Jakob Aylesbury / 10 months ago

Thermaltake have been doing quite well as of recently with many of their products receiving plenty of praise from ourselves. Today the company has announced availability of its new TOUGHFAN EX12 & EX14 Pro High Static Pressure fans featuring upgraded magnetic connectors and swappable fan blades.

Thermaltake TOUGHFAN EX12/EX14

The TOUGHFAN EX12/14 Pro are the latest from Thermaltake and offer exceptional cooling performance as well as two major quality of life features. They employ the new MagForce 2.0 Quick Connect Design which uses larger pogo pin contact pads vs the 1.0 model which makes connection a lot more reliable. This design for a cableless daisy-chain connection between your fans reducing clutter. Furthermore the fan blades can be swapped out between standard and reverse fan blades which improves aesthetics as you won’t have the fan frame blocking the view of the fan, plus it makes cleaning them a lot easier.

The fan blades have been specifically engineered with nine lengthened fan blades to guarantee higher airflow and stronger static pressure during operation. They can reach speeds up to 2000 RPM and the 120mm model can offer a static pressure of 3.19 mmH2O and 70.8 CFM with noise levels under 22.6 dB-A. The larger 140mm model can provide a static pressure of 3.57 mmH2O and 119.6 CFM of airflow whilst keeping noise under 31.6 dB-A.

The fans use a square frame design to significantly reduce air leakage and to improve fitment in chassis or radiators. The fans also feature rubber pads to reduce vibrations and the fan blades themselves are made of liquid crystal polymer which minimizes vibrations at high speed.

Features

Steady Connection with MagForce 2.0
Evolved from TOUGHFAN EX Pro’s Magnetic Force Design, the new MagForce 2.0 has the Pogo pin contact pads TWO times larger for greater tolerance. This enhancement significantly reduces the potential faulty alignment no matter you are daisy-chaining fans together or connecting fans with cable, further boosting the installation efficiency and streamlining the building experience.
