When an order mixes forward and reverse fans, separate them by direction before checking out. The listings are priced identically, so nothing flags a mistake. Only the product name distinguishes them.
A basket holding both forward and reverse Amici 5GT fans looks identical at checkout, because the listings carry the same price whichever direction the blades turn. Sorting them before paying, rather than after unpacking, is the difference between a five-minute check and an install-day surprise.
Forward and reverse Amici 5GT fans are priced the same, R199 for a single and R449 for a three-pack in both directions, so nothing in the basket total flags a mixed or mistaken order. The only way to confirm what is actually being bought is to read each product name, which states the blade direction explicitly.
A basket totalling R648 could be a three-pack plus a single in the same direction, or a pack of one direction with a single of the other. Both add up to the identical figure. Because Evetech does not charge a premium for the reverse-blade version, the total in the checkout screen carries no information about which direction was actually selected. That makes the product name, not the price, the thing worth double-checking.
Every Amici 5GT listing spells out blade direction in its title, alongside colour and pack size. A standard fan simply omits the reverse-blade wording; a reverse fan states it directly. Reading each line item in the basket against the position it is meant for, before completing the order, catches a mismatch while it still costs nothing to fix.
When a mounting spot leaves the fan's rear facing outward, the reverse-blade design keeps that visible side tidy without changing which way air actually moves through it. Whether a build needs one, several, or none comes down to case layout: which panels are transparent, and which fan positions sit behind them. That decision has to be made before ordering, since it is the input the sorting check is verifying against, not something the check itself determines.
Before checking out, list each fan the basket contains against the position it is intended for. A three-pack of standard blades for an exhaust row, plus a reverse single for one visible intake fan, is a normal mixed order and reads cleanly once written out that way. The same basket, read only as a total price, gives no indication that it contains a mix at all.
Once the boxes arrive, the product name on each box is still the fastest way to confirm what was received matches what was ordered, before anything is unpacked and the fans start looking identical to each other. If a box shows the wrong direction, a single replacement at R199 corrects one position, which is cheaper and faster than returning a whole pack. Reviewing Evetech's case fans listing again against the arrived boxes is a quick way to confirm nothing was substituted in transit, and any mounting hardware needed beyond what shipped with the case is in case accessories.
Both directions share the same specification: up to 1800 RPM, up to 61.5 CFM, 30 dBA or less, a hydro-dynamic bearing rated for 50,000 hours, and a 24-LED infinity mirror. Blade direction changes which way the fan's rear faces in a case, not how it performs or how it is lit, so a sorting mistake is a visual issue rather than a functional one. Every fan, whichever direction, carries the same year of local warranty.
No, both directions are priced identically in both pack sizes, so a mixed order costs exactly what the same total fan count would cost in a single direction.
By checking which way the blades curve relative to the frame, though it is far easier to check the box label before unpacking than to work it out afterward from the fan alone.
No. Both share the same RPM ceiling, airflow figure, and noise rating; the difference is which face of the fan is visible in a given mounting position.
It will still function correctly as a fan; the only consequence is that the visible face in that position will not be the one the build intended to show.
Within Evetech's normal returns process, yes, though checking the basket before paying avoids that step entirely.
No, the same year of local warranty applies to both directions and to both pack sizes.
Yes, particularly for a mixed order, since a quick label on each box prevents having to guess later which fan came from which line item.
