All the accessories bundled with the fan

Aerocool fully utilized the rubber pad to make 2 in 1 silencer block and anti-vibration pad to reduce vibration and reduce noise creation from the airflow


The blade is combination of plastic (black surface) and rubber surface (red lines). Aerocool aimed to reduce turbulence and noise from this technology by making the rubber contacting plane surface.

Conclusion

Since the fan arrived at our testlab, we truly impress with the quality. The performance is really stunning with high airflow but less noise produce. The fan comes with a good amount of useful accessories too. Aerocool produced another great case fan with a lot of effort to release this fully feature’s fan. Anti-vibration pad and noise dampening truly makes a good combination with the rubber surface fan blade to further reduce the noise produced during cutting the air .And of course, the inclusion of LED’s is always a bonus. The dual layers blade design and colour combo also adds up a unique aspect to these fans and allows them to really easily blend into user build. With the price tag of RM49, we doubt user can find a better or equal performance fan for less money.

Finally I would like to thanks Aerocool for the samples and hope to see more from them in the future.

Bro if i would like to purchase the fan as mentioned above, which designated shop would you recommend ?

There's a few shop selling this DS fan at lowyat plaza.. But if you wanted to buy online i can get it for you too

Bro, please specify which shop in lowyat that are selling those fans.

check pm

There seems to be some inconsistent information about this fan.
I bought the 12cm Fan.
On specification, it only show 1200rpm @ 54.8CFM . It's supplying 12v as well.
But on your specification and a couple of sites, it shows that this fan is able to perform up to 1500rpm.
But wierd thing is, they only show at 1500rpm, it could generate only 81.5cfm.
Nothing about it able to generate 93.4CFM.
Why did the specification differs from the original packaging product spec so much.

Be cautious of this fan.

Let me remind you guys.
This Fan you guys are looking at is an outdated model which the local supplier/distributor brought in.
They did a copy and paste job specification from the official site without looking at the product they imported in.
Check the picture.
Here's the outdated model specification, dont believe, check the picture TS uploaded for reference. It could only run at 1200RPM.

I've bought this fan from a local seller on Lelong. For some reasons, i'm not revealing the information who is it.
The fan was indeed quiet. However when i check my bios, it's only staggering between 1100-1200RPM at full speed.
As compared to a loud CM calibur fan i had, 81.5CFM should be able to be on par with my calibur fans knocking off more then 10degrees off my cpu.
Mind you, it's an old x58 rampage 3 extreme. Which is the high temp series range mobo.
My cpu was heating against 58-60degrees when i put on this fan in room temp.
When i switched back to cm excalibur, it put my cpu back to 41-42degrees.
Mind you, this is not on gaming but just normal activities like leaving the desktop to seat around doing nothing at room temperature.

Thanks for the report bro
Atm im outstation until 15 Nov
When i came back i will retest the fan and reveal the result

goldfries had actually revealed the specs on his blog on this fan clearly.
I've checked further about this fan.
It's not old or new spec.
Seems that Aerocool made two types of the same fan which is pretty ridiculous.

Only the US version carries the higher cfm spec while the other version that was distributed to other region other then US had a ridiculous low cfm spec.
So American has a better deal then us.
What sole distributors imported were mainly from taobao i suspect. They did not read enough details about the fan while putting this fans up for sale. They slap in the US version spec.

One of the seller lelong seller even told me the fan could run only at 800rpm if it's non US version and US version runs at 1100RPM.

I was at a lost for words. Apparently, he did not even know what he's talking.

This is the result i obtained from setting Full Speed which record of 1207RPM

Yup. as stated clearly on the manuals.

1200 + or - "only"
