Low price also applies when it comes to the Stratus 140 White ARGB fans. Considering the presence of vivid ARGB lighting, there aren’t many cheaper models in the 140 mm category. Its excellent aerodynamic characteristics are held back by one thing only, and that’s higher vibration levels, and it doesn’t appear to be a “one‑off sample issue”—as usual, our detailed testing is based on multiple units. Still, the trade-off seems to be worth it.
Explanatory note: To assess how accurately manufacturers report their specifications, we compute a “truth coefficient.” This is the ratio between our measured data and the manufacturer-stated values. A coefficient of ‘1.00’ indicates that the declared parameters match our test results, affirming accurate and honest specification reporting. The further the value deviates from 1.00, the more the declared specs diverge from reality. A coefficient greater than 1.00 means real-world performance exceeds advertised figures, while values below 1.00 (e.g., 0.80) indicate underperformance—by 20% in this example. If the value is missing from the graph, it’s due to the manufacturer not providing the corresponding airflow or static pressure specification.
