Quiet Fan
|
|
|
The 140mm QFan features a unique patent designed blade shape and a 360non-frame, effectively reducing the noise level. The air inlet is designed to increase air flow and reduce the sound of wind shear. Please see Figure 1, Figure 2
 Non frame 140mm QFan Figure 1
 Standard 140mm Fan Figure 2 |
|
|
The QFan special five way air-intake housing design creates the best heat dissipation environment for the non-frame 140mm QFan at minimal noise level. Therefore, the fan at low speed setting yield a 17.1 dBA without compromising performance.Please see Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 5

What is Eco-Friendly?
|
|
|
|
| Thermaltake aims to develop power supply units that make contributions to preserving the environment. In this way, all Thermaltakes power supply designers take the Eco-Friendly Design guidelines into account when developing new products. Eco-Friendly Design is an engineering perspective in which at least one of the four eco-friendly design priorities (shown below) is considered and optimized. |
|
|
Energy Saving
|
|
 |
Thermaltakes power supply designers are committed to reduce the energy consumption needed to use our products. Currently many of Thermaltake high performance power supply units have been certified by 80 PLUS Energy Efficiency Program for their excellent ability to energy saving. Thermaltake will continue to enhance the efficiency for our power supply units and also reduce the energy consumption needed to power our PSUs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Green Material
|
|
| Thermaltake is committed to reduce or substitute the use of hazardous substances. We maintain strict control over the chemical substances used, and take steps whenever possible to avoid the use of hazardous substances. Currently all Thermaltake power supply units are made from green materials and all RoHS compliant. |
|
Extremely Quiet
|
|
|
Thermaltake is committed to reduce the noise generated by our power supply units. Researches have shown that noise can be annoying and even harmful to human health. To protect human health, some of our specific PSUs come with the patented QFan technology which minimizes the noise to the lowest level.
|
|
|
Recyclable
|
|
| Thermaltake is committed to incorporate recyclable materials into all the new power supply units whenever possible. Therefore all Thermaltake products comply with WEEE which requires recycling of electronic and electrical products. |
