The Turbine Master fan arrives in a colourful, clear plastic packet with the product on full view.
Inside the package there are four rubber screws, four metal screws, 4 rubber pads and a molex to three pin adaptor. The back of the packaging has a diagram of the product and how to install it.
The fan itself is a very striking design – 16 blades give the impression of an internal turbine engine, which is exactly one of the goals that Cooler Master were trying to achieve.
The fan measures 120 x 120 x 25 mm or 120 x 120 x 39mm with the hub cover attached. Life expectancy is rated to 100,000 hours and it weighs 123.7 grams. It takes 0.96W (2.4W maximum) with a current of 0.08A (0.2A max).
The connector is 3 pin, although to ensure maximum compatibility Cooler Master have included a molex converter.
Installing the fan is straightforward. Above shows the fan fitted with the extended rubber screws into the side panel of an Xigmatek chassis. It takes literally 30 seconds and is as painless as it looks. The blades are removable for easy cleaning.
Stunning piece of engineering.
Great looking fan, looks like a plane engine !
I will be ordering a few of these when they are out.
Great design around the core motor. Price is excellent too. On my to buy list
Love the appearance, awesome engineering. Looks very exposed at the rear though…
Surprised how good the price is, most average fans are a fiver with old technology in them
They stole my blade idea ! I have been thinking about this design for years, they have nailed the perfect fan design imo
