Cons: Poor reliability.
Pros: Inexpensive. Comment:
For the price, I believe these are simple sleeve bearings... which should be fine for a few years, but I've through 2 already in 2 years. It looks like the bearings are not sealed very well, as the fans are just seizing up over time rather than wearing out naturally.I would rate it 2 stars, but then I would have to find my old order IDs due to NCIX's silly restriction on 1 and 2 star reviews. |

Cons:
Uses the sys fan pins for power and does not come with the molex adapter shown in pics. Also it's somewhat difficult to keep the power cords out of the fan blades in my vertical setup.
Pros: Not too loud for significant bonus effectiveness Comment:
Reduced temps by around 10c compared to passive.They obviously added slight noise compared to passive but the benefit was enough to justify it. I just turn the fan off when I'm not gaming and it passively cools fine. |

Cons:
- A bit pricey for limited functionality
Pros: - Easy to install- Fair noise output Comment:
Importance notice: This fan does not ship with a molex converter anymore.Will not block a single crossfire bridge but I belive would impeded more than 2 card setups. |

Cons:
produces a whine
Pros: it works as expected Comment:
I purchased this as an attachment to the accelero s1 rev2 for my 8800gt. It is a bit louder than I had hoped for, but I feel that I needed something to blow extra air over the mem chips. In hindsight, perhaps I should have just strapped on a 120mm fan instead; it may have been quieter. |

Pros: Simple design.Easily attaches to the cooler. Comment:
Super quiet little fan setup for the Arctic S1 and S2 coolers.Provides great cooling while remaining virtually silent inside my case. |

Cons: none
Pros: Quiet, work well, and the price! Comment:
Great little addon for my 9800gtx+ for the summer. Strait forward instalation. The only recomandation i can do is: beware of those cables, if not set properly it can jam in the fan, and you'll not get the active cooling expected... :P |

Cons: Kind of noisy when there are no fans in the case. Did not seem to push out a whole lot of air. Sometimes the power cord catches the fan.
Pros: Keeps the Accelero heat sink cool. Very light. Comment:
Needed some fans to cool down the graphics card and accelero heat sink. Rather than attaching a 120mm fan to the accelero because it was too much weight, I went with these light weighted fans. They were pretty nice, and did not made much temperature difference between using a 120mm fan. |

Cons: Clip-on mechanism is tricky to push in all the way, and the fans tend to interfere with the cable.
Pros: Good fan when it works. Comment:
This is a decent fan, but I've already had one fan crap out on me after under a year (I ordered a second one) and neither NCIX nor Arctic Cooling wants to give me an RMA. |

Cons: None that I find
Pros: Cheap, works well, does what its intended for, not too noisy Comment:
Good thing to boost your airflow on your video card if you had the heatsink and dont want to be passive. |

Cons: fins exposed, doesn't push as much air compared to a 12mm fan
Pros: Quiet, small profile, does the job Comment:
i slap this baby on my accelero s2 rev2 on my 4850. Cooled it down up 10 degrees. Amazing cooler and small profile so it won't take up another slot from your computer This review was modfied by poster @ 09-25-08 06:47 AM |

Cons: No shrouding of fan blades so cable placement is importantPretty much becomes a 3 slot deal including heatsink
Pros: Great compliment to the Accelero coolerWhisper quiet Comment:
Used on 8800GT and HD 3850 cards, temperatures pretty much lower than the systems overclocked CPUs! Fairly simple install (may have to work around the coolers support clips). Complete deal if they had come with a power plug to go right in the cards socket. |

Cons: None
Pros: Easy installCannot hear it. Comment:
I paired these with the Accelero S2. I can't believe the cooling I'm getting out of the pair. From the stock cooler, at max load on my video cards GPU - 90 degrees celcius. New S2 + these fans, down to 50 degrees celcius. Thumbs up. Highly recommended. |

Cons: -Whiney noise
Pros: -Cheap-Performs Well Comment:
These modules combined with the S1 Cooler gives amazing performance. My cards idle at 47 degrees and never go past 60 degrees on load even when overclocked.My only problem is the high-pitched whiney sound they make. |

Cons: small compared to the accelero
Pros: silent, cheap Comment:
I'm glad I got these as they can run very silently. At full voltage they are still very silent. I didn't made any test, but usually any fanless device will get huge benifit from the smallest air flow. So unless the case airflow does a really good job, these are useful. Of coures you can also tie a regular fan on top of the accelero. I would have liked these to be bigger, so that all RAMS and voltage regulators get some good airflow. |

Cons: no protective covering, fan jammed when it caught a wire
Pros: quiet, a must for any S1cheap add-on Comment:
This is simply a must have for S1. It combined result with the S1 on my 8800GT is about a 15-20C drop over the stock cooler. It just that make sure you tugged all wire away because the fan can be easily jammed if it caught a wire. |

Cons: Flimsy
Pros: QuietImproves cooling by around 10 degrees Comment:
Great addition, except the wires are rather flimsy. They snapped on my maybe a week after I got this, had to solder them back on. |

Cons: power cable could be longer
Pros: cheapquietsmall Comment:
An excellent, inexpensive addon for the Accelero. Improved my temps by around 10C on load. 3pin power cable was kinda short though. I had to use an extension to reach my mobo header. |

Rating: Review Date: 05/21/08 |
Cons: - Not included with the Cooler- Power cord was not long enough to reach my fan controller
Pros: - Quiet- Effective Comment:
Pared with the cooler I was able to get much lower temps (see my Accelero review), very pleased with my purchase. |

Pros: quietenhances accelero Comment:
I bought this with accelero S1. And this really complements it. Even if there are two fans, it is really, really quiet. Great investment for my 8800GT! |

Cons: None
Pros: Good boost in cooling, also blows air across the ramsinks and whe entire card. Comment:
For 10 bucks, it was a good upgrade for my S1 and 8800GT.With the S1 and Turbo Kit IMO I truly believe there isn't a Video Card (single GPU) at all that cannot be completely subdued temperature wise by the S1 with the Turbo Kit (regardless of custom overclocking).Also they aren't noisy enough to even complain about. Good Product all around. |

Cons: Fragile
Pros: Easy to installNice addition to an awesome coolerReally cheap Comment:
I bought this as an addition to my Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 (which is an AWESOME cooler). They are very easy to install, however I managed to break the wire between the 2 fans (very fragile). Since they are so cheap I'll probably just buy another set next time I order something. In the meantime I still have 1 out of 2 fans running on my 8800GT and it's running 40C cooler than before under load. Great buy ! |

Cons: Seem a little small for the size of the Accelero.
Pros: Good price, cools well, easy to install. Comment:
For some reason these took a week longer to arrive than the rest of the order. Good deal on this but if you have a spare 120mm fan i'm sure it woul be just as good as these or better. This review was modfied by poster @ 03-15-08 09:59 PM |

Pros: LightweightQuietEasy install CostArctic Cooling quality Comment:
Got these on sale when I ordered my AcceleroS2. The Accelero is really amazing in itself, but when these fans are installed they really boost cooling to high levels. Well worth the low cost |

Cons: needs to plug into motherboard fan connector
Pros: fairly good qualityvery quiet Comment:
Put these on an accelero S1 on a 8800GT. Idle temps with it on are 37C and 47C with the fans off. My case has decent airflow so these are probably not nessecary for me. As mentioned they take up yet even more room on an already huge cooler, though I likely won't need access to the covered slots anyway. I have had my knuckles rapped by these a few times now when reaching into the case as the have no guard on them, easy to forget they are under there since they are so quiet and out of sight. |
easy to install and a good upgrade to your s1 cooler
