EK has announced that the white version of the EK-Quantum Impulse 120 D-RGB fan is now available to pre-order for 28.90€ ahead of its release later this month. Described by EK as an aesthetic- rather than performance-focused offering, this version of the fan, aimed at radiator and case usage, appears to be identical to the black version aside from its white frame and rubber dampeners. Its RGB effects include six LEDs on the motor hub.
EK-Quantum Impulse 120 D-RGB Key Features
- Three Premium LED-Lit Zones
- Unlike other EK fans, which have LEDs exclusively in the rotor, Impulse fans have additional LEDs on both sides of the frame.
- MagLev and VAPO Bearing
- The VAPO bearing adds a magnetic effect (magnetic levitation) to the bearing to reduce noise and increase shaft stability.
- Square Frame for Airflow Focusing
- The practical square shape of the fan frame provides optimal performance in either the pull or push regime without hydraulic losses, which ensures the optimal cooling capacity of your liquid cooling radiators.
- Standard D-RGB Connectors
- The Impulse fan’s D-RGB lighting does not require any additional fancy or expensive controller for you to enjoy vibrant light effects. A simple 3-pin 5V addressable D-RGB connection for standard controllers or any popular D-RGB (ARGB) sync technology from major motherboard manufacturers is all you need.
- EK-OmniLink System
- The ability to daisy chain fan power, D-RGB, and even pump power across a single cable gives you the ultimate flexibility while reducing cable clutter. All the cables are flat ribbon style with no additional sleeving for an even better cable routing experience.
The EK-Quantum Impulse 120 fan incorporates thick white rubber corners on both sides, effectively minimizing the transfer of vibrations to the rest of your PC. With a fan thickness of 26mm, the rubber corners extend by 1.5mm on each side, resulting in a total depth of 29mm. It’s important to note that these rubber corners compress when screws are tightened. Unlike fans with circular or incomplete frames, the square frame design of this fan significantly reduces the risk of side air leakage. The combination of these features ensures enhanced stability and an overall quieter operation.
