Venturi High Flow Series Fans
The Venturi High Flow Series fans, HF-12 and HF-14, are optimized for low-restriction airow environments,
making them an excellent choice for computer case fans, or other low-restriction usage scenarios.
Designed with a variety of performance-increasing and noise-reducing features, these fans can move an amazing amount of air compared to other fans at the same, minimal noise level.
High precision airflow. High level performance.
Key Features
Featuring true FDB-bearings, providing silent operation coupled with a long lifespan
Equipped with a counter-balancing magnet in the hub that reduces the axial tension on the bearing, further protect­ing the longevity of the bearing
Dense, sturdy construction, made from high-grade glass ber reinforced thermoplastic polymer with fan geometry
that is optimized for a good balance between static pressure and maximum airow, resulting in good performance in
all usage scenarios
Aerodynamically shaped thin stator struts (including wire strut), mimicking the design commonly found on airplane wings, delivering correct angles allowing for air to easily pass through reducing noise and unwanted turbulence.
Stator struts are angled perpendicular to the blades, helping to reduce noise commonly emitted when the blades pass the struts. In effect, minimal noise that may be emitted will be constant and therefore almost inaudible to the ear.
Strategically placed notches near the fan hub on the trailing edge of the blades, further reducing and diffusing hum­ming noise produced when the blades pass the stator struts
Includes a “trip wire” on the rear side of the blades, near the leading edge. The trip wire technology, also commonly found in airplane wing designs, introduces a micro-turbulent layer that helps to combat the elements that negatively
affect performance. The presence of the trip wire overall provides a more efcient and quiet fan environment.
Delivers high precision due to high grade materials used, permitting the distance between the blades and frame to be as small as 1.2mm, contributing to a higher performance fan
Featuring a powerful motor to maintain a reliable speed
Comes with a low-speed adapter, for reducing the speed without the use of a fan controller
Includes vibration-dampening corners, from solid high-quality synthetic rub­ber on the fans
140mm fans come with an additional set of vibration-dampening corners are included that lends compatibility with 120mm fan mounts (105mm screw spacing). This enables the use of 140mm fans on many CPU coolers.
Screws pass through the rubber only, not through plastic, therefore eliminat­ing the chance of noise derived from rattling when in use
Available in 120mm and 140mm fan sizes

Venturi High Pressure Series Fans
The Venturi High Pressure Series PWM fans, HP-12 and HP-14, are optimized for high-restriction airow sce­narios, making them an excellent choice for usage on large heatsinks, on radiators, or in other highly restric­tive scenarios.
Designed with a variety of performance-increasing and noise-reducing features, these fans can move an amazing amount of air through restricted environments compared to other fans at the same, minimal noise level.
The HP-14 comes with two sets of solid vibration-dampening rubber corners: one for standard 140mm fan hole spacing (125mm) and one compatible with the standard 120mm hole spacing (105mm). The Venturi High Pressure Series PWM fans are ideal for those looking for a perfect balance between high performance and low noise built from sturdy, high quality materials.
High precision airflow. High level performance.
Key Features
Featuring true FDB-bearings, providing silent operation coupled with a long lifespan
Equipped with a counter-pull magnet, that reduces the axial tension on the bearing
Optimized fan geometry as a high pressure fan, delivering high performance results in high restriction usage sce­narios, such as in use with large heatsinks or water cooling radiators.
Dense, sturdy construction, made from high-grade glass ber reinforced thermoplastic polymer
Featuring PWM control with a very wide speed range, starting at only 400RPM (400 +/- 100 RPM), ideal for CPU heatsinks or radiators, where the motherboard can control the fan speed based on the CPU temperature.
Aerodynamically shaped thin stator struts (including wire strut), mimicking the design commonly found on airplane wings, delivering correct angles allowing for air to easily pass through reducing noise and unwanted turbulence.
Stator struts are angled perpendicular to the blades, helping to reduce noise commonly emitted when the blades pass the struts. In effect, minimal noise that may be emitted will be constant and therefore almost inaudible to the ear.

Delivers high precision due to high grade materials used, permitting the distance between the blades and frame to be as small as 1.2mm, contributing to a higher performance fan
Featuring a powerful motor to maintain a reliable speed
Comes with a 1->2 PWM signal splitter wire, for connecting additional fans to a single PWM header on your motherboard or PWM fan controller
Including vibration-dampening corners, from solid high-quality synthetic rub­ber on the fans
140mm fans come with an additional set of vibration-dampening corners are included that lends compatibility with 120mm fan mounts (105mm screw spacing). This enables the use of 140mm fans on many CPU coolers.
