Figure 9 shows the 140 mm fans that come with the cooler. The fans have three-pin connectors, which means they are not PWM compatible, but the cooler comes with an adapter that controls the fans according to the PWM signal from the motherboard. Note the fins on the surface of the blades; they help to reduce the air turbulence.
