HYTE Thicc FT12 is an $80 120mm Fan with Special Chops, Including its own Arm CPU
The HYTE Thicc FT12 is a stand-out at the company's booth at the 2023 Computex. It's probably the most feature-rich fan specs-sheet we've come across, all to justify its price of $80—that's for one fan. The 120 mm fan derives its name from its 32 mm thickness, which is a bit more than the 25 mm that's industry standard, and more than double the 15 mm slimline form-factor. The impeller has a liquid-crystal polymer coating that minimizes dust build-up over timeand improves airflow characteristics. The fan's motor has sensors that can detect airflow temperature, as well as the exact position of the impeller. The onboard electronics also has support for HYTE's Nexus Link unified interface over USB type-C (legacy adapter included). As a fan, the HYTE THICC FT12 has a speed-range between 500 to 2,000 RPM, and has zero-RPM capability. At its top speed, it pushes over 70 CFM of airflow, with over 3.3 mm H₂O static-pressure. The company didn't reveal noise figures, though. HYTE is backing the fan with a 6-year warranty.
