Evercool rolled out the Ever Green Fan 12 Plus. This 140 mm spinner that can fit into 120 mm fan-mount holes, jumps into the "green" bandwagon by being made of eco-friendly materials, and using technologies that reduce power-draw and noise. Wherever possible the Ever Green minimizes plastic content, by using a thin round frame compared to a thick square one. It uses a lime-green frame, with a darker-green 9-blade impeller. The motor uses an "Ever Lubricated" bearing, which steps up the rated life-span all the way up to 40,000 hours. The fan spins at 1200 ± 10% RPM, with less than 23 dBA of noise output. The frame has a silicone gasket on one side, that absorbs vibrations. Rubber bolts, instead of metal screws are provided, that further reduce vibration transfer. Evercool did not give out pricing of the Ever Green Fan 12 Plus.
