Alphacool has announced its new Apex Stealth fan. While most PC case fans ship with plastic shrouds, Alphacool has gone a step further with the Apex Stealth, offering a metal frame, along with a good assortment of colour options.
Unlike most fans on the market, the fan blades, motor, and suspension on the Apex Stealth are totally separated from the metal frame. A sophisticated dampening system was installed between the metal frame to stop vibrations. This form of decoupling is a new technology that Alphacool is introducing to the market for the first time with the Apex fan.
The Apex Stealth fan redefines the term “all-rounder” due to its very high airflow and static pressure, making it suitable for use as a case fan or radiator/heatsink fan. The fan speed can be adjusted through the 4-pin PWM connection between 400 and 2000 rpm, with the Power variant going up to 3000 rpm. Like other Alphacool fans, these fans can also be daisy chained, and thanks to how the frame was designed, the cable can be easily hidden in the corners. Moreover, the 6-pole motor, in conjunction with the Hydro Dynamic Bearing, offers quiet operation and long-term reliability.
The Alphacool Apex Stealth metal fan is available for pre-order in matte black, chrome, white, and gold variants at 2,000 RPM or as a Power fan at 3,000 RPM. All models cost €29.98, regardless of the colour and version.

KitGuru says: Although expensive, the metal frame could give a nice touch to a PC build that many other fans wouldn't. If it has the performance to match similar-priced fans, the Apex Stealth isn't a bad deal.
