Anyone know what's the deal with this fan? Obviously can't link to competitors, but I can't find it anywhere.

Alpenfoehn list it on their site under fans and it's shown as optional 3rd fan on the olymp, but it doesn't seem to exist anywhere.

So anyone know if it's a mistake? coming soon? or something you have to get direct?

The middle fan on my k2 needs replacing, and while the wingboost 2 with 120mm mounting can be bought seperate, it doesn't have the rubber damping like the one that came with it. The olymp fans do though and are pretty much a direct replacement for the middle fan of the k2, so would be a straight swap.

The normal 140mm wingboost 2 does seem to have the rubber damping, but I would need to trim off the outer 140mm holes (it has both 140/120) as the fan clips won't be able to reach the 120mm mount points otherwise.

So getting hold of an olymp fan would be better, but I can't find them :(.
 
As an alternative, any first generation wingboost 120mm will work fine in the middle mount of the k2. Ive used the 1500 rpm blue bladed ones and the red clover 1200 rpm models. Theese both have rubber coated frames. Not that plastic frames are a problem asnyway as ive also used corsair sp's, af's and akasa apache/vipers on the k2.
