Large case fan designed to deliver strong airflow and striking addressable RGB lighting for visible PC builds. Builders who want low-noise cooling that looks as good as it performs will appreciate frosted blades and a reinforced frame. Is Cooler Master SickleFlow 200 ARGB the right upgrade for your chassis?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Airflow Performance: High airflow, 102.8 CFM, with 1.35 mmH2O static pressure
- • Best for: Front-panel case cooling where visible ARGB lighting matters
- • Not ideal for: Users who need an included ARGB controller or compact SFF enclosures
A large 200mm ARGB fan with frosted blades and 102.8 CFM airflow. Reinforced square frame and two-tier bearing sealant aim to reduce vibration and extend lifespan.
Powerful case ventilation – With upgraded Air Balance blade design
Air Balance blades are larger and have optimised curvature to increase swept volume and improve flow efficiency, producing 102.8 CFM and 1.35 mmH2O static pressure. The hybrid blade geometry helps push air through partial obstructions.
Stronger flow clears hot air from radiators and front intakes at lower fan speeds, improving thermal performance without revving fans excessively.
Quieter, steadier operation – With reinforced square frame and rib support
Frame reinforcement adds rib support that lowers turbulent flow and dampens vibration, contributing to a measured noise level of 15.7 dBA. Mechanical efficiency improves thanks to reduced flex under load.
Lower vibration keeps background noise down during typical desktop use, making the fan suitable for living-room or office-facing PCs.
Longer service life – With new two-tier bearing sealant
A sleeve bearing uses a two-tier sealing mechanism to protect against dust and oil leakage, improving reliability and achieving a mean time to failure figure of 160,000 hours.
Expect extended, maintenance-free operation compared with unsealed bearings, reducing the need for early replacement in everyday systems.
✨ The 4 Key Reasons for Cooler Master SickleFlow 200 ARGB
- Frosted blade diffusion - Produces even ARGB lighting across the large blade surface
- 102.8 CFM airflow capacity - Moves significant air volume at modest RPM for effective cooling
- Two-tier bearing sealant - Enhances longevity and resists dust and oil ingress
- Reinforced square frame - Cuts turbulence and lowers vibration for quieter running

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the fan need an external controller for ARGB?
A: The fan uses a 3-pin ARGB connection and is compatible with ARGB motherboards; a separate controller is not supplied.
Q: How loud is the fan under normal use?
A: Noise level is specified at 15.7 dBA, reflecting relatively quiet operation for a large 200mm fan.
Q: How durable are the bearings?
A: A two-tier sealing system on the sleeve bearing improves protection against dust and oil, yielding a rated 160,000 hours MTTF.
🏆 Our Verdict
Suitable for builders who want bold front-panel airflow and visible addressable RGB, especially in mid-tower and larger cases. Frosted blades, reinforced frame and upgraded bearings combine to deliver strong airflow, stable operation and longer service life. While upfront choice depends on chassis compatibility and ARGB setup, robust construction points to good long-term value.
