The SF140 is anything but a standard 140 mm fan. At first glance, the viewer notices that the usual external frame is missing. Instead, there are four bars with which the fan is screwed on. The innovative fan design is used, nine large and nine small fan blades center the airflow and thus ensure extremely efficient cooling.
The features of the Zalman SF140 fan at a glance:
- Innovative 140 millimeter fan with RGB lighting
- Hydrodynamic plain bearing for high performance, quiet operation and long durability
- Frameless design minimizes noise and vibrations
- Optimized dual-blade rotor blades optimize contact pressure and airflow
- Speed range from 800 to 1500 rpm, delivery volume of max. 103.6 m³ / h
- 4-pin PWM and 3-pin RGB connection, including low-noise adapter
Zalman SF140: Innovative design for high efficiency and quiet operation
The fan blades arranged in a double row are called dual-blade impellers and ensure that the air flow is centered and thus the volume flow including air flow increases significantly. In addition, the noise level is also reduced. The Zalman SF140 also lacks the outer ring. Instead, there are only four webs that start from the hub. Thanks to this, vibrations are reduced and the noise level is reduced again. At these struts, the fan is decoupled and decoupled with the help of silicone pins or attached to the housing with screws.
The fan blades are connected to the motor with a hydrodynamic bearing. With a fine oil film, this ensures additional smoothness, even at high revs, reduces friction and thus additional heat. This increases the service life of the fan, which Zalman specifies with at least 100,000 operating hours.
Even with the design of the SF140, Zalman does not stop and, in addition to the changed shape, has also integrated a digitally addressable RGB lighting, which thanks to the now standard 3-pin connector (5VDG) can be connected to suitably equipped mainboards. LEDs are located in the hub and also on the webs and thus ensure an incomparable lighting effect. Zalman has done everything right in terms of technology and appearance with the SF140 and offers a top-class 140 mm fan.
