Thermalright TY-141 140mm PWM Fan

True to Thermalright’s motto “innovated - not imitated” they are proud to present the TY 141, an evolved version of the innovative TY-147 fan.

In addition to the unmistakable change in the colour, the changes relate to the design and the levitation of the impeller (i.e. the fan blades). While the TY-147 fans, which are still used on Thermalright’s “Value” series coolers, are equipped with an “Enhanced Hyper-Flow Bearing”, the Thermalright TY-141 fan sports a double ball bearing. This bearing guarantees further increases the fans durability.

Features

Great airflow, low noise
2-Ball Bearing for longevity
Minimum noise only 17 dB(A)
Maximum airflow 73.9 CFM
4-pin PWM connection

The design of the fan corresponds to the desire of users to realise the greatest possible air flow rate at the lowest possible noise. Naturally fans with a larger diameter will produce a higher capacity at the same speed and/or the same noise level than smaller models.

The Thermalright TY-141 has the dimensions 140 x 160 x 26.5mm but the mounting points are identical to those of conventional 120mm fan. Due to its sophisticated design, the inner diameter of the fan is even slightly greater than that of a conventional 140mm fan. The truncated frame allows it to be mounted onto various coolers that are designed for a standard 120mm fan. A requirement is that the fan is mounted directly on the side facing the heat sink. Fan brackets which engage over the entire frame are usually incompatible. When using it as a case fan you should examine whether sufficient space is available.

The speed range of the temperature-controlled PWM-fan is 900 - 1300 RPM - the flow rate varies between 56.6 and 73.9 CFM. Even at low speed and correspondingly lower noise, the capacity is higher than the performance of conventional 120mm axial fans.

For a sufficiently silent operation, the model has seven newly designed fan blades. Together with the optimised wings and streamlined frame design, the fan is effective and at the same time produces extremely quiet wind noise.

The monitoring and control of the fan speed is done via the motherboard’s PWM function.

FAQ

How do I measure fan size?
The size of fan you need will generally be determined by the size of the fan fitting position in your PC case. The sizes of all the fans on our website are shown as measured along any one of the fan’s four sides, NOT the distance between the fan’s screw holes! Our most popular fan size is 120mm, followed by 80mm. This isn’t really dictated by customer preference, but more by recent designs of PC cases.

As for the thickness (depth) of the fan, generally 25mm (1 inch) is by far the most common depth, although smaller fans can have shallower depths such as 15mm or even 10mm. All our fans are 25mm thick unless otherwise stated. If you have any questions about which fan you should order, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

If you know the distance between the fan mounting screw holes but don’t know what fan size to order, please see the following table. Note that the mounting hole measurements shown below are taken horizontally or vertically between the holes and not diagonally.

I received a small cable (resistor) with my fan; what is it for?
The resistor cable (also called Ultra Low Noise or ULN cable) is designed to allow the fan to run slightly slower for even quieter operation. The benefit in lower running noise is significant. Although the airflow will be reduced slightly, this usually has minimal effect on PC temperature. We would generally recommend using the ULN resistor cable for best results in almost all circumstances.
How can I tell which way the air blows through the fan?
Hold the fan so that the round fan sticker is facing you. You are looking at the rear of the fan. When you plug the fan in, the air will be blowing towards you. If you want a fan to act as an air intake, then the fan sticker will be facing the inside of the case. Some fans also have two small arrows moulded into their plastic housing - one arrow shows the direction of airflow, and the other (at 90°) shows the direction of blade rotation.
Is it possible to use a 4-pin PWM fan or CPU cooler with a motherboard which has only 3-pin fan headers on it?
Electrically, there is no problem doing this - the fourth pin on the fan cable is used purely for PWM control and is not needed in order for the fan to run. So you can plug the 4-pin fan connector onto the 3-pin motherboard fan header, leaving the fourth pin not connected to anything. The fan will potentially run at full speed, so if you would like to reduce the speed of the fan you will need to adjust the fan speed setting in your BIOS or use fan control software such as SpeedFan in Windows.

The only other problem to consider is that occasionally, components immediately adjacent to the motherboard fan header can get in the way of the larger 4-pin fan connector, physically preventing connection. This problem also occurs if you try to use an in-line fan speed controller such as the one made by Gelid.

Another avenue to explore is the possibility of using a bay-mounted fan controller. Several models are available now which provide 4-pin fan headers, so this is an easy way to use 4-pin PWM fans in a PC system which has only 3-pin fan headers on its motherboards. When using this method, you may find it necessary to disable any fan warning settings in your motherboard BIOS, since the motherboard may incorrectly believe that its CPU fan has failed when the fan is connected to a fan controller rather than directly to the motherboard itself.
