Looks good, albeit loud.
- Pros: Looks unique, has not shown so far the bearing problems that other reviewers have spoken of, quiet as long as you have a way to slow it down.
- Cons: Too loud running at normal speed and may not be particularly durable from what some other buyers have said.
- Other Thoughts: I first hooked this to my motherboard using the 3-pin plug but it was far too loud for my liking that way. Fortunately, this comes with a 3-pin to Molex adapter. I rigged the adapter so the fan`s black wire goes to red on the PSU`s Molex plug, as well as the fan`s red wire to the PSU`s yellow on the same Molex plug. This supposedly gives the fan 7 volts, thus slowing it down considerably (the downside is that it also dims the LEDs somewhat). I had it rigged to get only 5 volts, but the fan is then too dim and too slow. I must say that I really like the looks of the white LEDs combined with the orange fan blades. I have some green LED fans and Xigmatek`s 120mm in the same case, and it looks hella sick.
0 for 2....
- Pros: Cheap?
- Cons: You get what you pay for. Bought two of these for my desktop build (and I only needed one), but both of them had bad bearings. Ended up having to use the stock 140mm fan that came with my case, until I found something locally that was much nicer.
- Other Thoughts: Bought a total of seven Xigmatek fans for my desktop build (a few were spares). Two of them do not work at all, four of them are abnormally loud and something is clearly wrong with the motors, and the last one has a high pitch whine to it. Stay away from this company!
Hot look, cool case
- Pros: -They look awesome
-They're quiet
-They keep my case cool
-They look awesome
- Cons: none.
- Other Thoughts: I wish the product photos included one of this fan in action- it really does look sweet- especially in my black case. I've got a relatively plain, low-end gaming case and these fans give it a really unique look- like it's filled with liquid hot magma.
