4 out of 5 eggsNot Bad...

Pros: Bought 2 of these fans to replace the included 120mm fans that came with the Corsair H80 cooler. They do what their supposed to...move air - and they are relatively quiet. Plus the white fan blades match the other 2 intake fans on my Fractal Node 304 mITX case : )

Cons: Would be nice if the fan connector cables were a nice braided black or something similar

Other Thoughts: They do their job.

5 out of 5 eggsGood Fan!!!

Pros: It moves a good amount of air and is rather quiet. Finally a fan that does what it claims!

Cons: None other than the white color.

Other Thoughts: This fan is not completely quite, there is the sound of air moving and some electric humm but its the best out of all the 120mm fans I have tried. The air pattern is very wide and it seems to move a lot of air for the amount of noise made. With a good fan controller I don't think you could do better than this fan.

5 out of 5 eggs

Pros: Operates exactly as it should.
We're talking about a 120mm case fan here...

Cons: Could be quieter, and free.

Other Thoughts: Works well with my case/motherboard color scheme.

5 out of 5 eggsQuiet and Moves Air

Pros: It appears to move the rated CFM.
It's quiet; all I hear is air moving.
I tested it first just sitting on a DVD case and it was near silent. I installed it as a rear exhaust fan. I can only hear it moving air through the rear grill.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: I purchased this after trying out the 80mm version of this fan. As an intake or exhaust the 80mm works well too.
I had the 80mm as the push in a push-pull on a CPU HS and there was a noticeable whine. I switched it to the pull side and the whine went away.

5 out of 5 eggsCool fans, would buy again

Pros: Quiet
Push a good amount of air
They look great (Especially with interior lighting)
Pins easy to reinsert in connector (I removed them to sleeve them, and in other fans, they sometimes don't grab on well after having been removed)

Cons: Brings 4 screws instead of 8

Other Thoughts: I bought two of these as exhaust fans for my case. THey look amazing with purple (non-UV) cold cathodes, as the white blades glow whatever color the inside is (Compared to black fans). Came in standard packaging. Fan was inside a cardboard box with a bag of 4 screws.

Buying another for the side

1 out of 5 eggsAlso broken. Is this a pattern?

Pros: * I liked the specs.

Cons: * The entire blade assembly was broken away from the motor, leaving only a tiny piece of plastic on the motor. Methinks this may be a weak point in the design.
* Packaged tightly with screws tossed anywhere in the packaging. Bounced around in shipping, they could damage the blades.

Other Thoughts: I rarely receive bad products. This was one of them. [sigh]

RMAed. Since the other AC fan I bought (a 92mm PWM )also failed to live up to the specs, I RMAed it as well. And I think I'll stick with Gelid fans from now on, since none of them have ever given me any trouble.

1 out of 5 eggsPoor Quality

Pros: None

Cons: Ordered one and fan blades were broken away from housing. Newegg sent a replacement but it was also broken the same way. Ended up with refund

Other Thoughts: The other two 120mm artic pwm fans i ordered work great and are super quiet but apparently the non-pwm fans have some production issues.
