Today we are taking a look at the 120mm Lepa Vortex fan. The key feature Lepa has designed into this fan is its vortex frame, which according to Lepa, “generates a powerful air twirl that concentrates the fresh air and leads it directly to the hot spots of the system.” A regular fan tends to push air in a large area in front of it, with a lot of the air not concentrated in one direction. The Vortex claims to be able to funnel the airflow in a singular direction. If this proves true it could make for a great case fan that is able to precisely direct air to the hottest areas.

lotsa spelling errors in this one 😛
interesting review, would love to play with one of these, for a quiet computer they would be great for side panel/window installs
It is an interesting fan. Perfect for what you are describing.
I actually have it installed as a front intake in my case pointed directly at my GPU.
