I started reading this and saw 6 pages and almost shit myself. How could they write 6 pages about a fan??!

Well clearly you could as I read the whole lot and thought it was one of the best fan articles ive read in recent years. I think Silverstone are onto a winner, bit concerned with the high speed noise though, I think their last fan design was around 28dBa under high speed settings, so clearly this new design can be slightly louder.

Ordered one to play aruond with it. I have a bit of a fan fetish, which is sad I know.

£15 isn’t too bad, bit more than a normal fan, but I bet the R&D for this cost a lot.

Just ordered three of these for my Raven 02. Cheap upgrade I reckon and I dont have much cash lately, so its something to play with

Its always good to see a company such as silverstone trying to do something new with technology rather than akasa, who churn out £3 products for decades.

very solid design, was interested to see how ordinary fans work, and the smoke video on the last page was a good representation of how the flow is generated upwards. very smart. Cant wait to see the review of the Raven03 here.

Impressive design and I also found the overview of the technology very interesting to read. A lot of great work has gone into this product.

How can you not like Silverstone as a company. the Raven 02 design and now these fans. So much high quality products reviewed on this site, its as if you filter though all the crap no one wants to see, thanks!

They are really only charging 3-4 more than a traditional fan of the same size, thats pretty good marketing from Silverstone.

I found the technical elements of that review very interesting indeed, didnt know half of the airflow systems with ordinary fans
