:. Introduction .:
Computers are evolving in a rapid rate and a lot of
things have changed in the last five years and because of this increase in
speed and the heat produced by this. Therefore, fans are very important and widely used nowadays in computers. PC modifications are also growing
rapidly and if
you invest so much money in your case with windows and lights why not go all
out and buy a clear fan with LEDS to make it match that cool case of
yours because black fans just don't cut it anymore. :. Specifications .:

:. Cooler Master
Neon LED FAN TLF-R82 .:
There is a very
high demand at this time for new and unique products that PC modders
would like. Because of the amount of user requests, Cooler Master has decided to produce something that is innovative and not just
another copy of some other clear fan with a LED in it.
When I received
the TLF-R82 and opened up the box, I noticed how perfect the transparent
plastic was and how Cooler Master decided to add four
(4) LEDs in this fan. I have been informed by Cooler Master that these
LEDs cost about twice as much when compared to red and green LEDs. I would
also like to mention that Cooler Master has done a great job on the LED
placement (Outer
rim of the frame). Not only does the whole fan light up and its
surroundings but also you can see a very cool twisted glowing effect on
the blades.
At the time of the review I did not have another LED
fan but as I can remember the last time I had a look at a regular LED Fan,
I can notice that these LEDs are actually a higher quality and
brighter. The color is also richer and this all
means that the fan will cost a bit more because of this quality. For example, the
TTC-A24 and
TTC-F18 are not your ordinary rounded cables that you have
grown to know. I personally believe these fans are the same, yes its just a
fan with LEDs in it but Cooler Master has put that extra effort to
make it not only look nicer but also the actual quality is higher
compared to your ordinary LED Fan.
Lastly, I would like to mention what
kind of bearing type Cooler Master is using on this LED fan. Cooler Master
has not officially announced the actual theory or the technology yet, but I
did get some information from Tony Lam from Cooler Master.
"Rifle
bearing is kind of sleeve bearing however it has some special mechanism
that will increase Life Expectance of the fan (still slightly less than
ball bearing). It’s also quieter than sleeve and ball bearing fans." -Tony
