Hi Guys

At long last, I am delighted to announce immediate availability of the fan that I have been working on with Silvetstone.

This fan is not designed to be the 'ultimate performance' solution for watercooling. We are placing this product as an affordable option that provides close to Gentle Typhoon performance and provides exceptional bang for buck.

When building a liquid cooling system, you may be fitting multiple fans to your radiators. This starts getting very expensive when you have a pair of 480 radiators or more.

I designed this fan to run from a fan controller as watercooling should be manually controlled using either analogue fan control units or Smart controllers.

There are a load of little design features I asked for as well to complete the package, flat cables, black connectors, removal of stickers from the front of the fan etc.

I am arranging the fan to be tested alongside other watercooling fans so you can get a proper sense of what it is capable of.

Given the price and original target I set out to achieve, I firmly believe this is the best budget fan for watercooling enthusiasts right now.

I even did a triple pack so you can save money when buying in bulk!

Watercooling enthusiasts have typically been left with slim choices when picking a suitable fan for their projects. Specialist cooling fans developed for Liquid Cooling tend to have a significant price tag associated with them and make adding multiple fans to large projects being

The FQ121WC fan from SilverStone sets a brilliant baseline for Liquid Cooling performance featuring high quality components and impressive specifications at a great price point. We have worked with Silverstone to produce a more focussed product that is entirely aimed at Watercooling, Performance and Hardware Enthusiasts that doesn't break the bank.

Not only is the FQ121WC perfect for bespoke liquid cooled system projects, but it makes a worthy upgrade for AIO Liquid Cooler users.

A number of small but significant changes were made to the product to refine it and make it a real prospect for people looking for exceptional performance at a wallet friendly price.

The FQ121WC is completely black with minimal stickers and branding to ensure that hardware modders have a great base for painting and customisation. The fan blades can be easily removed from the fan motor and the blades are made from the same high quality PBT plastic that the FQ121 fan it derives from. This ensures a solid and premium product feel as well as being hardwearing and durable.

The PWM feature from the original fan has been removed in favour of a 3 pin connector. This change was made to be compatible with fan control units and smart controllers such as the Aqua Computer Aquaero. This fan is designed to be used with fan controllers to give you the best performance and speed/noise output.

The Cable of the FQ121WC is flat to ensure that cable management is easy and that cables can be layered on top of each other in tight spaces when the fans are placed next to eachother on watercooling radiators.
The cable and connector are both black to ensure a stealth and uniform appearance.

the EK will probably be a bit better as they have been developed exclusively for WC use rather than being modified for WC use

the EK fan is more expensive though so it depends what you want
 
maybe

thing is that we have loads of stock of the OcUK fan and limited stock of the EK as they are brand new.
 
if you like.

I could do with a cash injection into the 'rjkoneill outrageously expensive car parts fund'
 
Probably the EK, but waiting for results on that.

the EK are more money than these though.

they were never designed to compete, they just offer neat GT performance for not much cash
 
Marketing are doing the pics for me. They are slammed sorting 8pack stuff at the moment so I was lucky to get the default pic

Should hopefully have the rest tomorrow and will update the thread.
 
RJK how do these compair to corsair sp fans?

In my own testing, pretty similar really. They are about the same noise output in real world testing.

I would go as far to say the corsairs are maybe a touch better at getting air through high fpi rads but in terms of temps, there wasn't much in it.
