Pros: Quite120mmX120mmX20mmPushes lots of air Comment:
I bought it for my side case fan in my Antec 1200 case. Greatsize 20mm thick is what I needed. The 25mm fans were hitting my Thermalright Ultra Extreme 120. Great fan quite and pushes a lot of air. This keeps my gpu's nice and cool. This review was modfied by poster @ 11-24-08 04:30 PM |

Cons: Can't be priced-matched for $3 like the old YL, but $7 is nothing to complain about really.
Pros: Superior CFM, typical Yate Loon quality, 20mm width makes for easier install. Running with a Zalman Fanmate2 and below 90% this isn't even audible to my 30 year old ears. Comment:
Originally intended to run this on a CPU cooler, but needed more air circulation in my Apex MI-008 and this does an AMAZING job. Vs an older YL 120mm I gained an incredible 6^c cooling. I'll be swapping all my P182 fans for this model ASAP... |

Pros: - Moves a lot of air- Quiet Comment:
I bought 4 of these to replace the Antec Tricools that came with my P180. With the tricools I had them all at max except for top exhaust because it made an irritating noise (not really loud but irritation). Although the Yate loons don't come with a fan speed switch they aren't louder than the tricools and maybe even quieter. In fact they have allowed me to drop my 4870 fan speed a couple % which also reduces noise.Anyways if you know where to look these can be had for very cheap and are definitely worth it. |
I am impressed by these fans. Considering there RPM they are extremly quiet yet still move a surprising amount of air. However I would not use these on a RAD or CPU heatsink or even with a air filter as they do not have a lot of air pressure. Well this is my impression anyway I have no way of actually testing this. The best part about them is they fit in a lot of places other fans would be tight. However NCIX price for them is a bit steep... they are sleeve bearing and plain afterall..
