EVGA 400-hy-cl24-v1 Fan for PC

EVGA 400-HY-CL24-V1 Fan: A Comprehensive Overview

The EVGA 400-HY-CL24-V1 Fan is a key component of the EVGA CLC 240mm All‑In‑One RGB LED CPU Liquid Cooler. Designed for high performance and aesthetic appeal, this fan delivers exceptional airflow while maintaining low noise levels. Below we explore every aspect of this fan, from its technical specifications to its integration within the liquid cooling system.

Key Technical Specifications

• Diameter: 120 mm – a standard size that fits most radiators and case configurations.
• Maximum Speed: 2400 RPM – enabling rapid air movement across the radiator fins.
• Minimum Speed: 500 RPM – ensuring quiet operation during low‑load scenarios.
• Noise Levels: 16 dB (idle) to a maximum of 39.9 dB at full speed, providing a balance between performance and acoustic comfort.
• Static Pressure: 4.04 mm H₂O – optimized for pushing air through the dense fins of a liquid cooling radiator.
• Airflow Capacity: 74.82 cfm – sufficient to dissipate heat from high‑performance CPUs.
• PWM Control: 4‑Pin PWM – allowing precise speed adjustments via motherboard or dedicated controller.

Design and Build Quality

The fan features a robust 25 mm thickness construction, ensuring durability under continuous operation. Its black color scheme complements the sleek aesthetic of the EVGA CLC 240 system. The integrated RGB lighting is fully controllable, offering three primary colors—red, green, and blue—that can be customized to match any build theme.

Integration with the EVGA CLC 240 System

The EVGA 400-HY-CL24-V1 Fan is part of a dual‑fan setup that powers the 240 mm radiator. Together, they provide:

• Efficient Heat Transfer: The copper water block and aluminum radiator work in tandem with the fan’s high airflow to maintain low CPU temperatures.
• Low Pump Noise: With a pump noise level of only 20 dB, the overall system remains quiet even under heavy load.
• Wide Socket Compatibility: The cooler supports an extensive range of processor sockets—including LGA 1150, AM4, TR4, and more—making it versatile for various builds.

Installation and Compatibility

Installing the fan is straightforward thanks to its standard 120 mm mounting holes and 4‑Pin PWM connector. The fan’s dimensions (28 mm height, 276 mm width, 122 mm depth) fit comfortably within most mid‑tower cases. It is compatible with both Intel and AMD platforms, ensuring broad usability.

Performance Highlights

During real‑world testing, the fan consistently delivers:

• Stable Airflow: Maintaining near-maximum airflow even at reduced speeds, thanks to its high static pressure rating.
Quiet Operation: Noise stays below 20 dB during idle and peaks at just under 40 dB under full load—ideal for both gaming rigs and workstation setups. RGB Synchronization: The LED system integrates seamlessly with popular lighting software, allowing dynamic color changes that enhance visual appeal.

Maintenance and Longevity

The fan’s durable construction and low operating temperature contribute to a long lifespan. Routine cleaning of the radiator fins and fan blades can prevent dust buildup, preserving airflow efficiency over time.

Conclusion

The EVGA 400-HY-CL24-V1 Fan exemplifies the blend of performance, quiet operation, and visual flair that modern PC enthusiasts demand. As a core component of the EVGA CLC 240 liquid cooling solution, it ensures reliable thermal management while adding customizable RGB lighting to any build.

Whether you’re building a high‑performance gaming machine or a silent workstation, this fan delivers the airflow, noise control, and aesthetic flexibility needed for optimal CPU cooling.
