's what I should get

ROFL. If it comes with fans I'll eat my Preytek Serenity. The Akasa website is ambiguous as it can be read as spaces for two 120mm fans.

They're Akasa badged YS-Tech 1225s I believe in the Zen.

WJA96 · 19 Apr 2007 at 18:47

And... The Zen description on the Akasa website specifically says they're 47cfm fans - there is nothing about fan throughputs on the Eclipse or Mirage cases.

Sorry. Maybe whoever you spoke to will shell out for a pair of Ambers for you? Lets hope so.

I'm just thinking back to the thread when the Zen first came out, and a few people reported they seems to be very similar to the Akasa Ambers, just clear and with a different motor. Not looked into it in any more detail.

Mine say "AKASA" in big blue lettering and "DC Brushless Fan" above it. "Model MH1225L125" is written immediately under that and at the bottom it says "YS-Tech - Made in China", so they are some form of YS-Tech 1225s. They are entirely made from clear/transluscent plastic and they are quite quiet, but possibly not as good as 120mm Ambers.

Im as happy as can be

mr delivery man just brought my brand new Akasa Eclipse 62.

And the answer to the big question is that....the case does indeed come with 2 x 120mm fans, which are clear in colour and akasa branded (DFS122512L)

Just cant mess around with it until I finish work

Thought I had a better pic but I don't think you can make out the actual model or smaller text on the fan.

EDIT: Just found a better one - here. Be careful you don't tear a muscle in you're neck though

WJA96 · 20 Apr 2007 at 11:52

Those ones just say made in China so maybe YS-tech don't make all of them.

Cob · 21 Apr 2007 at 16:58

The black fan that came with my thermal side panel thingy says-

Model : KM121225LS

0.18AMP

and it's made by Y.S. Tech.

Installed a kama Bay cooler to the front of my elclipse and a couple of Akasa blue fans to brighten up the front..looks quite good...beter than the boring front that was there allready. Its also helped dropped the temps by a good few degrees

Actually looks beter than it does in the photo..not quite so bright.

Nice looking Mod.

About to order Akasa eclipse was wandering what the best cooling options are ?

I am getting Asus deluxe mobo core 2 and thinking and a BFG GTX the large ones.

Any problems with the air flow and the graphics card noise is a consideration for my buy.

toxic · 1 May 2007 at 20:41

the GTX's are near silent...but you can just hear them when full loading. I found my temps werent all that great before I put in the Scythe Kama Bay...as shown in post above. Generally though...the 62's are pretty well known for there decent cooling performance.

Fob · 1 May 2007 at 22:00

Thanks, so what would be considered to be the quietest cpu cooler with the Akasa given that money is no object.

Thermalright HR-01 LGA775 with the blue fan duct. It's passive so it adds no noise to the case whatsoever.
