5 out of 5 eggsGreat looking, quiet fans

Pros: Very Quiet
Move a lot of air
Look great in my blue/black themed case

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: Very underrated fan brand. I'm running two of them as top intake on my case. Look and sound great and reduced my CPU temps by a few degrees.

5 out of 5 eggs140mm

Pros: Works well & very quiet. I bought two of these far a push/pull set up for my Corsair 110 water cooler. There was not quite enough room to fit them in the case but I had plenty of room to set one in the back of my 5.25 bays. It fits perfect, & gives a little more air flow. Also out of sight so you can't see it. The blue fans match my color scheme. Great buy for the price.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Still have one fan in the box but I figured I might as well keep it as it was only 10 bucks. Back up. Not really worth it to return it. I new it was going to be a tight fit but I was hopping to get it in the case on top of the radiator. Needed 2 more mm's. OOPS!

5 out of 5 eggsExcellent fan, plus economic price!

Pros: Exactly as described, quiet, installed very easy, came with power cord adapter. Seems to be getting good airflow, zero problems so far.

Cons: Only had them a week, but honestly none so far.

Other Thoughts: These 140mm Fans were exactly what I needed, dropped into my Fractal R4, install took 5 minutes (30 seconds snap in the bracket on the front, 4 mins messing around with my PSU cables to facilitate screwing in the bottom mounted fan.

5 out of 5 eggsNice fans

Pros: -Nice Airflow
-Quiet
-No LEDs

Cons: -No LEDs?

Other Thoughts: I picked these up for 2 different rigs. The first rig was just a watercooling rig that I'm building, it's actually the server but I'm using it to experiment with my first watercooling build as well as quad fire. Fans work surprisingly well, especially well considering the previous review about static pressure. That of which I remedied with a push/pull configuration. These are actually keeping up with my Hyperborea fans that I'm using on the top mounted radiator and those have a static pressure of 2.5 vs the usual .8 to 1.1 I keep seeing. Radiators are the Swiftech MCR240-QP, which have a small fins-per-inch ratio for low speed fans. Can't say I'd recommend these for a high FPI ratio radiator as they don't have the static pressure. The 4 cards are all 7970s of various brands(I'm playing with settings and writing reviews as I go), all cards are running EK CSQ waterblocks, all water is being pushed by a single DDC pump with a XSPC pump top reservoir with a setup of 2 cards - rad - 2 cards - rad and stays @ 52c-56c with a core clock of 1200 - 1250 depending on the card. The other rig I put these in was for a media PC attached to a projector in a home theater. PC can't be heard despite the 2 7970s in that rig as well, @ 67c air cooled, OCd, and mining 24/7.

4 out of 5 eggsQuiet

Pros: Quiet at most speeds, decent airflow, good looks

Cons: Sleeve bearing

Other Thoughts: They're great fans, but I have to crank them down to ~80-90% to keep them dead quiet. They do the job though, move a good deal of air, and are quieter than most other comparable fans. Definitely worth the $10 I paid for them.

4 out of 5 eggsGood enough

Pros: Efficient, low power draw and fairly low noise.

Cons: Could move more air. i somehow doubt it's getting up to the rated CFM flow.

Other Thoughts: With a fan controller instead of just plugged into a molex or motherboard header this thing is dead quiet.

5 out of 5 eggsAwesome

Pros: These fans are great. I have two of them and they push a lot of air and quietly. With my fan controller and them set to 40% they are virtually silent and still push a good amount of air out.

Cons: screw hole on one of them were a little poor and one stripped a bit during installation but it's not too big a deal, just wish they were a bit better plastic but not bad enough to lose an egg because they still do their job and quietly.

3 out of 5 eggsA bit disappointed.

Pros: Quiet
Moves air

Cons: OK so I bought this product in hopes of replacing my cooler master 120mm sickle flow. The specs on this fan looks amazing. Claims to move a ton of air while maintaining a low noise on paper. However I tested this to the cm 120mm sickle flow and the cm one pushed a lot more air while both produced the same noise.
