The Cooler Master Turbine Master Fan has taken the excellent Twister technology from Enermax and improved upon it even further. The new 16 blade design is both radical in appearance and unique in airflow design.
As a chassis fan there is no better option on the market, because due to the blade design and individual positioning the Turbine Master is capable of producing high levels of airflow with virtually no noise at all. In our sound room we recorded nothing above the ambient environment rating of 21dBa … meaning that this fan can be classed as ‘silent', barely noticeable above human breathing.
While many people will purchase one of these for a media system build, there are other scenarios in which the Turbine Master would make an ideal companion. For instance, adopting several of these into a performance gaming or productivity system would ensure high levels of airflow with noise levels significantly below that of a standard high grade CPU cooler. It would actually be possible to build a powerful, yet almost silent enthusiast rendering station with several Turbine Master fans inside a chassis and a Thermaltake Zing cooler cooling the processor.
The Turbine Master Fan will be released in the United Kingdom for £11, and at this price it is easily deserving of our highest accolade. Very few products pass our lab tests without a weakness … this is one of them.
KitGuru says: Call us geeks, but we find fan technology as exciting as a new graphics card. We are always on the search for quieter systems without compromising on air flow. Cooler Master have just given millions of enthusiast users the chance to lower their system noise without sacrificing their cooling performance.
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
