EK-Loop Fan FPT 120 is a 120mm high-static pressure computer cooling fan designed and built primarily for the highest-performance computer liquid cooling systems. FPT series fans aim to succeed the EK-Vardar fans completely, as they improve upon many aspects while maintaining focus on excellent radiator performance. These fans feature an optimized and balanced performance-to-noise ratio on the wide operational range of the fan.
FPT fans feature a full frame design that doesn't allow air to escape outside the frame and thus achieve overall better static pressure. The new fan allows daisy-chaining, ultimately reducing cable clutter and easing cable routing through the EK-OmniLink, an 8-pin Micro-fit connector-based ecosystem. All the signal and power wiring for PWM run on a single cable and connector, which then utilizes a single cable to connect to the source.
Full Pressure Technology (FPT) is a full frame design that makes contact with the radiator, sealing it completely off and thus doesn’t allow air escape loss of static air pressure.
Rubber corners are implemented on both sides of the fan to reduce vibration transfer to the rest of the PC.
The EK logo on the frame is applied in two orientations so that the user can achieve the optimal logo orientation for aesthetic purposes.
The cable can be optionally moved over to the other side if it eases cable routing.
EK-OmniLink – allows daisy chaining of multiple fans, thus reducing cable clutter and greatly easing cable management. The Omni-Link ecosystem of interconnects will be greatly expanded in the near future, allowing additional benefits to users. It uses Micro-fit 8-pin connectors between products.
The EK-OmniLink design resolves the cable clutter issues of unifying the connection of multiple fans onto a single header while still maintaining full flexibility if the user wants to remove a single fan from the chain. Other similar solutions on the market use interlocking mechanisms, which require the removal of the entire fan link if the user needs more room to tighten a fitting on a radiator.
A new motor with a Fluid Dynamic Bearing will significantly reduce noise, especially during low RPM operation. Operational friction is kept at very low levels even after years of service, unlike the traditional ball-bearing fans, which get noisier as time goes by. FDB fans can be mounted in both horizontal and vertical orientations without issues and reduced longevity, unlike traditional sleeve-bearing fans.
Innovative herringbone grooves are applied to the fan bearing that recirculate and distribute oil naturally between the rotor shaft and bearing to keep a stable and silent operation at high speeds.

High-quality, elegant as well as timeless design and technical innovation - these are the features of the Alphacool Apex Stealth metal fan. With its patent-pending decoupling technology, the robust metal frame and a special rotor, this fan certainly impresses. Not only is the Apex Stealth one of the most powerful fans, but it also remains the quietest at any speed.
• High performance and whisper quiet
• Patent pending decoupling technology
• Frame made of high quality metal
• Suitable for cases as well as radiators
• Controllable via PWM + Zero-RPM Control
Whisper Quiet
The fan blades, motor and its suspension are completely decoupled from the metal frame. For this purpose, a special damping system was placed between the metal frame and the fan, which absorbs all vibrations. This type of decoupling is a completely new system, which is brought to the market by Alphacool for the first time with the Apex fan. In addition, the impeller is equipped with a closed frame that prevents the impeller tips from fluttering at high speed, which also has a positive effect on the fan's characteristics.
Powerful All-rounder
The Alphacool Apex Stealth metal fan is a true all-rounder. It sets new standards in terms of airflow and static pressure. Therefore, this fan is not only perfect for mounting on radiators, but also provides excellent airflow as a case fan. The Apex Stealth can be controlled between 0 to 2000 rpm via the 4-pin PWM connector. The startup speed is ~420 rpm. In addition, the Stealth offers Zero RPM control, which can be used to bring the fan to a complete stop.
Apex Design
Alphacool's Apex product line represents the highest level of perfection. First-class materials and innovative technologies guarantee a unique premium product. Consisting of high-quality metal, the curved frame gives the Apex Stealth its distinctive design and fits perfectly into any PC build.
Additional Features
As usual with Alphacool, multiple fans can be effortlessly connected in series via daisy chain. The cables can be hidden in the corners of the fan so that they are no longer visible. A 50 cm PWM cable is also included as an extension. The 6-pole motor in combination with the HDB bearing (Hydro Dynamic Bearing) ensures extremely quiet operation and high durability.
