Description of 🌬️ Scythe Kaze Flex 120mm Slim Fan: Ultra-Quiet PWM Fan for Case and CPU Cooling (Single Pack)

Stands only 15mm thickness(17mm with Anit-Vibration Rubber), the thin frame design is ideal for Small Form Factor computer and application fan((HTPC, Mini-ITX PC), low profile CPU cooler and water cooling radiator. Sealed Precision Fluid Dynamic Bearing: the bearing and the spindle are made of high quality compressed metal and are lubricated by a special oil film resistant to temperatures of up to 250C° / 480F°. This drastically reduces friction, ensuring smooth operation and reduced wear, which results in long life span and silent operation. Optimized performance to noise ratio, premium quality with Anti-Vibration rubber on the corners reducing possible vibration during operation. Newly designed blade and frame contribute high airflow with low noise. PWM control offers wide range fan speed for excellent balance of performance and quietness. Dimension: 120x120x15mm(17mm with Anit-Vibration Rubber), Fan Speed: 300±200 - 1800 rpm±10%. Noise rate: 2.7 - 30dBA, Air Flow: 8.28 - 50.79 CFM. Static Pressure : 0.23 - 1.35 mm H 2 O. Connector: 4-Pin, Voltage: 12V

Kaze is almost on par with the Noctua NF-A12x15 PWM in terms of performance and cheaper than

Kaze Flex 120 SLIM is definitely comparable to NF-A12x15 PWM. No other fan in this thin/thin 15mm class can boast that. This fan is said to be a bit louder than the NF-A12x15 PWM, but it doesn't stand out at all (actually, it doesn't). In terms of CFM, the fan moves almost the same amount of air (50 CFM versus 55 for NF). However, the static pressure is said to be *slightly* lower than the NF (1.35mm H20 vs the NF's assumed 1.53mm H20), which presented an issue as I was considering it for a…

Pros
  • . New fins and frames ensure high airflow with low noise. PWM control offers a wide range of fan speeds for an excellent balance of performance and quietness.
Cons
  • Some errors

Really good product, ironically no mounting screws were provided to me.

I recently built my sff gaming monster in nr200p (glass side panel) and as recommended by many youtubers for this occasion, I bought a thin vacuum cleaner. Even though I had almost 3 GPU slots (tuf rtx 3080) this fan fits perfectly under my GPU with little space in between. After this fan my gpu temp dropped about 4-5c and cpu temp 8-9c when running cyberpunk 2077 with rtx enabled to max. I'm using a rear exhaust tower cooler in my nr200p. In general, the product is very satisfied. Cons: 1. The

Pros
  • Sealed Precision Fluid Dynamic Bearing: The bearing and spindle are made of high quality pressed metal and lubricated with a special film of oil that can withstand temperatures up to 250°C. This significantly reduces friction, providing smooth operation and reduced wear, resulting in long life and quiet operation.
Cons
  • Discontinued model

Excellent thin with good airflow but rather annoying with higher boom

This fan has excellent airflow despite being so thin. I was very happy with the width. Designed to be used as an exhaust fan to provide a clear view of the motherboard. However, the fan has a characteristic high pitched sound. I'm kind of sensitive to the sound and hum of the expelled air, and my office doesn't have a lot of background noise. I liked it at first and threw the box away so as not to return it. I'm just using it for a more closed and noise deadening project that might pop up. I…

Pros
  • Optimized performance to noise ratio, excellent quality with anti-vibration rubber on the corners to reduce possible vibrations during operation.
Cons
  • Hardware Sad
