Decoupled from the frame

The fan blades, the motor and its mounting are completely decoupled from the metal frame. Between that frame and the fan sits a special damping system, integrated to keep the two apart and, Alphacool says, absorbing all vibrations. Alphacool calls this type of decoupling a completely new, patent-pending technology, a system introduced by the company for the first time with the Apex fan. The impeller, a special rotor, features a closed frame of its own. Furthermore, Alphacool says this prevents impeller tip flutter at high speeds, further enhancing the fan's performance. The maker's word for the result is whisper-quiet, and it says the fan also remains exceptionally quiet at any speed.

Speed and control

The fan can be controlled between 380 and 2600 RPM via the 4-pin PWM connector. The starting speed is approximately 380 RPM. Below that, the fan features a zero-RPM control, allowing it to be brought to a complete standstill.

On a radiator or in the case

Alphacool calls the fan a true, powerful all-rounder and one of the most powerful fans available. In terms of airflow and static pressure, it says, this fan sets new standards. Therefore, in Alphacool's words, it's not only perfect for mounting on radiators but also ensures excellent airflow as a case fan.

Apex Design

The frame is curved and robust, and the combination of that frame and the aRGB lighting gives the fan its look. Alphacool says it creates impressive, brilliant lighting effects and a distinctive design that integrates perfectly into any PC build. The Apex product line from Alphacool represents, as the maker puts it, the pinnacle of perfection. It says first-class materials and innovative technologies guarantee a unique premium product. High-quality, elegant and timeless design combined with technical innovation: these are the hallmarks Alphacool names, and it says this fan is sure to impress.

Additional Features

Multiple fans can be easily daisy-chained, as is typical for Alphacool. The cables can be hidden in the corners of the fan, making them invisible. A 50 cm long PWM extension cable is included, and so is an aRGB extension cable of the same length. Alphacool says the 6-pole motor, in combination with the sleeve bearing, ensures extremely smooth operation and high durability.
