Cryorig QF120 Performance 120mm PWM Fan 600-2200RPM

These are some powerful fans, I ordered 3 as intakes as they had the highest cfm In this price range I could find. I like them but one of the 3 is jet engine loud on full speed but it may be because it's ot fully mounted, only by the bottom 2 screws. The other 2 have no issues, 2 are intake and I added one to a push pull setup for my cpu. These are some powerful fans and the price to performance appears unmatched, the trade off is noise though, I cant run them at full speed or I can hear it through my headphones. Bought these because I heard good things about the cpu coolers but these are loud! I knew the risk getting the most powerful fans I could get, just be aware.EditHad an issue with coil whine in 1 fan, I was able to send cryorig a recording of the issue and they offered to replace it with their amazing warranty! These fans are the best you can get for the price, they're durable sturdy and they can really push some air. Cryorig backs their products and I am now dedicated customer. If I need more cooling I know what brand I'm getting! I'm about to get two more for a total of 6 for my rig. They're that good!

Cryorig has this weird habit not shared by many other PC component firms: they don't build crap. I keep going back to the well as a result, and I'm never disappointed.The selection this time is the QF120 fan, Performance Edition. Rated for 83 CFM and 3.33m3h of static pressure, it moves every ounce of it. Want to upgrade the fan on your 120mm heatsink? They don't get much more powerful than this. Need to push more air through your liquid cooler's radiator? This isn't as optimized for that as, say, the Noctua NF-F12 is, but what it lacks in optimization it makes up for in brute force, shoving tons of air through at very high speed and keeping your CPU nice and cool. For reference, with two of these on an Enermax radiator, I was able to hold 67C on Prime95 v28.9 using an i7-4790K.That performance comes with a price, though. the QF120 Quiet Edition is almost inaudible. The 1600 RPM QF120 Balance is quiet until you crank up towards the maximum speed. This fan? This puppy is 2200 RPM of LOUD at high RPMs, to the point that if your computer is sitting on your desk a foot from your head, I wouldn't really recommend it. It can be extremely distracting at high speed. If you can tolerate the noise, you'll get great performance of of a smaller 120mm fan.For reference, I own a Cryorig H7, a C7, an H5 Ultimate and two extra QF120 fans. To say that I'm a believer would be an understatement. Cryorig simply builds some of the best case and CPU cooling solutions out there today, and they do it at prices very competitive with the Noctuas, beQuiets and Phanteks that they frequently find themselves in competition with. Give this fan a try if it fits your needs. You won't be disappointed.

I like the fan. It puts out a very cold stream of air which is great. I was surprised at the noise level, it was not as loud as I thought. I wish at the price point there were lights incorporated into the fans design.

Easy to install. Worked flawlessly on my old computer's fans. They sounded like turbines, but these sound like standard, mild fans. They can be a little bit "loud" when on full throttle, but that's to be expected from a fan mean to cool down your whole computer as well as my CPU heat sink. Very happy with how easy the installation was, and how well made and professional everything seemed to look and feel. Would definitely recommend to a friend when building their computer. Cryorig struck gold with this baby!
