Scythe DFS123812-3000 "ULTRA KAZE" 120 x 38 mm Case Fan

Comment:
-Move tons of air-Low expense -For what they are, none. I purchased two of these fans to replace S-Flex 1600rpm fans which were fine, but not really up to undertaking what I asked of them. I run the two fans on a Kaze Q controller, even though I commonly run them maxed out anyway. Appropriate away I noticed in HWMonitor that my average idle temp dropped from 43C all the way down to 38C, just by upgrading the situation fans. I run a Phenom II 940BE @ 3.6ghz with stock cooler. So that considerably of a drop at the cpu is large.People who take eggs off for the noise don't make sense to me. It's a 38mm depth fan, which means the blades are going to be wider and mare angled, truly plowing by means of the air, and the fan spins at 3000rpm, so of course it is going to be loud. It has nothing to do with the brand, it's just how it is with a fan this powerful. You should have known that before acquiring. I can turn these down to about threeǚ power and they are about as quiet as my S-Flex fans have been at their maximum of 1600rpm.If you will need to move air, these will get the job don

Rapid air flow, just what im been looking for. I got two of these and just ordered one more for my radiator. Notice huge distinction with temp drops on my cpu, can't wait to get the other a single. none Don't stick your finger in the blades, it will almost cut you. great item, these guys know what there doing.

super quickly moves tons of air just watch ur fingers i sliced up mine not paying interest to the jet engine i recently place in the computer system besides that its amazing

Comment:
Pushes a ton of air. I was shocked how much I felt when I place my hand by it when operating. It is really a bit louder than most other fans, but I knew this prior to I bought it. If all you care about is a lot of airflow, this fan is wonderful.

Comment:
At 3000-ish RPM they push air noticeably. Heavy duty construction indicates the fans blades won't snap quickly when cleaning them. The 133 CFM pushing out assists cool the inside of my situation really rapid, would adore to see these hooked up to a water-cooling radiator setup. Even when making use of a software program fan controller to quiet these bad-boys down they nevertheless push a LOT of air. ࿼ CFM)You can use a hardware or application fan controller with these fans to run them in quiet mode, or crank them up to full blast when you will need it.Overall I'm impressed with Scythe's Ultra-Kaze fans. Yeah they're loud, but I was expecting that, I don't call them "man fans" for absolutely nothing. If you're searching to run these in a quiet atmosphere don't bother with the 4-pin PSU adapters these come with, hook them directly to the motherboard or a fan controller as an alternative and turn them down to about 1200 RPM ࿼CFM).I don't have a water-cooling setup to test these out on. That's the only genuine con. I would like to see if two of these blowing by way of a radiator in a push-pull config would make any difference.The only other con, and the 1 I'm taking an egg off for is the reality that most case fans blow air in a wide cone pattern that kind of leaves a dead zone in the middle. would favor it if fan makers would make far more "direct" air flow fans that blow in a || pattern rather of a V pattern simply because it tends to make it simpler to direct air flow to areas exactly where it's necessary inside the case. I've seen fans that can do this, but for the life of me I can't recall the brand or the name. I purchased two of these to go in a Thermaltake Spedo case soon after the fan blades on the stock fans snapped (very quickly) from standard cleaning. Plus the Thermaltake fans that were in it were the wimpiest I've ever had ྴ CFM). I like Thermaltake but they will need to start off putting much better stock fans in their instances. I have one particular set to Intake and the other set to Exhaust, My Phenom II 1090T thanks me for it.These fans are stunning monsters.

AIRFLOW oh my. This issue is certainly rocking airflow. I bought one just to see how loud it is and reviewers are correct. If this is cranked to 100% you can undoubtedly hear it the subsequent room over. Correct now I have it cranked to 80% and it seems audible at that level. For some purpose my mobo only reads 2700rpm won't go any greater. Not sure if all fans are like this or not but absolutely not seeing 3000rpm anytime soon. For the value and the results I would recommend this fan. This fan looks fairly nicely belt. Incredibly thick don't appear cheaply made. Blades look like they could slice your finger off if you manage them while they are operating. I plan on getting four additional to fill my case. Right now my cpu is sitting at 35 degrees celcius on stock cooler and I blame it all on this fan and I have a Q6600. Yes I have it attached to my side panel.

Just use a manual fan handle and floorboard it when you have to. No use listening to the whine for no cause.Scares cat on floorboard setting right out of the box. I anticipated noise so that's no massive deal. Monster fan and utilised appropriate is a great cooler.

Great fans for huge cooling. I have knocked off 20 C with these... on my 5870 even though I have four of them in my haf932 loud but I knew that currently

Comment:
quiet even when turning the power up and spinning rapidly, lots of cfm*(air movement), incredibly dependable as i have had two running 24ǝ for the final year and no change in overall performance or development of nasty noises etc..... none this is most likely a single of the greatest fans accessible taking into consideration the size, the schear volume of air that it moves, and the level of noise that it tends to make is comparatively ok.

Comment:
Keeps Computer idling at 27ºC and when i run crysis the max my GPU gets is 54ºC I have one particular installed and i purchased a different 1 for my buddy. Loud? I dont care though.

Comment:
- solid construction- low-cost- pushes a lot of air - quite loud Keeps a i7 930 undervolted to .93v @ stock speed w/ the Sycthe Mugen 2 around 40C with ambient room temp of 21C.The noise from the fan was unbearable. I highly suggest getting a fan controller if you are going to buy this fan.With my AeroCool V12XT, I set the fan speed to 1800rpm which reduces the noise Drastically. The lower rpm has negligible impact (.five-1C increase in CoreTemp) on the cooling potential of the fan.

