ARCTIC COOLING Arctic Fan 9 (AF9) 92mm Case Cooling Fan

Pros: Very Very Quiet

Cons: None really

Other Thoughts: If you want a quiet fan that will move a pretty standard amount of air, this is the way to go. Moves the same amount as my case's stock fans, with less than half the noise. Only works as an exhaust fan, just so everyone knows.

Pros: Quieter than previous fan works as I wanted and does as it's told

Cons: odd to think that the rubber mounts are NOT the same on all AC's fan's some are slightly larger pieces of rubber than others...

Other Thoughts: I used this fan to replace the fan in my Freezer 7, the thing runs at like 35+db (or .9 sone as they so kindly add, Google that... still too loud for me)
Tossed the mounting half of the frame and stuck it to the pro's original mounting frame, the rubber mounts stretch a bit but reach, its been over a month of non stop running and not only is it quieter, but it runs at near the same temp.
Unfortunately the Pro's fan doesn't fit this fan's mount so both useless halves are shelved... probably for life.

Pros: I bought this to mount on the side door exhaust port of my ATX case. I lay the case flat, so this fan was actually exhausting upwards. Very quiet, and considering the design and RPM, decent airflow.

Cons: After about 15 weeks, the rubber grommet-plug thingies that connect the fan assembly to the mounting bracket started to fail. Since the fan was essentially hanging upside down, it dropped into the CPU cooling fan, causing an awful racket. Fortunately, I caught this before permanent damage!

Other Thoughts: Nowhere in the listing for this fan does it imply that it will work suspended upside down, so I can't really complain that the connectors failed under the stress. Just thought others might want to know in case they had the same idea I did. I could have easily lost a CPU in my scenario.

Pros: built in vibration isolators, not the most quite fan but does not make an annoying amount of noise vs airflow.

Cons: Can not direct air into the case, only useful as an exhaust fan. This is due to the way the cage is designed.

Pros: Moves good air

Cons: Not VERY loud, but definitely not quiet

Other Thoughts: 92mm, and moves air - I guess I expected too much by hoping it was quiet, too. - Didn't want to deal with fan controllers.

Pros: SILENT, the only noise made is when something gets to close to the airflow.

Cons: The only con is that the fan is very thick, but that's obvious.

Other Thoughts: I don't know what's wrong with some people, the fan blows as much air as it claims and I find it more than adequate.

Pros: Silent, well built, built-in dampers

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I use this internally to move channel air more efficiently through the case. It's tighty suspended via zip-ties above my HDD's. It is surprisingly silent for as much air it moves...and moves some serious air.

Pros: This is a great product. The fan on my Thermaltake CPU cooler went bezerk, so I got this to replace it rather than getting an entire new cooler. Keeps processor a few degrees cooler (despite the Thermaltake fan claiming to have a higher airflow rating) and is quieter too; only noise comes from airflow, as there is no viberation or motor noise from the fan itself. Pushes decent amount of air for a 92mm fan.

Cons: Paid as much to ship the fan as I did for the fan itself...but Arctic Cooling makes GREAT fans and I can't get them locally.

Other Thoughts: The only case fans I use anymore are Arctic Cooling, Antec, Silverstone and AeroCool (I own 5 PC's, all custom built with aftermarket cooling)...never had issues with any. I've tried Thermaltake, Cooler Master, and Scythe too, but they either didn't perform to my liking or failed within an unacceptable amount of time.

Pros: Design

Cons: The box said it has a 2000 rpm, but when I connected it to my motherboard 3 pins header, the BIOS measure only 890 rpm.

Pros: Usually very quiet, keeps everything cool all of the time, buzz free, trouble free, used the sticker to cover the old Celeron sticker on PC. Would recommend to anyone who is looking to replace a dead fan.

Cons: still noisy when it ramps up to speed, did not solve problem (mine and not the fan's fault:))

Other Thoughts: Had an old Celeron rig that would get noisy all of the time and thought that a new fan would help. It did not. Putting a P4 2.8, however, was the magic ticket (lower wattage with higher temp allowance). Probably should have put the money toward a new build, but at least the old clunker will be tolerable for another while.
