" ...  No other fans comes close to performance and quiet of these at around $14. ... I use them in place of the crap fans that Arctic cooling or Cooler Master ships with the Freezer i32 and Hyper 212. ... Much quieter and much better cooling performance.  ...  "

" ...  I'm unable to tell how quiet the fan really is based on the other noises in the room.  ...  "

" ...  If you're a more aggressive overclocker and are generating more CPU temps you can always add one or two more to ensure adequate airflow.  ...  "

" ...  Good design and work flawlessly, but incredibly loud if connected directly to PSU.  ...  "
comment
" ...  They can be controlled well with their PWM 4 pin connector and provide great cooling and low noise either in lower RPM or higher RPM. ... I have seen complaints about these vibrating or causing noise issues when mounted horizontal, and I have three of these in push configuration on the top of my case and there have been no problems so far.  ...  "

" ...  Used them to replace my H100i V2 fans which sounded like jets at load.  ...  "

" ...  They come with the regular case screws, and the rubber tool-less "screw" or plug. ... While, the rubber plug does work better than I thought.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I also liked the orange rubber inserts near the corners to reduce vibrations.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Had these for a while, they're still going strong.  ...  "
comment
" ...  These are so thoughtfully engineered! ... The rubber pin mounting system is innovative and effective .  ...  "
comment
" ...  Bought two of those for my workstation build.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Nice and quiet, half the price of similar items, seems well constructed, and I live the rubberized feet on the mounting corners.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I've used all kinds of fans and this one is SUPER EASY to install with rubber tool-less notched bolts that stick right through the holes and because they are soft rubber, they deaden all vibration and sound. ... But for install in the case, you'll want to use the Cougar fan rubber mounting thingies, which are awesome.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Pretty quiet and definitely doesn't have the cheaper quality feeling to it.  ...  "
