APEVIA 512L-CBL 120mm Silent Dual Rings Blue LED Fan with 32 x LEDs & 8 x Anti-Vibration Rubber Pads (5 Pk)

These fans are a fantastic deal when you consider you are getting 5 fans at this price point.I cannot say how they are after extended use as I have only just installed 2 in my computer within the past day.I have 3 fans in my computer case. One had recently started making noise again. Rather than oil it as I have done in the past when this happened I decided to replace it.I really only needed one fan but, when you add shipping to the lower priced fans that are sold individually the price is a bit too high. And, the average price of budget fans seems to be around 8 dollars for one. That is why this is such a great deal! Five fans at 8 bucks each come to $40 bucks and that is before shipping is added.I got free shipping on these making the deal even better.The lights are far brighter than I expected. I did check out the photos in other reviews but, I must say none of the photos accurately represent just how vivid the color is and how bright the light is.After seeing how the lights looked when I swapped out the noisy fan I decided to swap out the fan in the front of my case even though that one was still working fine. I thought it would look night having more visible light coming through the front of my case (the original fans are the kind with a couple of blue LED's in the center the light pattern is different with these new ones but far more visible through the structure of the case.I did not replace the 3 case fan as the last one is in the back and I really don't see that under normal circumstances.So, I have 3 spare fans in case I need them.Yes, there are better fans on the market but you will pay far more for them.These look great and work as expected.I opted for blue as that is the color of the LED's in my original fans (I had no choice of color when I built my computer, I just bought the least expensive fans they had). Over the years I grew accustomed to that color. However, if the green and red are as vivid in person as these blue ones I think either of those would have been a great color choice too (though that is just an opinion of aesthetics).They are quiet but far from silent.If I have one criticism of these fans it would be the rubber anti-vibration pads. Given that they are part of the structure it is not as if you can test how well they work by using the fans without them compared to with them. Also, the anti-vibration pads are not especially thick so, once you tighten the screws you will tend to compress them enough where I think it is doubtful they have any actual effect when it comes to canceling vibration. A couple of rubber washers could accomplish the same thing in my opinion. Though it would be harder to get washers in place while installing a fan. So, being an actual part of the fan design is good in that aspect.To sum up, if you are in need of some fans these are a very good choice. they are decent fans at an excellent price.

When I was building my pc on parts picker I was struggling to find decent prices plain white LED fans and after looking thru all that was available I seen these for $27 for a set of 5...say less, they were at my front door the next day.Great fan for the money, there not loud at all (although I'm not a noise snob when comes to pc fans) and the white LED is a pretty crisp white. They go well with any white build...led on or off.

The Good: Fans are quiet, very well lit, and offer a few choices as to how their hooked up.The Bad: The fan hook ups are all hard wired, so you'll have molex and SATA plugins just kind of hanging there. You could trim off and seal off whichever one you don't need, but I would've liked the option to do either or at my discretion. (this is a neutral item)The Unfortunate: I ordered the 5 pack of these fans for my set up, and they came very well packaged together and all seemed to be in order. Unfortunately, once I got them all hooked up and in my new case and set up... I immediately noticed while 4 of the fans were quiet, one was humming. Now, they come with rubber insulators on their edges so there's no vibration from the fans against the case (which helps keep them quiet), but one of the fans was actually a bit noisy and I could easily single it out. I thought, no biggie, it's working, maybe that's just how that one will sound. About two weeks later now, this one fan suddenly stopped working. I honestly was not too surprised, but I haven't had it that long which is a bit of a bummer. The other 4 of them are going strong and have no issues. (This is why I subtracted one star).I've already ordered another set, but this time I'm going with the blue ones and will mix them with the orange and have a kind of portal theme going. Overall these fans are great and I highly recommend them. I have all of my fans hooked up to direct power so they run at full speed and the noise is very quiet. (I could probably hook them up into controlled ports and make them even quieter by slowing them down, but this wasn't really an issue and my PC runs between 20-40 at full load.

These fans are excellent and I would buy them again many times. They come with rubberized corners and cause little vibration and noise. The fan screws are excellent and screw in snugly to the fan holes. They seem to push a lot of air and have kept my system cool under heavy load.I'm using one fan as the CPU Heatsink fanOne as a front intake fanOne as an exhaust fanand 2 as side panel fans.All of these fans are hooked up to a fan controller, but even with all 5 fans at MAX speed they are extremely silent and they look amazing. I am very satisfied and impressed.I will upload photos later
