The original Scythe 100 mm fan has a strength of no more than 12 mm & is integrated completely in the heat sink, whereby the border has been omitted. Thus, the Ita Kaze HDD cooler covers almost the entire surface of the hard disk & cools the components more effectively. The speed of the installed fan was optimised for a low-noise operation, according to which the speed is 1, 000 RPM & generates a noise level of 14.5 d BA. A 3 to 4-pin adapter is included in the delivery & enables a direct connection of the fan at the 4-pin Molex plug of the power supply.
