The SilverStone Air Slimmer 140 is only 15.5 mm thick making it an ideal choice for scenarios where available space is limited. The SilverStone Air Slimmer 140 is available in both ARGB and non-ARGB models and uses a scimitar fan blade design combined with SilverStone’s Shark Force fan blade pattern to both guide air and reduce noise. Using an all-copper fluid-dynamic bearing motor it is capable of up to 1700 RPM and can produce airflow up to 82 CFM with a static pressure of 2mmH₂O while reaching a noise level of ~ 33 dBA.
The SilverStone Air Slimmer 140 can support slower fan speeds, all the way down to 0 RPM thus providing further options for silent cooling, as long as the motherboard supports it. Both versions are currently available on Amazon.
Features (per SilverStone):
- 15.5mm thick slim fan, ideal fan for space-limited builds
- Distinctive “Shark Force” fan blade design with high air pressure enables quick heat dissipation through radiators or heatsinks
- Wide 0~1,700 RPM speed range via PWM control
- Modular cable design simplifies connection and management of cables
- Engineered to also be an effective exhaust fan for transporting large volume of heat out of most systems
- All-copper Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) offers superior performance with long lifespan.
Per SilverStone:
“The Air Slimmer 140 features 9 scimitar fan blades designed to enhance air pressure and achieve a high airflow rate. Each fan blade incorporates SilverStone’s Shark Force fan blade pattern, which resembles a shark-skin surface. This pattern acts as air guides, contributing to the overall smoothing of airflow and significantly reducing audible noise.”

Can’t all fans do this?

I think some, depending on the motherboard do odd things, sputter or start/stop intermittently, depending on the motherboard support. I remember reading something similar either in the MSI app I use or maybe it was in the instructions with some of the newer Noctua fans I've used in my rigs.

I was being somewhat facetious. That would be very low RPM. Lots of motors have issues with starting torque vs running torque when trying to go very very slow. So, yeah, I do realize that is what the article was intending to convey.
Pretty sure every fan ever made will hit 0 RPM no problem though.
