Rosewill RFA-80-BL 80mm 4 Blue LED Case Fan

This fan is very fast and blows A LOT and I mean A LOT of air out. I don't think this fan makes a whole lot of noise, but I really can't tell with the sound of my loud heat sink fan. The colors look very nice, exactly the same way you see it in the picture.If you're not using the screws that came with the fan you might have a bit of trouble getting them in. I suggest making a pilot hole with the screw in order to create some threads prior to putting the fan in the case and attempting to screw them into the fan then.Overall the fan is very very high quality and the LEDs are very bright.

So far so good! I bought this fan a week ago to help cool my system, especially the GPU, which was getting exceedingly hot after recent upgrades I'd performed on the system. Now the system is purring like a kitten. The blue light is a little bright but certainly not cornea-burning as some have suggested. If your PC is in your bedroom, then this makes for a great nightlight. The small amount of white noise emanating from it is barely noticeable and somewhat soothing. Installation took a Phillips-head screwdriver and less than 5 minutes to complete.The one fact I overlooked when purchasing this fan is that it has just 3 pins instead of 4. This simply means that while my system monitoring software can detect the fan and its speed, it cannot manipulate the speed automatically. This isn't a big deal for me, but I thought it was important to point out.

Is got the 80mm blue LED, and it is brighter than I expected. Which isn't really a problem.Airflow with this guy is great, and my PC is very cool.My only grip is that it's a bit louder than I'd like. So that might be a issue if you have your computer close to you on a desk, instead of on the floor. I used it in an HTPC and find myself turning up the TV volume a little more to get over the fan noise. In retrospect, I would have gone with a Noctua NF-A8 FLX, if I knew it was as loud as it is.All in all I recommend it, it does a great job moving air, which really is the point of the fan, right?

WOW, now I have enough volume and clarity for my headphone sets. Gaming and music soundgreat and I find the software a great plus. This is an excellent kit.
