EK Introduces New EK-Quantum Impulse 120mm D-RGB Fans

Today EK WaterBlocks has revealed their brand new EK-Quantum Impulse 120 D-RGB Magnetic levitation fans. These premium Impulse fans feature EK’s most abundant RGB implementation to date, with two LED-lit zones in the frame carrying 12 LEDs each, with another inside the rotor.

EK-Quantum Impulse 120mm D-RGB

The EK-Quantum Impulse are 120mm case fans which are optimised for rich and lush D-RGB effects whilst also maintaining silent operation across their entire range. The fans feature an LED-lit zone across the frame which is seen from either side of the fan making it shine in any orientation. The rotor is also illuminated by a D-RGB strip for stylish aesthetics while spinning.

Quiet Operation

The Quantum Impulse make use of a Maglev VAPO bearing which is designed to eliminate wobbling. This bearing ensures that the fan remains stable in all applications as well as ensures a much quieter operation when compared to traditional ball-bearing fans. These VAPO bearings are dust resistant and have an operating range of 400-1800 RPM.

Also reducing vibrations are the thick rubber pads on the corners of both sides of the fans. These rubber pads reduce vibration transfer to the rest of the pc ensuring a significantly quieter operation. The fan itself is 26mm thick and the rubber corners at 1.5mm on both sides bring it to a total depth of 29mm.

Daisy Chaining With EK-Omnilink

Making use of EK-Omnilink allows for these fans to be daisy-chained together which helps reduce the cable clutter in your system. Utilising a 9-pin Micro-Fit connector all the signal and power for the PWM and D-RGB runs through one single cable which is then transferred to a standard 4-pin PWM for the fan power and a 3-pin 5V for the D-RGB.

Full Features

  • Three Premium LED-Lit Zones
    Unlike other EK fans, which have LEDs exclusively in the rotor, Impulse fans have additional LEDs on both sides of the frame.
  • MagLev and VAPO Bearing
    The VAPO bearing adds a magnetic effect (magnetic levitation) to the bearing to reduce noise and increase shaft stability.
  • Square Frame for Airflow Focusing
    The practical square shape of the fan frame provides optimal performance in either the pull or push regime without hydraulic losses, which ensures the optimal cooling capacity of your liquid cooling radiators.
  • Standard D-RGB Connectors
    The EK-Quantum Impulse 120 fan’s D-RGB lighting does not require any fancy or expensive additional controller for you to enjoy vibrant light effects. A simple 3-pin 5V addressable D-RGB connection for standard controllers or any popular D-RGB (ARGB) sync technology from major motherboard manufacturers is all you need.
  • OmniLink
    The ability to daisy chain fan power, D-RGB, and even pump power across a single cable gives you the ultimate flexibility while reducing cable clutter. All the cables are flat ribbon style with no additional sleeving for an even better cable routing experience.

Price and Availability

The EK-Quantum Impulse 120 D-RGB fans are available in black at the EK Webshop for an MSRP of €25.90
