Cons: Doesn't over like to be under volted
Pros: Moves a lot of airStatic pressure |

Cons: - Loud...- 38mm thickness may pose compatibility problems, but it adds to it's functionality of High Static Pressure so I don't know if you can call that a con.- Cannot undervolt, unless you like ticking noises!
Pros: - Powerful- Cheap- High Static Pressure & CFM Comment:
Probably the most affordable perfomance 120mm fan for cooling radiators and such.As a case fan, this could work too but I think it might be a little excessive (too loud). You could probably find another fan with similar CFM w/ less noise. |

Cons: 38mm thickness doesn't fit in tight areasPossibly the loudest fan out there
Pros: Best 120mm cooling fan on the market Comment:
This is by far the best 120mm fan in the market. Using it in my server with 5 HDDs. Temperatures dropped by 20 for CPU and 10 for the drives. Don't care much for the noise since it's tucked away. Definitely recommended for a server. |

Cons: no
Pros: Excellent je le conseil a tous! Comment:
Les fans sont de bonne qualité le flux d'air passe très bien dans mon quad rad mes température on baisser depuis que j'utilise ses fans. La fans est pas très chère et fait grandement la job! en plus j'ai des filtre a air et laisser moi vous dire que la perte d'entré d'air est minime. |

Cons: loud, big, cant fit inside of a case with the corsair h series
Pros: moves a ALOT of air, effective, cheap Comment:
i wanted to get alot of performance for the h50 without the cost, and i wasn't disappointed....i fit two these on a h50 with push/pull on a antec 1200, with a fan controller (that is set on 2200rpm - 2400). Then put the h50 on a i7 960 and now i'm at 4.0ghz with HT on at 38 to 40 c average idle temps. the cost to performance ratio is very good but then it also depends how much noise you like |

Cons: nothing, maybe a little thick to install into a PC
Pros: powerful, not so noisy for capacity Comment:
I bought 4 of them to build myself a home air exchanger that would run on 12V because I own DIY solar panels.I can't see what the fuss is about when people complain it's noisy... It is the 120mm fan that moves the most air at 133 CFM. It's bound to make a little noise. I can't imagine having 1 of these in my computer 2 feet away from my head though.I have 4 of them that work all at once in the house and I can't say I am displeased with the ambient noise level. Had I wanted a totally silent system, I would have paid 600$+ dollars plus dock-work and installation for an air exchanger.At 6.67$ price-matched each... They were a steal !Installing these into a computer could prove a problem since their thickness. Check if you have the clearance first. |

Cons: -None. It does its job perfectly.
Pros: -Not as loud as says-Moves a LOT of air-Made of high quality materials-feels sturdy Comment:
This fan moves a lot of air and it's not as loud as people says. The loudness is more from the moving air and not from the motor. I used to have a Vantec Tornado and that's loud for me. I may have gotten a silent one by luck and it's nowhere as loud as the videos on YouTube makes it out to be. Maybe I just have high tolerance of sound or my definition of loudness is not the same as most people. I will get another Ultra Kaze soon as a front intake using a Cooler Master 4 in 3. http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=29431&vpn=STB-3T4-E3-GP&manufacture=COOLERMASTER |

Cons: Thick.Sharp.WHIRRRRRRRRRR.
Pros: Oh my god airflow.Easy to install. Comment:
I sure hope you like jets!Because this thing sounds like one. I have 4 in my case. I always have a headset on, so it's not a problem. However, if you live with someone, they might want to kill you. Don't expect to sleep if you have these in your bedroom. |

Cons: - Very loud, sound like a jet engine ;)- "non-standard" 38mm, wasn't a bother in my case, but could be for some
Pros: - Move a lot of air, and I mean A LOT!!!- Truly high static pressure, ideal for a push pull configuration- Great for a H70 upgrade, CPU will be running at room temp, anyway in my case. Comment:
I just love those fans, a bit on the noisy side, but I'll slow them down a bit with a fan controller, and for intense gaming, I'll have a good setup to cool my CPU down. Happy buyer!!! ;) |

Cons: Not sure it needs to be reminded, but a fan spinning at 3000 RPM is not silent. Not even close. If you get a couple of these, your case will sound like a jet engine.
Pros: Well, it's a 3000 RPM, 133.6 CFM fan. This is huge. Also the static pressure is very high too, perfect for those hyper dense heatsink fins. Comment:
If you are looking for your case to liftoff, this is the fan you want.If you want high efficiency yet still usable in a living room, do not get this fan.The only reason someone should buy this as a case fan would be if the case is an isolated area/room and needs the maximum airflow.Because it excels at doing what's it's supposed to do - high static pressure, high air volume and lots of noise, I highly recommend this fan and give it a 5-stars.

