This enclosure fan integrates the innovative bionic loop rotor design, reducing turbulence and enhancing airflow efficiency in PC systems. Engineered for optimal performance, it facilitates superior ventilation within computer casings, delivering both an effective cooling method and noise reduction, thanks to its unique construction and material composition. This fan is suitable for applications where precise cooling and noise control are critical, such as high-performance gaming rigs, workstations, and server environments. The world's first high-tech compact fans with bionischem strap rotor (BionicLoopFan ®) comes from Germany. NB-e loop fan are characterised by a new bionic strap form and are superior to conventional axial fans in almost every respect. For the first time, it was possible noise in the air stream of the fan, considerably. At the same time, the actual usable capacity is increased and the energy consumption can be reduced. The newly developed high-tech bearings and motor technology, as well as numerous features and further developments, such as dust-protected motor and bearing, anti-dust Makrolon-rotor, location invariant magnetic levitation bearing arise the most advanced fan in the world. Advantage: extremely low-noise, improved performance at the same time reduced energy consumption. Developed in Germany, with the support of the Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs.

FAQs
What is the main advantage of the bionic loop rotor design?
The bionic loop rotor design significantly reduces air turbulence and noise, leading to quieter operation and improved airflow efficiency compared to traditional fan designs.
Is this fan suitable for CPU cooling?
While it provides excellent airflow, it is primarily designed for PC case cooling. For direct CPU cooling, specialized CPU coolers with compatible fan mounting are typically required.
How long does the fan typically last?
The fan features a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 140,000 hours, indicating a very long operational lifespan under normal conditions, thanks to its high-quality bearings and construction.
Does the fan come with screws?
Yes, the fan includes 4 screws for mounting.
Can I control the fan speed manually?
Yes, the fan supports Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM), allowing for precise speed control through compatible motherboard headers or fan controllers.
What is the noise level at minimum speed?
The fan's rotational speed ranges from 300 RPM (minimum) to 1200 RPM (maximum). The noise level at minimum speed is significantly lower than the maximum 24.28 dB, contributing to very quiet operation during low-load periods.
What does 'dustproof' mean in this context?
The fan incorporates an anti-dust Makrolon rotor and a dust-protected motor and bearing system to minimize dust buildup, which helps maintain performance and extends the lifespan of the fan.
Troubleshooting
Fan does not spin
Verify the 4-pin connector is fully seated on the motherboard or fan controller. Check that the fan header is receiving power and is enabled in the BIOS/UEFI. Ensure the starting voltage requirement of 5V is met.
Fan is noisy or rattling
Confirm the fan is securely mounted and not vibrating against the case. Check for any obstructions in the fan's path. If noise persists, the fan may be defective; contact support.
Fan speed is not adjusting with PWM
Ensure the 4-pin connector is used, not a 3-pin. Check motherboard BIOS/UEFI settings to confirm PWM control is enabled for the fan header. Update motherboard chipset drivers if necessary.
Dust accumulation impacting performance
Carefully clean the fan blades and frame with a soft brush or compressed air. The anti-dust rotor technology helps, but periodic cleaning is still recommended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure your PC case has mounting points for a 140mm fan.
Connect the 4-pin PWM fan connector to the appropriate header on your motherboard or fan controller.
Use the included screws to securely mount the fan. The fan is designed for case cooling, typically as intake or exhaust.
Compatibility:
Motherboard Header: Compatible with standard 4-pin PWM fan headers.
Voltage: Operates on 12V, with a voltage range of 3.8V to 13.8V and a starting voltage of 5V.
Mounting: Fits standard 140mm fan mounts. Includes 4 screws.
Cables: Comes with the fan itself and pluggable connection cables for easier management.
Care:
Cleaning: Regularly dust the fan blades and frame to maintain optimal performance. Use a soft brush or compressed air. Avoid using liquids directly on the fan.
Bearings: The magnetic levitation bearing is sealed and requires no user maintenance.
Environment: Operate within the specified temperature range of -10°C to 60°C.
