Like the rubber mounts. Replaced the tri cools I had in my Sonata 3 when they quit after approx a year, never had to do anything since. Hadn't even thought about them till I noticed them on the flyer.

Pros: Bought on Sale, Quiet.
Comment:
Great Fan. Quality build from quality components. Quieter than some of my other fans. Got it on sale for $11.99 and was well worth it. Didn't bother with the included fan controller since I have a 12 channel controller already. Used in 2 cases already, 1 as push and other as pull and works great either way. Recommend to buy if you are on a green color scheme and/or is on sale again.

Highly recommended high air flow fans with no noise. The green fan blades glow nicely with blue or UV cathodes. Packaged with lots of extras.

Cons: -Not very UV reactive

Pros: -Decent airflow-SILENT! I'm very happy-came with neat rubber grommets, no screws!-Came with variable resistor, can be used for noisier fans
Comment:
Its a good fan, I'd recommend it as a case fan for silent builds but don't expect it to light up under UV light

Cons: Zero instructions

Pros: Decent price on saleUnique designGreat warranty
Comment:
Got one of these on sale to cool the hard drive bay in one of my PCs. For about $13 it was priced around more pedestrian 120mm fans, so why not?In the box: the fan (natch), a fan speed control, a fan speed control cable and four soft fan connectors. Not that it matters a great deal to me, but it really is quite a nice-looking fan, with the green and black combination. I won't be seeing it once it's installed, but it does seem to be well-made.The fan cable, approximately 50 cm long as the specs say, is actually covered in a mesh sleeve and is quite flexible. It has a three-pin connector that could be attached directly to a motherboard header, if desired. Alternatively, there is another narrow ribbon cable, also approximately 50 cm long, with a connector for the fan cable, and another for a motherboard header, both connectors on the same end. The other end has a connector to attach to the included fan controller. The specs say that the fan can be operated with as little as 5 volts, on up to the rated 12 volts.The fan blades themselves have flanges along their outer edges that supposedly aid in reducing noise. The ability to remove the fan impeller assembly relatively easily is a nice touch compared to most fans, as cleaning the blades of dust over time will be much simpler.The fan comes with a five-year warranty, presumably due to the longevity afforded by the dustproof/waterproof design and the unique Nanoflux self-lubricating bearing.No instructions came with the fan and none seem to be available on the manufacturers website. This is not unusual for a case fan, of course, but something describing the wiring options might have been appropriate. They're not hard to figure out, but still...Anyway, for what I paid I'm quite pleased, and if it stands up as the marketing material claims, I know I'll be tempted to get others when the need arises.

Cons: Rubber silencing things were really fragile.

Pros: Durable. Quiet. High air flow.
Comment:
Had this going now for about 2 years, and haven't had an issue with it yet. Have it hooked up to the engine block heat sink on top my CPU now where the silencing things broke when trying to install them the first time. Fan controller still working.. Everything seems to be as advertised. Highly recommend this to anyone weather your replacing that old seized up 120mm fan that you got tired of oiling.. or if your just putting another in.

Cons: hard to use screw. I wanted to screw them on my radiator.

Pros: Looks very nice, Fan controler
Comment:
These fans just look awesome in my case with UV lights. I haven't seen it mentionned anywhere but they also include an individual fan controler.

Comment:
Watch out for pricematch. NCIX has a tendency to slack of on price competitiveness lately.What can I say about a fan? It moves air?It does just that at a very low noise level. I like them both.

Gelid make some great fans. I am using two of these as a push pull set up for my Thermalright 120 heatsink. They are super quiet and look pretty neat. I would never hesitate to buy these fans again or other fans from Gelid. Just wish they were led.

Cons: -none

Pros: -UV Green!-Perform well-Apparently, you can use them underwater...for when you want to take you computer in the tub with you**Doing so will likely void your warranties
Comment:
Really like these fans, have two and another 92mm as well. they are quieter than my old cooler masters which I thought at the time where very good(probably where just as good but time has not treated them well). They look sweet under uv light. Install was a breeze with the rubber mounts and they didn't break. have seen videos with people putting these underwater, Completely pointless but if water doesn't penetrate to the bearings then neither will dust:). They are a little expensive but the quality and inherently the expected lifetime of these makes up for it. That...and there uv green!

Cons: The plastic does feel cheap, but it looks durable.

Pros: Awesome Fan, pushes quite the bit of aireasy to clean
Comment:
Great fans, bought 3 and some UV cathodes to play around with it. There's almost no noise coming from these fans at around a medium speed, only at maximum speed will you hear this fan. Even then, it's not so loud, at least its imperceptible due to the video card. Also, this fan is amazingly easy to clean, i don't need to dismount, i just pop off the blades and some wiping here and there and they're clean; this also makes cleaning the frame easy. Due note that you must clean often, cause it sucks in air it brings it quite a bit of dust even with a good filter.Overall, this is a very solid fan.

Cons: 3-pin power

Pros: Performance/PriceComes with adjustable speed controllerEasy to install
Comment:
I personally really have liked this Gelid's performance quite a bit. My strengths have listed why I liked it, the performance for the price is very solid, especially when you ca get it lower. Only weakness I don't like is the 3-pin, seeing as I prefer a 4-pin molex due to an abundance of them.Will buy again when needed.

Cons: Chassis appears to be made out of same plastic as coke bottles and not much thicker either.

Pros: Exceptional range of operating voltages.
Comment:
I find that this fan is actually quite loud at its top speed of around 1600RPM. What's amazing about it, though, is that it becomes very quiet if you back it off of that top speed just a little, say to 1400RPM. If you go down to 1200RPM and below, then it's basically silent. Airflow is good across the RPM spectrum but not remarkable. It starts and runs at apparently very low voltages and RPMs.The chassis material leaves a lot to be desired.

Cons: - price some will say

Pros: - very quiet even when connected directly to power supply- blase remove easily for cleaning- push good air, AND static pressure for the dba level- GREEN, very green, i love it
Comment:
No doubt if your want good static pressure, nothing insane, then these offer a great balance at very low dba levels. Mine are on a mugen 2 push/pull connected to power supply... i think they are very quiet at 1500 rpm.Recommended for sure, i am buying again.

Cons: cheap plastic fan housingno molex adapter or screws (not a big deal)

Pros: quietlots of airflowgood static pressurecomes with fan controller, case sticker, and rubber mounts
Comment:
I bought this to replace a Scythe S-Flex "F" that was on my CPU cooler because I wanted a quieter fan and I'm glad I picked this one. It's quieter, has more airflow, and can push more air through the fins of my heatsink than the S-Flex. It comes with fan controller with mounting tape which is a bonus. I stuck it on the outside of my P182 case for easy access, routing it through the existing fan controller hole.One thing I didn't like was the fan housing. It feels like cheap plastic. It's a shiny black plastic that feels brittle and very light. I guess I'm used to Scythe and Noctua type fans where their housing is heavy and feels sturdy.

Cons: colors may be not suitable for everyone (green/black). Buy it when it came on special...

Pros: Very silent even at top speed. Good quality (fan and packaging)
Comment:
I had to change a 120mm fan that has died on me (120mm Antec tricool) when i saw these one. I was impressed with the packaging (silicone holders, speed regulator and extension cables) wich reflecting the quality of the product. I was even more impressed when i turned it on, mostly quieter than the Antec. I don't know what they did but it's simply quieter.
