Gelid Solutions Wing 14 UV Blue 140mm Fan Review

The fan is a very attractive looking piece, especially if you have a blue theme going on. The shape and spacing of the impellers mean it is clear this is a fan for airflow not static pressure. Therefore you should use this as a case fan not for a heatsink or radiator – the 3 pin connector supports this idea.

The party piece of the Wing 14 fan is its ability to remove the impeller. To remove the impeller you should push on it firmly from the rear of the fan and then it should just pop off.

With the impeller removed we can get a closer look at the mechanics of the Wing 14 UV Blue fan. The presence of lots of copper in the motor makes me feel like this is a high quality product – but don’t hold me to that logic.

The impeller has 11 blades all attached to a metal/plastic centre point. The construction is really quite sturdy so don’t worry too much about how hard you push on it when removing the impeller, just make sure you apply pressure to the centre not the blades.
