Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

While i love flash as much as the next guy, theres something to be said for the simplicity that these fans provide. Will be sticking with the brand in the future. The simple color design actually makes everything look better compared to cheap led fans... Read More

Silent sound is noticeable at maximum speed, but it's not unpleasant. On the noise is such a subjective thing, but to me these definitely drone at 1200 rpm.

Noctua is not only quieter but my average resting cpu temp is 2 degrees cooler. Under load, it goes up to between 3 and 4 degrees.

Quiet, powerfull, at a really reachable price. Has lasted me almost a year now! I have a sleeper build that i utilized both this fan add as well as it's big brother.

Cons

All of them have an ambient humming and moaning kind of noise. Obviously it barely moves air now so rather pointless.

Page and i advise potential buyers to do their own research because ive read some very illinformed amazon reviews about this product

Price

Price is awful and if i had to go by price alone it would get a 1 or 0 star but otherwise it is a good product

Packaging/appearance

Powerspec had the fan connected to the motherboard pump sio connector so i plugged in the noctua in the same place

Fortunately cable on the noctua fan was long enough to reach the unused fan2 connector at the other end of the motherboard

The fan also brought the nvme temp from 40 to 34 c

Competitiveness

Im pleased with this fan although as a noctua fan myself i had some spare low speed adapter left over from a previous fan and u... Read More

Ive used noctua cpu cooling in the past and really liked it

Fan replaced a failed fan in a drobo 5d storage unit
