I've just made a quick comparison ...

[Fixed the pic as someone here (

) used GT pic that I used after]

That fan on the left is just another GT, not the EK Vardar

expected Dec-Jan for the 120mm size versions at ~$18 each!

hmmmmm

vsg, would also like to see this fan vs corsair sp120 performance edition if possible

Vsg, could you please test these against the swifttech helix please. Thank you

vsg28 · 11 Jan 2015 at 01:20

Sorry lads, just saw the last few comments. I had loaned all 8 of my SP120 PWM HPE fans to a friend who is not done with them just yet. So I will get them tested when I get the fans back. No SP120 QEs here though.

As far as the Helix 120 goes, I finally managed to get one out of the H220-X cooler so I will check it out real soon. Got a few Silverstone fans as well as the entire EK Vardar lineup here along with a couple of Noctua, BeQuiet and Parvum fans. I'll be busy for a while lol.

BRIGGBOY81 · 11 Jan 2015 at 01:35

thats great vsg28, thanks.

I guess performance wise they will probably be really good but I'm used to EK bringing out some nice looking stuff. This kind of seems backwards. Fine I guess if you don't have windows.

los · 11 Jan 2015 at 23:03

Glad you have parvum fans.I was thinking of them, these ek's or the sp 120s

tipes · 11 Jan 2015 at 23:05

Would like to wait for the Silverstone fans in black to come in - any news on these yet?

They made this for server guys, with an OEM intent in mind primarily. Depending on consumer interest, different colored fan blades may happen.

The Parvum F1 is a rebranded Alpenfoehn Wingboost I believe. You guys in the UK and Europe have easy access to them, but not so the rest of the world. Hence the Parvum F1.

that's awesome mate cheers for that.
I'm also torn between these, the parvum ones and the silverstone ocuk ones (whenever they're out.

how easily customisable would you say these are? how hard would it be to take them apart to spray paint them?

I haven't tried yet seeing how I only have 1 retail sample of each type, but there's a clip that you can reach in the space between the motor hub and the blade center, and then unhook using a pick or a similar instrument which should then allow the blades to be pushed outwards away from the motor hub.

That's great thanks a lot
