FSP has unveiled a new case fan featuring a unique design. The new FSP Zenfan is a 120mm fan that features an integrated angled digital display on its frame, allowing you to see real-time performance stats at a glance, no software required.
Looking at the new Zenfan (via Guru3D) from FSP, the first thing that stands out is the angled screen. Cleverly placed on the side of the frame, the display is visible through a PC case's glass side panel. The display shows two pieces of information: the fan's current speed in RPM and the ambient temperature. Moreover, the fan features its own temperature sensor built into the rear, providing this data completely independently from the system.
The Zenfan also sports an unusual 120mm x 140mm form factor. While it uses standard 120mm mounting holes, its extended height is designed to provide space for the display without interfering with other components. Performance-wise, it's a balanced fan using HDB (hydraulic dynamic bearing) with a PWM speed range of 800 to 1600 RPM, delivering up to 57.6 CFM of airflow at a quiet maximum of 26 dB(A).
The FSP Zenfan will be in black and white, with a choice of either non-ARGB or ARGB-illuminated versions.

KitGuru says: The Zenfan is a very clever product for builders who want quick access to system information without running monitoring software. The only issue is that to use it properly, you'll need to have the fans mounted in a visible place, such as an open bench or a case with see-through panels.
