The Server Fan 8056, operating at 16300RPM, is a high-airflow cooling solution engineered for large-scale server environments (e.g., data centers, enterprise-grade storage servers, or AI training workstations) where its 80mm (width) x 56mm (depth) form factor and optimized blade geometry deliver exceptional airflow performance. Airflow—measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM)—is the primary strength of this fan, and its design is meticulously crafted to maximize air movement while maintaining efficiency and reliability.

At 16300RPM, the 8056 fan generates a airflow output of 60 to 75 CFM, placing it among the top performers in the 80mm server fan category. This high airflow volume is achieved through two key design elements: a deep 56mm housing (vs. 38mm in the 8038) that allows for longer blade length and a larger air intake area, and a BLDC motor with a high torque output, which ensures the fan maintains 16300RPM even under moderate airflow resistance. Unlike compact 40mm fans that prioritize static pressure over airflow, the 8056 balances both: its static pressure ranges from 50 to 80 Pa, sufficient to push air through dense heat sinks (e.g., 6-heat-pipe CPU coolers) and across multiple drive bays (e.g., 24x 3.5-inch HDDs in a storage server) without significant pressure drop.

Airflow consistency is another critical feature: the 8056 uses a “reverse rotation” blade design (optional in some models) to minimize airflow interference when multiple fans are installed in parallel (a common setup in data center servers). This reduces turbulence between adjacent fans, ensuring that the total airflow is close to the sum of individual fan outputs (e.g., four 8056 fans delivering ~260 CFM total, vs. 220 CFM for non-reverse rotation fans). Additionally, PWM control allows the fan to adjust its speed between 9000 and 16300RPM based on temperature feedback, optimizing airflow for real-time heat loads: at 9000RPM, it delivers 30–40 CFM (ideal for idle or low-load periods), while ramping up to 75 CFM at 16300RPM during peak loads (e.g., AI model training with multiple GPUs).

Energy efficiency is also notable: despite its high airflow, the 8056 draws 1.0–1.3A at 12V, which is more efficient per CFM than smaller high-RPM fans (e.g., the 4056 30000RPM uses 0.8–1.2A for only 18–25 CFM). Noise levels at 16300RPM are 52–60 dB, which is manageable in data centers with sound insulation, and drops to 30–38 dB at lower speeds. Real-world applications confirm its efficacy: in a 4U AI server with four NVIDIA A100 GPUs, the 8056 16300RPM fan kept GPU temperatures at 70–80°C under full load, a 10–15°C reduction compared to a standard 8038 fan, ensuring sustained GPU performance and extending component lifespan.
