Some form of fans is more or less a requirement in desktop computers with performance worth the name, but there is a big difference between a fan and a fan, both when it comes to performance and quality. When both parameters are turned up, the price often follows, with the well-reputed Noctua perhaps being the player that generally tops the three categories with its brown-beige products.
At Computex 2023, the fresh chassis manufacturer Hyte states that they also want to stand out in the fan market. To do so, Hyte is not satisfied with the classic combination of motor and fan blade, but takes the opportunity to provide the Thicc FT12 with a 32-bit ARM processor, magnetic fan cables and aesthetics that reduce the difference between the front and back. This is accompanied by sensors that can read the temperature and the position of the fan and be followed in software.
Contact pins on each fan enable chain connection without intermediate cables.
Magnetic fan cable is another option.
The clear back that is usually standard on fans is replaced with plastic and logo.
The Thicc 12 name reveals that it’s a thicker 120-millimeter variant, specifically 32 millimeters instead of the standard 25. Hyte specifies an airflow of at least 70 CFM, which is around 17 percent more than what Noctua states for the worst thing fan NF-A12x25. Details about sound level, however, are shrouded in obscurity. The fan can be turned off completely if needed, but otherwise spins between 500 and 2,500 revolutions per minute.
Juicy price tag
On two of the sides of the black-and-white Thicc 12 there are said magnetic contacts, which can either be connected by cable or chained directly with other fans. In conclusion, Hyte highlights that the fan fits just as well as a chassis fan as mounted on radiators. The Thicc 12 comes with Hyte’s fresh water cooler, the Thicc Q60, but can also be bought separately in September. According to Techpowerup, a package of three fans lands at a juicy 80 USD, which corresponds to close to SEK 1,100.
