Silverstone really do deserve a lot of credit for the creation of the Penetrator fan, it is not just an effective design, but this company are clearly trying to push the boundaries of both chassis and fan design by spending a lot of R&D cash to emerge with creative new solutions.
While we have done all the real world testing today and explained how the technology has advanced fan design, the video above is a great visual indicator of exactly how the air flow has changed when compared to a traditionally design fan ethic.
The fan is not only well constructed and designed but you have the option of two speed settings. At low settings we were rewarded with low temperatures on the heatpipes during real world testing with the added benefit of virtually no noise at all. At high setting the noise became noticeable, but within a general enthusiast gaming chassis, 34dBa would be quieter than most CPU or chassis fans. This is a choice Silverstone have handed to the customer, and is something we like to see.
In the UK, the consumer cost is just under £15 inc vat which is clearly a very competitive price, especially for such a large fan with a radical new design implementation.
KitGuru says: If you are looking for a new chassis fan and your case can handle the size, then this should be on your shortlist.
