Results: Static pressure, efficiency by orientation
Apart from the all-white design, which is rare in itself, this fan also stands out from the competition in other ways. Some of these need a cautionary finger raised, others deserve praise. Often for trying to differentiate themselves and even in a rather elegant, useful way. In the mix of everything about the SquA RGB fan, one can state its unique identity, for which it may win you over. But it also doesn’t have to.
Results: Static pressure, efficiency by orientation
Explanatory note: Depending on the impeller orientation, different static pressures may be achieved. Within these graphs we observe the ratio between the “pull” and “push” positions, this gives us a sort of coefficient. If its value is above 1.00, it means that the fan exerts a higher static pressure when pulling. If the value is below 1.00, the opposite is true. Sometimes, however, this ratio is overall balanced.
