Seasonic Intros 30 mm Thick MAXFlow 120 mm Fan Series
Seasonic has introduced its new MAXFlow 120 mm cooling fan series with a thickness of 30 mm. It features a reinforced frame with noise-dampening corner pads while the reverse fan design with arc-shaped blades improves the airflow. Seasonic newest MAXFlow fan measures 120 mm x 120 mm x 30 mm and runs on DC power between 9.5 V and 13.8 V with a maximum speed of 3300 RPM. The fan use high-quality Japanese NMB ball bearings with a lifespan of up to 70,000 hours.
Performance specifications include impressive airflow of 154.85 CFM and static pressure of 8.5 mm-H₂O, though noise levels reach 46.60 dB(A) at maximum speed. For convenience, a three-speed selector switch allows users to choose between quiet operation (up to 1000 RPM), balanced performance (up to 2000 RPM), or maximum cooling capacity (up to 3300 RPM). Seasonic MAXFlow 120 mm is available in white and black versions, as a single pack or triple set (this kit includes an additional 3-to-1 PWM extension cable for motherboard connection) and is backed by a 5-year warranty. Exact pricing and availability are not known at this moment, however, Seasonic is mentioning "affordable price" on product presentation pages.

OT: 30mm is a great idea. Now we need radiators and heatsinks with 15-20% denser fin stack.
EDIT: I see Phantek made a 30x120mm back in 2021 and the performance is excellent. In some configurations its actually the best performing fan when it comes to noise vs perf. to this day.
I'm pretty sure if they launch at more than $100 for a 3 pack, consumers will very quickly make them a big, fat, resounding D..O..frigg..A.. hahahaha :)

No - Fans have certain performance parameters. 30mm may be better. But - only the performance specs matters. I think i saw 45 or 50 DBA hours ago on both documents with barely any specs today.no data, no curves for anything else.
i also disliked, what i remember. 3000 rpm + 10% and - 10%. that is junk specs. That should be max rpm from 2700 to 3300 rpm. Serious?
Anyway, loudness shouldn't be a problem.
