Gentle Typhoon Fans ending production

Sad News

Sad news regarding the Scythe Gentle Typhoon line, but we have hopes that the new Scythe Grand Flex line should be an adequate replacement:

FrozenCPU,
Regretfully, both Nidec and Scythe have decided not to continue their business relationship.

We will not be able to fulfill your Gentle Typhoon order.
We will be promoting the new Grand Flex fans. These are supposedly better than the Gentle Typhoons.
We need to get the message out to the public. I should have some samples by early next month.
By the way, Scythe reserves the right to the name Gentle Typhoon.
That means Nidec can’t sell the product to anybody with our label, our package, our brand and etc. attached to it.

Thank you.

Best Regards,
Hank Peng
SCYTHE, Inc.

Do they look like this?

Really?! why?? the gentle typhoons are like one of the most popular fans for radiators. Why kill it? That doesn't make sense at all.
Bad business deal.....

I'm sure it has to do with a break down in negations. Who makes how much off what. You may see the same fan under a different name soon. Someone like alphacool could pick it up under a new name. Or even Cooler master.

[najiro]

I hope that's the case. I also hope somebody with better logistics like Cooler Master gets it then

would love to see how the grand flex fans compare to the gentle typhoons. just wish they would change the color of the blades.

I have yet to see a fan that can compete with these when fitted to a rad.

Sad news indeed.

I have eight Slip Stream fans by Scythe sitting on the shelf. Only used six of them for a short time, and two are still new in the box.
Maybe I should sell them or trade them off.

[TeeBlack]

Slip Streams are good fans just loud though.

A fan controller may help that if you were to run them a little slower. I have one, but I also have a lot of fans that are quiet right out of the box.

I'm glad I bought six of the gentle typhoon PWM fans before they ended production

LOL!

It's not as if there are not a lot of other high performing, low noise fans on the market now.
Many of them have a unique look or cool lighting going for them as well as low prices.

I use my Laptop so i have never used these fans, but it's awlways sad to see a good business go down.
