Cons:
Short cable.
Pros: Pushes a lot of airGood quality feel Comment:
Bought this fan to fill out the spots in my Antec 300. Used it for the back exhaust fan and it's working great. It's not too loud and pushes alot of air. The construction is also solid, and feels high quality for the price. Be careful not to strip the screws, I find all these types of screws are prone to it. Other than that a great product. I find that the cables was a bit short, a 30cm one would have been nice. I think you can use the adapter it comes with to extend it but don't quote me on it. Would buy again for sure. |

Cons:
-might be a tad loud to some.
Pros: -reasonably priced-works well Comment:
No issues. Works as intended. Used two of these in push/pull configuration on a hyper 212 hsf cooling an oc'ed e8400. No whine whatsoever. It's a little loud for my taste but it's to be expected. |

Cons:
loud at max speed
Pros: High air flow Comment:
Great fans, push lots of air, they are quite loud at max RPM but are working well at a lower speed and still pushing a good amount of air. |

Cons:
none
Pros: Good flow, low noise Comment:
Bought this to go with me Venomous X cooler and is working great. Cools a i5 760 4.2GHz OC to 70 deg C on prime95, about par with all the reviews of people using higher flow fans. Very happy with performance and noise. |

Pros: good static pressure and CFM (good for radiators) Comment:
I bought a pair of these for push/pull on a Corsair H50 cooler pointing out of the case. At full out these do make some sound, which is why I also bought a fan controller to dial them back a bit. They do very well to cool in this configuration, I was able to do a very good overclock. They also scale well, I haven't had any stuttering or noise at certain voltages. I'm not sure if their 35 dbA rating is great since I have no others to compare to but they are what I expected for a fan of this size and speed. They'd probably also be a lot quieter as a case fan in open-air rather than pushing up against a rad. |

Cons:
Somewhat loud
Pros: High qualityLongevityGood airflow Comment:
If you don't mind noise then this fan is one of the better 120x25mm fans you can purchase. It's a little on the loud side at full speed but, the air it pushes is very good and static pressure is not too shabby at all either.The S-FLEX series also uses nice fluid dynamic bearing which will increase its lifespan by a fair bit.It's a fantastic little fan that should definitely be considered for your hardcore cooling needs. Just be aware that, it can get a little loud but not obnoxiously so. |

Cons:
- Loud, but that is to be expected from a high RPM fan.
Pros: - Good cooling performance. Comment:
I got this for use with my Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus heatsink. The cooling performance was good, I had about a 5 degree drop in load temperatures as compared to the stock cooler fan.It is a bit loud and can be heard over the stock cooling on CM 690 II Advanced case, but I do not consider that a downside for this fan. If you buy a high RPM fan like this one, noise is to be expected. |

Cons:
not much static pressure, loud as hell even when undervolted
Pros: long life, spins Comment:
I read all the reviews and bought the fan and wow was I disappointed. This thing is LOUD and emits a very unpleasant whine. Hopefully I had a fan controller and I can undervolt it, but even at 8-10V its still very annoying. I have to put it below 7V to make it reasonable, and at that voltage I have to cick start the fan then lower it afterwards because it doesnt start. for comparison sake, I have 120m panaflo L that push 68.9 CFM at 1700RPM and the are SIGNIFICANTLY quieter even at full speed.Its not as bad as cheap ass sleeve bearing fans, but these are nowhere near the quality of Panaflos. |

Cons: None so far.
Pros: Moves a lot of air, reasonably quiet. Comment:
I just got a couple of these to use in a push/pull config on my TRUE CPU cooler, to replace the stock ThermalRight fan, and another model of Scythe(Kaze Jyuni) that I previously had installed. I did this to see if the higher CFM rating would cool the CPU core temps. a bit, so I could crank up the overclock a bit more, and it would seem that these fans did the trick, because they've dropped the core temps. by 2-3 degrees per core. When I first installed these fans, and booted up, I stuck my hand behind the TRUE, and these fans definitely move a noticeably larger amount of air than the previous fans.Good things about this fan:- moves a lot of air.- reasonably quiet, in spite of the higher decibel rating, i.e. the noise coming from inside my computer isn't perceptibly louder than it was before.- no doubt due to the fluid dynamic bearing, this item has a much higher rated(compared to many/most other fans without this type of bearing) lifespan, although, obviously, at this point in time it's yet to be seen. |

Cons: - Nothing yet
Pros: - Awesome Airflow- Low Noise Comment:
Used them to change the stock fan in the Kama Bay, I'm waiting on the Kaze Master Ace to be able to lower the speed of this fan. Love Scythe cooling. If I didn't already have 4 noctua's P12s I'd get more of theses. |

Cons: none.
Pros: Good quality construction; Good RPM; Good CFM; Great Company! Comment:
This pulls air through my TRUE-120 Black. Alone, it cools my Q9550 to low 30s&40s at various load conditions. Very happy with Scythe products. I've bought perhaps a dozen of their fans, and I'm continually impressed. A good buy! |

Cons: Not quiet
Pros: Great air flow Comment:
This fan indeed offers a lot of air flow, much better than its 1600RPM brother does, but of course the improvement in air flow comes with more noticeable noise (tho I won't use the word "loud"). |

Cons: none!
Pros: Phenomenal performance, quiet, great static pressure, long life Comment:
This is easily the best fan I've ever used in my 10+ years of computer building. I have them mounting in a pull config on my BIX480GT radiator and you still can't hear them even with all that resistance behind them. They also undervolt great at 7V and are practically inaudible. But if you need the juice, crank it up to 12V and have the best CFM/dBA ratio out there. |

Pros: Very quietLots of air flow Comment:
I bought this fan to replace my 1600RPM S-FLEX intake fan, it provides a nice improvement in air flow, and I really can't hear much (if any) difference in noise level. I will definitely buy more of these in the future. |
Works. End of story. Fan does exactly what it is advertised to do at a quiet pace.
