A lot of PC builders nowadays pay close attention to the case fans they put in their rigs, with the goal of improving airflow and balancing noise/performance. This week, Sharkoon is unveiling what should be its best PC fan yet, the Rebel F50 PWM. 

The Sharkoon Rebel F50 PWM fan is a 120mm case fan, with an RPM range between 600 and 2000. Thanks to PWM, you'll be able to set up your own custom fan curve either through software supplied by your motherboard vendor, via the BIOS, or via a third-party fan controller software. This way, you can slow the fans down and keep your PC quiet until your hardware really starts to heat up during more intensive tasks, like gaming.

The Rebel F50 PWM is developed to aid in cooling high-end hardware and also makes a good choice for water cooling, thanks to the airflow volume of up to 142 cubic meters per hour, with a maximum noise output of 35 decibels at the highest speeds. To further minimise noise levels, the Rebel F50 PWM has rubberised contact points to reduce vibrations, as well as a decoupled mounting mechanism to avoid fan vibrations transferring to the PC case and generating additional noise.

The Rebel F50 PWM fan is equipped with a 4-pin PWM connector and a 4-pin LED connector that has a 5V-D-coded-G pinout. The fan can be conveniently connected in series with other fans in order to occupy as few connections on the mainboard as possible. The RGB LEDs can be synced with Asus Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, Gigabyte Fusion and ASRock Polychrome. The fan is available as both a black version and a white version, priced at €12.99.

KitGuru Says: Are you shopping around for a new set of case fans to improve cooling and airflow in your system? If you are more interested in aesthetics, like RGB lighting, then Sharkoon's new fans deliver on that front too.

Phanteks has not one, but two big launches today. Not only are we seeing the release of the T30-120 cooling fans, aiming to be the best 120mm fans on the market, but Phanteks is also launching the new Glacier One 240 T30 AIO liquid cooler.

Developed in collaboration with SUNON, the new Phanteks T30-120mm fan incorporates liquid crystal polymer material to achieve “unprecedented cooling performance and acoustics”. The fan thickness has been increased to 30mm and the fan blades are now 25 percent larger, resulting in higher airflow performance and a better noise to airflow ratio. This is all done with just 0.5mm clearance between the fan blade and the inner frame, which reduces turbulence and further improves noise output.

These fans will be available separately, but they'll also be shipping with the new Glacier One 240 T30 AIO liquid cooler. Utilising a thicker 38mm radiator, this cooler aims to deliver the performance you would expect from a 360mm AIO cooler, but in a smaller 240mm package.

Other features of the cooler include flexible braided tubing, Tube Clips for routing cables, and support for most major sockets all the way up to Threadripper. D-RGB lighting is included and Intel's upcoming LGA Socket 1700 will be supported at release through Phanteks' customer service.

The Phanteks T30-120 fan will be available as a single unit, or in a triple pack, for £25.99 or £74.99 respectively. The Glacier One 240 T30 cooler will be available for £149.99 via Overclockers UK.

The Mindshunter Zephyr is a gaming mouse with a built-in cooling fan, featuring a mouse sensitivity of 16000 DPI thanks to the use of the Pixart 3389 sensor. Weighing just about 68g, the Zephyr was designed for competitive players that want to take their game to the next level.

The built-in cooling system contains a small RGB fan that can be set at one of three different intensity levels or simply switched off. The fan was designed to be “super quiet” and it's positioned at a 45 degrees angle to the hand of the user, “preventing sweaty palms” and issues that may arise while gaming. Even with the fan inside the mouse, the Zephyr is powered by a single USB cable. Besides the fan, there also more RGB LEDs surrounding the mouse casing, featuring 16.8M colours and 15 RGB presets.

The Zephyr gaming mouse “fits comfortably within your hand” thanks to its “geometric shell” and “ergonomic symmetric” design, which maintains the structural integrity of the perforated mouse casing. The perforations of the mouse's structure were made to reduce the mouse's weight, and allow the user's palm to breathe, resulting in better mouse handling. The casing also features sweat, fingerprint and grease resistant properties to further improve grip over time.

Programmable Omron switches with a 50 million click lifespan can also be found here, increasing durability and reliability. Additionally, the mouse's sensor is a Pixart 3389 capable of over 400IPS, with a mouse sensitivity ranging from 100 DPI to 16000 DPI.

You can buy the Mindshunter Zephyr gaming mouse now with a 50% discount, priced at $79. You can learn more about this mouse HERE.

KitGuru staff always use the best quality fans we can find and this week we already reviewed the excellent Silverstone 18cm Penetrator.

Today we are going to look at several fans within new cooling ranges, from Enermax. The 120mm and 140mm TB Silence fans (UCTB12 and UCTB14) and a glitzy 140mm Apollish Vegas fan (UCAPV14A14-x).

Enermax T.B. Silence 14cm Fan

These are no ordinary fans, because they have a rated lifespan of 100,000 hours which is significantly more than the 30,000 to 50,000 hours quoted by many manufacturers.

All three fans we are looking at today focus on reducing noise and the UCTB12 and UCTB14 are quoted to produce only 11dBa and 15dBa respectively. The 140mm Apollish Vegas is said to emit around 15dBa. They all also incorporate Twister Bearing Technology which we will detail later in the review.
