" ... Like other comments has mentioned, these fans emit an audible noise while running at >20%. ... "
" ... Suddenly I found that there are many ducks making quacking sound around and you can guess what are they . ... They are also not making that noise all the time so maybe there are some harmonic resonances causing it. ... "
" ... After about a week this fan starts to get intermittently noisy. ... "
" ... 2nd one i had to return due to noisy vibrating rattle issues with varying fan RPMs. ... "
" ... By the end of the first day, one of the fans started making a terrible noise. ... After that, the noise went away, for a few minutes, then slowly started again. ... "
" ... THESE FANS ARE LOUD. ... Particularly at at start up, all three fans make a loud humming noise. ... "
" ... Tried one different radiators and in multiple cases has no effect only 2 of the fans seem to not making god awful noise ... "
" ... Very noisey, had to remove one due to excessive noise. ... "

" ... Had no problem getting all the fans to run at approximately the same speeds, as I know what I'm doing and can set different fan headers to the same settings, unlike some others in the reviews and comments for these fans. ... "
" ... i5 8600k 24gb mem ... "
" ... With all three running at full speed i don't get over 33db. ... "
" ... Their cpu coolers are some of the best. ... This is on a Gigabyte H270 board. ... "
" ... Works perfectly in my Thermaltake Core V2. ... "
" ... It has three speed settings, and the silent has moved more than enough air to keep my 3.8GHz i5 cool. ... "
" ... Good Fans for the price - fairly quiet, spin up fast. ... "
" ... It was my first time installing a rgb fan onto my pc and it works great ... "

" ... Pros: Very cool rgb effects. ... "
" ... Lots of airflow! ... "
" ... Helps cool my 9700k ... "
" ... These are great fans and I have them on a cooler master ml 240l in a pull confit and I get 70c on my ryzen 2700 @4.0ghz 1.35v. ... "
" ... This colorfully cools my rig. ... "
" ... It runs silent and fits my Cooler Master MasterCase SL600M perfectly. ... "
" ... I am a nerd of PC cooling and I do care the efficient cooling more than RBG lighting. ... "

" ... One fin broke off while mounted in case. ... "
" ... The fan blades hit the computer case and break off. ... "
" ... Maybe spacing the fan further away from the case with washers will help but that seems ridiculous to even have to do considering the price of these fans they should have at least came with the washers if they can't be flat mounted into a case without them. ... "
" ... I bought this fan to place it in the top side of a CM H500 case but there is no way the 4 holes in the fan fit with the 4 holes in the case, maximum 2 holes will fit, is this a big joke CM ?! ... "
" ... The rubbers in which the screws go make installation harder than a plastic based fan. ... "
" ... It is obvious that the fan is off-center and poorly made. ... "
" ... 2 of the six fans I purchased were .5mm too tall out of the box so when they spun up they’d scrape the case. ... "
" ... Even the screws are cheap on these. ... "

" ... I'm talking I can easily hear it rattle from two rooms away. ... "
" ... Top it off these things are super loud. ... "
" ... It is Too loud to work with for 10 hours a day, so hopefully my machine can do without a fan while I wait for a new fan to arrive. ... "
" ... Of the fans I received, 1 was insanely loud, another was loud, and the last seemed to be working as intended however, it doesn't change the fact that even the most quiet fan, was louder than the stock fans that came with my Phanteks case. ... "
" ... After two weeks its a constant drone loud enough to be heard at least across the room. ... "
" ... Now they're out of balance as well as loud ... "
" ... BUT -- they are loud. ... "
" ... The product is terrible, very loud fans, extremely difficult to set up. ... "

" ... Easy to install and wired to the same RGB controller that came with the case. ... "
" ... Works at intended, has bright lights and the hook up is very simple and easy to setup. ... "
" ... But they could have taken this and made it wayyy easier to setup and manage. ... "
" ... They look nice and were very easy to install and hookup. ... "
" ... Installing the fans into the case was very easy and plugging into the motherboard easy as well. ... "
" ... Didn't install in system yet, but plugged them in and they work great! ... "
" ... I'm glad I only paid $40 for the whole setup. ... "

" ... They sent extension wires with 6 pin connectors, and the plugs on the controller are 4 pin. ... "
" ... However when it comes to the reason I bought the fans for the RGB the controller connectors would not fit at ALL, I tried and tried for almost 2 hours just to get the connectors into the controller and they wouldn't fit no matter what I did. ... "
" ... The cables that go into 1 of the 4 RGB ports won’t fit. ... "
" ... Cable is not suitable 😑 Sorry I can not speak English to explain your problem ... "
" ... The cables do not fit into place. ... "
" ... My only problem is the cables that came with my rgb controller were not the right ones. ... "
" ... Incorrect amount of prongs for connector. ... "

" ... Jam protection doesn't work. ... The fan blades hit the computer case and break off. ... "
" ... The cables do not fit into place. ... "
" ... One fin broke off while mounted in case. ... "
" ... #1: The screws included are very cheaply made, have a tiny little PH2 notch that easily strips, and the "lip" on the edge of the screw doesn't really hold the fans well. ... I tried a loose fit, and a tight fit. ... the screws unscrew themselves over time because of the cheap rubber housing. ... "
" ... Even the screws are cheap on these. ... "
" ... The issue is that the mounting holes geometry in the case is different that the fan. ... That being said, the supplied screws that came with the fan slide right through the grommets in the case’s lid, so that isn’t a solution that works with a fan. ... "
" ... I ended up having to cut corners, literally, on the fan edge to remove 2 of the unused screw holes to make this fit on the top. ... "
" ... Will not fit the top of my coolermaster HAF912, case supports 200mm but this is bigger than a 200mm. ... "

" ... This will not automatically change colors or allow you to program. ... It just activates the RGB and lets you select some colors. ... "
" ... Color settings are very versatile ... "
" ... I do rather enjoy the option to change it's color at a moments notice. ... "
" ... Beautiful colors, fairly quiet. ... "
" ... As of now it just cycles through all the colors slowly which still looks nice. ... "
" ... Great colors, all of them working properly, they wobble a bit but is only noticeable if you stare at them closely, no vibration or problems at all. ... "
" ... The picture shows a full purple color, but the LEDs are not that bright, it only lights up the middle if fan bright, but it starts to fade away farther out. ... "
" ... I love the color functionality of the fans ... "

" ... Purchased this product in March and it ran silently for a few months. ... "
" ... Double fail by CookerMaster. ... "
" ... One fan out of my first box, and two out of my second box were just so noisy that I can't use them without getting a headache. ... "
" ... I returned one fan and the replacement immediately started a high-pitched whining/squeaking. ... "
" ... I had to return mine as the blue LED failed after just 1 day. ... "
" ... I’ll revise as I get to use the fan at a later date. ... "

" ... Unstable connection that goes in and out. ... "
" ... Do not buy these if you actually want to cool your PC. ... "
" ... Claims compatibility with aura sync but has to be on motherboard connectors to do it. ... "
" ... These are by far the worst fans I have seen for a PC. ... "

If your using the 4 pin LED to your motherboard for AURA I would recommend a RGB hub or splitter so you can actually reach the RGB pin on your motherboard. ... "
" ... Great molex connection. ... "
" ... I have an original HAF X, with the pass-through usb 3.0 because usb 3.0 headers weren't finalized yet. ... "
