Cons: it`s louder then i expected, so i had to connect it to a fan controller so it didn`t run at 100%
Pros: nice looking, pushes a fair amount of air for the amount of noise and it`s inexpensive. |

Excellent fan. Quiet and dependable. Could not get the silicone mounts to work, but they were not needed. It is that quiet even when the system pushes it up to 2200 rpms. |

As advertised, the fan blows an amazing amount of air for the noise it makes. I only wish I had known how much air I needed. One can hear 14dB and I dodn't need nearly the amount of air this blows. This fan keeps the graphics card's fan from coming on most of the time, so it makes a discernable difference. Now, how do they offer this for such a low price? |

Cons: noise
Pros: high airflow Comment:
I was extemely disappointed in this fan. The 14 dba rating is not even remotely close.Just plugged in and not installed, this fan has a fairly high steady hum that is a bit annoying but tolerable. However...Installed as an intake fan, it becomes very loud due attempting to draw the air through the metal mesh. As an exhaust fan, its a bit better. Best choice would be as a CPU fan. However, its still noisy due backpressure from trying to force the air through. I tried this in all positions in a new build, took it out and tossed it in my parts box.The best choice for this fan would be on a speed control so as to throttle it (and the noise) back a bit.It works and moves a lot of air but the noise is too much. |

Works as stated with no problems installing. I would recommend to anyone wanting more air flow in their unit. |

The fan works well and is quiet. I replace an 80mm case fan in an older system. This one seems to be keeping things much cooler and is quieter. |

Cons: -Smell like burning plastic
Pros: -Blow lots of air-Quiet-3 or 4 pin connection Comment:
Very good quality fan. Super quiet and high power for their size, although they smell like burning lol. Not sure if this is because they are FDB bearings since these are my first FDB fans but they really stink. |

Cons: *Expensive
Pros: *Very quiet*Moves a lot of air*Good quality Comment:
I have had this fan for a while now and even though I was skeptical of it at first, I feel that it has surpassed my expectations. I was looking to replace the stock Dell fan that came with my machine with something less noisy, this really did the trick. My case is both cooler and much more quiet after the instal. I guess if I had to point out a flaw, I would say that it is so quiet that I can now here my annoying PSU and HDD's (my previous fan muffled those nicely); I guess that isn't really something you can fault the fan with though :) |

Cons: High price
Pros: Quite and does a decent job cooling. Very attractive design. And comes with silent rubber like screws. Comment:
I like this fan. Price is high but maybe you pay for what you get.I have been cooling my AMD 64 3200+ with a XP-90 and silentcat fan. After about 6 months the fan started to wobble. So I replaced silentcat (2500RPM 31.77CFM 21DBA) with the Silenx Ixtrema Pro(1700RPM 38CFM 14DBA). I get way better cooling and lower noise.I would buy this fan again for my CPU. |
its great replacement fan for anyone with a 92mm heat sink and that want something that's quieter.
