COUGAR CF-V12HP Vortex Hydro-Dynamic-Bearing (Fluid) 300,000 Hours 12CM Silent Cooling Fan with Pulse Width Modulation

Pros: -Amazing air flow
-Amazing air pressure
-Very low noise level for the amount of air flow

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I would recommend these fans to anyone needing good case cooling. Even though its a bit more expensive then other fans its well worth the price.

Pros: Silent! The fans rubber padding where you screw the plastic to the case is great. Runs slow and pushes air like they claim.
No difference if mounted vertically or horizontal.

Cons: none, just waiting for the 300,000 hour life is true :) may be a while

Pros: -These move a ton of air for the noise level
-Great design (built in rubber pads, grooved blades, vortex bits)
-long sleeved cable
-PWM
-Comes with molex adapter for full speed operation
-Rubber mounting pins as well as regular screws
-Awesome color with a black case

Cons: -A little pricey, but after using some of the Cooler Master 120's from the 4 pack you can buy, then trying these, there's no comparison, so you get what you pay for. The CM blade masters are pretty good though.

Other Thoughts: -The rubber mounting pins, while neat, just don't seem like something anyone would use.

Pros: Probably the most silent fan of it class I ever see.
Look Good! Fully Anti-vibrations! 4 Pins Connector
119CFM @ Max !!!!

Cons: Nothings!

Other Thoughts: At first I trough it was running somewhere 50% (because it was so silent). After checking the speed it was a full 100%. So...that was my face---> 0_0 wow lol

Pros: It's a lot quieter compared to other brands I have bought. Quieter in terms of both air noise and motor noise.

Cons: I wish there were more color options

Pros: Quiet, solid build, rubber isolation mounts, fan airflow direction arrows on side of housing, adapter for non-speed controlled use.

Cons: Makes you want to buy more of them.

Other Thoughts: Great little fan, strong airflow. Quiet.

Pros: Easy install on my E8400 (LGA775) overclocked to 4.0GHZ
Very effective CPU cooler
No problems installing

Cons: LARGE! Had to relocate a 230mm fan on my case to make the heatstack fit

Pros: Very quite, move a good amount of air when compared to the RPM it is spinning at. Good static pressure, good CFM, low DB. Very Well rounded fan for almost any use case.

Cons: No color choices, and not a nice square frame. the square frame would help with rads a little bit but not much.

Other Thoughts: Ok so i bough 3 of these 1 for my front intake (the one where the optical drives would go.) and 2 for my H80i replacements.

So the stock H80i fans did move a good bit of air and had very good static pressure. the big con and reason they got replace was noise. They were incredibly loud. These are far quieter and move just as much air. they do lack the static pressure but compared to most other fans they are better. As a result of the slightly lower static pressure these fans dont keep my CPU as cold as the stock H80i's did, but they arent far off either. There is about a 2 degree C difference between them. With these running at full speed as well as all of my case fans my CPU hits about 42c at Full CPU and GPU load.(running folding at Home)



Case is a Fractal Define design XL r1
CPU AMD 965
2x GPU 6770s

Pros: Extremely Silent and moves ton of air.

Cons: At full speed, it'll be hearable.

Pros: Quality product
Very directional airflow
Moves a lot of air for the amount of noise
Long power cable

Cons: Not a fan of the orange. Just my opinion though.

Other Thoughts: Although it's more expensive than your regular 120mm fan, it's still a good value if you want something with a better build quality. No expense was spared in the design of this. I couldn't imagine anything being built better. I was also kind of suprised at how directional the airflow really was. The best use of this fan would be if you need to put a lot of air directly on a component. I think this would be ideal for the side vent that points directly at a graphics card or even the motherboard chipset.
