Fractal Design Dynamic GP-12 Black case fan

Key Features
- Hydraulic bearings: cost-efficient compromise between a standard Sleeve bearing and a true FDB Bearing
- Counter-balancing magnet: reduces the axial tension on the bearing, further protecting the longevity of the bearing
- Optimized fan geometry: creating a good balance between static pressure and maximum airflow, resulting in good performance in all usage scenarios
- Aerodynamically shaped thin stator struts (including wire strut), mimicking the design commonly found on airplane wings: delivering correct angles allowing for air to easily pass through reducing noise and unwanted turbulence.
- Stator struts are angled perpendicular to the blades: reduces noise commonly emitted when the blades pass the struts; in effect, minimal noise that may be emitted will be constant and therefore almost inaudible
- Trip Wire technology: commonly found in airplane wing designs, offering a micro-turbulent layer that helps to combat the elements that negatively affect performance; The presence of the trip Wire overall provides a more efficient and quiet fan environment

Like all Fractal Design products I've used, this fan has been great. It's quiet, it cools really well, and it has lasted forever.

It is the same fan that came preinstalled in my case (Fractal Design Define R5) so when deciding which fans to add I just decided to stick with the same fans since they would match as I intended to use the included fans with the case.I have to say I like these fans. My case stays cool. Fans are very quiet (I have a fan running nearly constantly so my sensitivity to case noise may be less than other users - I use the R5's built in fan controller for the 2 intake and 1 exhaust fan and I have it turned to 100% nearly 100% of the time). I mainly bought them so they would match the other white fans and the white accents of the R5 case and they turned out to be very good fans.I will say I bought two of these things (with about a week in between purchases) and the seller had changed. The first time I received the fan new in the retail packaging including all the stuff that is included with the fan (screws, literature, etc.). The second fan I ordered came in a mailer wrapped in bubble wrap (securely) without the retail packaging nor the things included in the package. I needed the screws from the first one I bought to mount the second one. Wouldn't have minded not having the box if they wanted to stay green or whatever, but at least throw in those 4 little screws...All in all a good inexpensive fan that I do not regret buying two of.

This case fan matches the ones in my R5 Define case. It is quiet and produces good airflow. I did not have any trouble with installation.NOTE: If you are putting this in your R5 Define case in front you will need long screws which should have already come with your case (mine did). This fan only comes with short screws that most PC cases would use.

Great case fans for the price, purchased one to make a third in a fractal design case that included two. I am sure that there are better case fans on the market, but these are solid and quiet while moving air very sufficiently. Would definitely recommend to anyone who has purchased a FD case and is looking to use FD fans. I am personally not into the flashy LED products, so this fits my needs well, and the white fan looks good when in motion.
