These are amazing. Even at top speed, they are very low noise, they install as fast as you are with a screwdriver (faster if you use the noise dampening connectors), they are super high quality, and the gasket works perfectly. My cpu is a liquid cooled and I have 2 of these in a push-pull configuration on the radiator and now the cpu temperature maxes out with a max load and max overclocking ten degrees C lower and the temperature overall is lower and drops much faster than with the previous fans that were actually pretty good. Airflow through the radiator is amazing. These fans and the 4 pin pwm version of the same physical configuration are the best I have ever seen in decades of working with computers when it comes to radiators and air cooling heatsinks. I have already ordered more for use in other systems and to blow air out of the tower itself (my system doesn't have a powered intake for some reason, but I would use these for that too, if I could). I actually like the colors and look of these, I know that the general opinion is that they look ugly, but they look pretty good to me in my system. There are tons of ways to attach them both physically and electrically. So you can connect them directly to the motherboard or pci card via 3 pin connector or directly to the power supply. So you can actually use as many as you want, creating new intakes and outputs in the case and/or for duct channels as the power supply connection can be chained with as many fans as you can power. They do cost more than usual, but they are absolutely worth it. They will last forever. I have had very good fans in the past and they have never had the six year warranty that these have. They also do not have the travel between the rotor and the stator base that other fans have, which is a good indicator of the longevity of almost any device. And the cable attachments to lower the top speed of these fans are nice to have, but these fans are so quiet that I can have them permanently running at top speed without any problems. I have both light and sound sensitivities and these fans aren't a problem for that at all. I also have chronic migraines and I can leave my computer running during them because they are so quiet. I really can't say enough about how much I love these things

I installed 3 fans. Plenty of information. Very easy to install. Unbelievable, how quiet they are. Supposed to keep the towers internals cool. So far so good! Pricey

I don’t have a gaming pc but a little desktop, and it only has 1 fan. It kept getting incredibly hot with the original fan. I installed this one and it’s been a world of difference. Not only much quieter but also a lot cooler! Never hitting above 60 CAwesome product! I love it!!
