The Venturi High Pressure Series PWM fans, HP-12 and HP-14, are optimized for high-restriction airflow scenarios, making them an excellent choice for usage on large heatsinks, on radiators, or in other highly restrictive scenarios.
Designed with a variety of performance-increasing and noise-reducing features, these fans can move an amazing amount of air through restricted environments compared to other fans at the same, minimal noise level.
The HP-14 comes with two sets of solid vibration-dampening rubber corners: one for standard 140mm fan hole spacing (125mm) and one compatible with the standard 120mm hole spacing (105mm). The Venturi High Pressure Series PWM fans are ideal for those looking for a perfect balance between high performance and low noise built from sturdy, high quality materials.
Key features
Featuring true FDB-bearings, providing silent operation coupled with a long lifespan
Equipped with a counter-balanced magnet that reduces the axial tension on the bearing
Features integrated vibration-dampening corners, made from solid high-quality synthetic rubber
Dense, sturdy construction, made from high grade glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic polymer
Fan geometry is optimized for high pressure, delivering high performance results in high restriction usage scenarios, such as in use with large dense heatsinks or water cooling radiators.
Featuring PWM control with a very wide speed range, starting at only 400RPM (400 +/- 100 RPM), ideal for CPU heatsinks or radiators, where the motherboard can control the fan speed based on the CPU temperature.
Aerodynamically shaped thin stator struts reduce noise and unwanted turbulence.
Strategically placed notches on the blades further reduce and diffuse any humming noise produced when the blades pass the stator struts
The trip wire technology introduces a micro-turbulent layer that combats elements that negatively affect performance, resulting in quieter operation
Comes with a PWM Y-cable, for connecting additional fans to a single PWM header on your motherboard or PWM fan controller
140mm fans come with an additional set of vibration-dampening corners are included that lends compatibility with 120mm fan mounts (105mm screw spacing). This enables the use of 140mm fans on many CPU coolers.
Available in 120mm and 140mm fan sizes

"The Venturi is another fine and deserving addition to the ever-growing Fractal Range, yes they are on the expensive side. Based on everything we’ve seen today though, they are worth every penny. Performance both thermally and acoustics are fantastic."
"Fractal Design Venturi HP-12 PWM Black este un ventilator premium orientat către cei care doresc un ventilator silențios, fiabil. performant și nu în ultimul rând un ventilator realizat din materiale din cea mai bună calitate."
"Mit dem Venturi HP-12 PWM hat Fractal Design einen Lüfter in sein Sortiment aufgenommen, auf den sicherlich schon viele Fans von Fractal Design gewartet haben. Es handelt sich bei dem Venturi HP-12 PWM um einen sehr leistungsstarken Lüfter, welcher durch seine erreichte Performance bestens zum Einsatz auf einem CPU-Kühler oder einem Radiator geeignet ist."
+ High quality felling and excellent product presentation + Metal plate for the rotor + Modular corners for increased adaptability (for the 140 mm) + Very good ratio of performance and noise output. + Good bundle
The bad:
– Price, but it should be worth it – The fans could have had better static pressure"