Cons: Too loud for use in an every-day desktop PC.
Pros: More airflow than you'll ever need.Big, chunky build quality. Tough.Very affordable. Comment:
This a great product. If you need a lot of airflow and don't care about noise, this is the perfect choice. Its rated at 133CFM but actual tests on youtube indicate around 70CFM. All manufacturers artificially inflate their product ratings. |

Cons: Loud. Not as loud as some people have been complaining though.
Pros: Great fans. High RPM, CFM and nice and cheap. Comment:
The Fans due do to the decent price I bought to try and see how they would do as heat sink fans for the H70. They do a bang up job. |

Cons: Thick(i managed to macgyver it in, so not an issue)Great price has me questioning quality
Pros: FASTHigh CFMGreat static pressure Comment:
I will rate this fan 5/5. I will not rate it lower like others are because they can't read it's a 38MM fan, it is NOT the fans fault it does not fit or is not the right product for you. The price is unbelievable, with pricematch even better.It dropped 4C so far full load on my Big Typhoon. Had to do some odd work to get it to sit in place as the old screws were not long enough. I can only imagine how much it will help once i clock my computer higher.If noise is not an issue and you need a good fan for a heatsink with a lot of fins etc this is by far, far the best fan for the price. |

Pros: pricecfm.static pressureshroud width Comment:
I've read a lot of reviews and people saying this fan will tick and click when you lower the rpm. I have not experienced that yet, maybe im lucky? maybe we'll have to wait couple days and see if it happens.fan does blow damn hard! if i set it to full RPM it's like jet plan taking off |

Cons: Brings the loudness of my case up and does not fit right.
Pros: Really fast pushes a lot of air. Comment:
Hey there I got this fan today and well it does move a lot of air and is loud. I noticed that when it was plugged right into the power supply it was full speed. When I plugged it into the motherboard the speed dropped because the MB was controlling the speed. I put this into the rear of my Thermaltake Tsunami case and it did not fit right. I had to not put on the fan bracket that came with the case. Also I could only put two screws in because of the fact I could not use the case fan bracket. I give it a 3 out of 5 because of these issues if I did not have these issues it would be a 5 out of 5 for me. |

Pros: PowerfulCheap Comment:
Bought two of these for push pull on my coolermaster hyper 212 and brought my temps down another 10 degrees while still maintaining a low fan speed! These may be a little loud if plugged straight into your psu but otherwise they are great and move a ton of air. |

Pros: SUPER STRONG AIR FLOWSOLID Comment:
I bought 8 of these for my swiftech 3fan Rad. They move a ton of air but it gets loud. I also bought the scythe fan controller to adjust the speed. I don't think you'll ever need to turn this all the way up unless you live somewhere super hot. |

Cons:
A very thick fan. Sounds like a hair dryer.
Pros: Can move a lot of air. Comment:
Had to do a lot of case modding to fit, but managed to get two of these as intakes in at the front of the case, and will require more modding to get the third one in as an exhaust, not enough space between my cpu heat sink and where I need to mount the exhaust fan. |

Cons:
Loud (but hey, 3000RPM what do you expect)38mm thick. Had to remove my HDD bays in my tempest, my HDD now is laying ontop of some wires.I have them hooked up to a fan controler, 4 of them. There speeds are erratic when I have it on "full blast". Probably some sort of power issue though.
Pros: InexpensiveMoves a ton of air. Feels like a hairdryer, but cool. Comment:

It's quite heavySounds like my vacuum
Pros: it BLOWS a lot of air. Comment:
When i first got it at aberdeen, i opened it up and i didn't find the 3-4pin connector and the screws. NCIX just grabbed it out of the same fan, and handed them over to me. Good service.Secondly, when i first plugged it in, it freaked me out. It sounded like my vacuum. I had cash on the table, and it just flew away. Id prefer it would be more quieter, so , it's forcing me to buy a fan controller now |

Noise
Pros: Powerful, Moves lots of air Comment:
I got two of these for my new build. I wanted to use one for the hard drive bay and one as an exhaust fan. Exhast part worked great but I had to use other screws than the ones it came with. They seem to be really thick to fit the my Thermaltake Kandalf LCS...?! I didn't have enough room to fit the other so I used the stock exhaust fan that I just changed. Temperature drop is very noticeable. Recommend if you don't mind a little noise and the price is very right. |

Pros: Quite FastLots of Air Comment:
Overall fan does what I expected to do. Very loud but also moves a lot of air. I would recommend this if you don't mind the loud noise or if you have a fan controller |
Great fans for rads which moves a lot of air at the cost of noise. If noise is an issue for you, STAY AWAY. Great fans overall.
