I’m familiar with 120mm and 140mm fans … but 160mm? It’s the first time I’ve heard of it. It’ll be intereting to see what type of chassis will be compatible with these 160mm ARGB fans from SilverStone.
From TPU … SilverStone today introduced the Shark Force 160 ARGB case fan. As its name suggests, this is a 160 mm diameter fan, but it also offers a maximum air-flow of 160 CFM. The fan is designed such that the impeller’s diameter is 160 mm, but the frame itself can be mounted in 140 mm vents, provided there’s enough clearance around them for a larger frame than what 140 mm fans typically come with.
The Shark Force 160 ARGB features a fluid-dynamic bearing, and turns at speeds of up to 1,600 RPM, pushing up to 160 CFM of airflow, at up to 2.21 mm H₂O static-pressure, and up to 38.1 dBA noise output. It takes in a 4-pin PWM connector for its main function, and 3-pin ARGB for its lighting, which consists of ARGB LEDs studded in the hub. The fan measures 160 mm x 160 mm x 25 mm, weighing 220 g. The company didn’t reveal pricing.
