The EK Loop Fan FPT 120 D-RGB is a high-speed 120mm fan, featuring ARGB lighting and a fluid dynamic bearing, for lower noise output and increased lifetime. It also support daisy-chaining for reduced cable clutter and easier cable management. With a 23 dollar price this looks to be an interesting product. Read the full review to find out more!
The EK Loop Fan FPT 120 D-RGB is about 8-10 dollars away from the high-end options in the 120mm fan category, packing interesting features like a daisy-chain option, a fluid dynamic bearing, up to 2300 RPM speed, and ARGB lighting. According to EK, the effective square shape of the fan frame provides optimal performance in either pull or push regime without hydraulic losses.
EK mentions that the bearing’s durability is 60,000 hours at 25℃, which is decent for an FDB fan. The width is slightly larger than the typical at 27mm, and the cable length is only 100mm to offer better cable management if you daisy-chain several fans together. An extender cable with sufficient length (500mm) is provided. The fan receives power through a 4-pin PWM connector, and a 3-pin addressable 5V D-RGB connector is used for the LED lighting.