A lof of airflow loud Fantastic fans. can't feel of better fans

Comment:
Working with this as an exhaust fan, and it does suck/blow some critical air. I'm really worried about it sucking all my components out of the situation...not really... My overall case temperature undoubtedly went down a couple of degrees although. Pretty loud, but not in an annoying way. Fantastic situation fan, I'm taking into consideration running it at lower speeds, so its not so loud

Comment:
Great coolingGreat Airflow Very noisy at max settings, which would be acceptable and expected, however, the fan tends to make a clicking/grinding noise when undervolted/set to lower settings. This clicking noise is really audible even through a closed case. If you are preparing on making use of the fan at max settings at all times, I would advise this item. Even so, if you strategy to decrease fan speed at any time, I would advise a much more expensive fan. This is not an isolated incident; a lot of other people are experiencing this grinding noise.

Comment:
-133CFM!-Static pressure like a mug-Can't beat the energy of these beasts-Sounds like Godzilla -Sounds like Godzilla-Becoming 38mm, they are sometimes tough to spot under particular circumstances I have been working with these fans in my last three builds. They are loud as all he//. Most will want to use a fan controller. For some reason the noise doesn't bother me d; I haven't had any complications with them except for their 38mm width. The cooling energy of these monsters is crazy.

Comment:
This factor pumps like a beast. Compared to my stock fans these fully decimate them. Comp temps are certainly way down from prior to. It's a small bit loud, but generally music is playing so I by no means genuinely hear the fan noise. Anyone seeking to maintain air cooling and not switch to liquid or to have this cool your radiator or just to have it in common will enjoy this fan. Does precisely what it's supposed to.

Incredible airflow.. great price tag following about a year and a half both my fans are rattling.. one doesn't push hardly any air any longer.. manually spinning the fan when not powered, it stops abruptly.. no no cost spin.I gave these fans 3 eggs due to the reality that i would count on them to last longer than 18 months for the price. the thickness/depth of the units are larger than normal 120 fans so maintain that in mind if you have special enclosures or clearance specifications.

Comment:
realy push a lot of air just a little noise extremely tiny will purchase a lot more

Good fans, have huge airflow. i have 5 in a full tower (basically a supertower or whatever they are called that are even bigger than complete towers) along with three 100cfm 80mm case fans in numerous places. three are on a Thermalright IFX-14 cooler, keeps temps down to mid/upper 50s celsius with prime 95 on my q8400 thats overclocked to three.6ghz (basically maximum it can post due to a locked multiplier). placing 3 of these on this cooler dropped temps about eight degrees compared to runnin two 80cfm 120's on it. and this cooler with these fans dropped temps more than 20 degrees celsius on prime 95 compared to a coolermaster v8. i also have a single on intake at the front of my case and one particular on exhaust at the back pulling via the side of the cpu cooler because the cooler is so ridiculously large i had to mount it pointing up to the best of the case. it sounds like a wind tunnel in my area which is great!! bearings are squeaking and rattling on 3 of them soon after 1 year. not positive how extended they are expected to last but i would assume a small longer than that for 12 bucks PER fan. also, you NEEEEED to figure out some sort of filtering setup for the intakes and open holes in your case to filter the incoming air. My house isnt super dusty but i'm pretty certain ALL of the dust in the house is directly sucked into my cpu cooler and the case. my temps are steadily rising due to the reality that the cpu cooler is becoming packed with dust. dust also cakes onto the fans/blades/housing and you literally have to scrape it off mainly because it starts coming into get in touch with with the blades. i guess this is to be expected although considering that i am moving much more air than a 350 small block v8 at complete throttle.

Strong style, can't vouch for reliability, but its strong and very heavy.Those who vote down mainly because they haven't read the specs aren't too vivid. obviously not a silent fan, but not absurdly loud either. Vibrates heavily at full RPM. Other fans may well offer far better CFM/dB than this fan, but at บ its a great deal. I would not use this in my rig on a regular basis, I bought this for benching and reaching high OC's.

Comment:
It pulls the air by way of. construction seems good. has adapter and screws in the kit. LOUD! if you will need a fan for an htpc or just want to queit a mchine, this ain't the fan you want. I knew going in it would be loud. I'm ok with it because it might be soon turned into a server box in a hall/utility closet.

Comment:
actually pushes air.. really loud, no PWM, nothing at all else to say

Comment:
this thing moves a ton of air doesn't fit in the front of an antec hundred series but that's to be expected this points seriously heavy weighs about a pound by itself

Comment:
130+ cfm for under บ is a deal to jump on. Loud, but you can't move that significantly air and count on it to be rather. They are thick but sold fans, only a con if your case is tight like mine. Had to use a screw driver to my case to make it fit. I have read exactly where some other people today have complications with them making noise right after a few months. I pulled the sticker off the back, removed a rubber pluck and pulled out the C clip to eliminate the fan. After that I added far more grease to the shaft of the fan and resembled the fan and it fixed my challenge. If you don't mind braking one to try it I suggest going for it. บ is worth the 2 minutes of operate and if it breaks it's only บ. Over a year running them and looking forward to another year of loud cool gaming. Planing on acquiring more for a new case and bear in mind to get a fan controller that can manage the present they draw.

Moves tons of air and functions wonderful with a fan controller. I have two of these on an H50 (push/pull config), and they move adequate air to cool my complete Computer. These fit perfectly in a CM HAF 932 case. What cons?? They can be a small loud at complete blast, but I knew that PRIOR to buy due to the fact the NOISE LEVEL is listed in the item Details!! Two of these mounted to an H50 maintain my 980X overclocked to 4000Mhz idle ᤘ-25c and max 55c 賓% load (Prime95). Impressive!!
