The next fan in our test database will be… can you guess?

In the next fan test there will be a model for which many of you have been waiting for a long time. It will be quite easy to recognize it even from the photo, which reveals only a small part of it, a detail. Everyone who writes us what fan it is will be entered into a draw for one big pack of them. And it’s really worth entering, there aren’t many more attractive options in the 120mm fan field (and we’ve exhausted all the hints with this one).

The point is to identify the fan model from the cover illustration found at the header of this article. To make it at least a little bit of a challenge, we have revealed a section, most of the area of which is also out of focus. Fan enthusiasts, however, will handle this task with ease, and the reward for one will be a triple-pack of what you have to guess.

Send answers with fan identification to info@hwcooling.net with the subject HWC riddle (2023). Participation is possible from any part of the world, we do not impose any geographical restrictions and we will send the prize anywhere. Anyone who manages to answer correctly by 13 September 2023 (23:59 CEST) will be entered into the draw. We will then announce the winner’s name on 14 September 2023 at the very end of the standard test of this “mystery” fan.

  1. Really looking forward to the review of this fan (I won’t spoil the name of course), especially on frequency analysis. Based on noise samples online it seems to have a distinct noise profile, which I find sound noiser than many other fans at the same dBA.
