Akasa have chosen to use a 7-blade impeller to move air around, providing up to 35CFM of airflow and 1.04mm H2O of static pressure. The blades are translucent to help diffuse the lighting from the rim while they’re spinning.
The mounting point in each corner is padded by thin rubber pieces which should help to prevent reverberation between the fan and the chassis which can be a huge contribution to overall system noise in some scenarios.
The reverse side of the fan is nothing fancy or ground breaking, but Akasa have used a twisted fan mount which looks cool. The AR7 doesn’t require any kind of controller and is entirely self-sufficient for lighting effects.
Lastly the connections, both of which are three pin. The fan header is on the right, with a standard 3-pin connection that will marry up to any motherboard to power the fan at 1500 RPM. RGB lighting is sorted out using the left cable, which can be adapted to work on most mainstream motherboards.
