Oil surface tension and hydrodynamic pumping forces provided by grooves, no friction, extremely quiet

HYDRO-DYNAMIC-BEARING TECHNOLOGY

We defined HDB to Hydro Dynamic Bearing. An oil seal design that has a higher reliability and advantage than conventional fan motor design.
1. High revolution precision, low vibration noise
2. Fluid seal design provide extremely long life span
3. Surface tension effect, runs more smoothly with no friction, extremely quiet
Fluid seal design is achieved through the use of oil surface tension and hydrodynamic pumping forces provided by grooves. Bend area is centralized oil and prevented oil leakage out of motor (oil leakage is main problem of sleeve bearing, short life time) . Friction between shaft and HDB will be down due to herringbone structure reaction(friction between the metal is disadvantage of ball bearing, noise & waste heat problem). So HDB conquer sleeve & ball bearing disadvantage to become more reliable & quiet technology for Top-notch fan. Such design concept is successful and applicative on HDD, and we can see a reliability application in it.

HDB, Ball, & Sleeve comparison

Sleeve Ball Hydro-Dynamic
revolution precision mediocre good best
vibration noise mediocre loud quiet
life span (hrs) 30,000 50,000 >150,000
waste heat high high low
Cost low high high

5 out of 5 eggsExcellent Fan

Pros: Bought these to push-pull my Corsair H100i and no problems. They are very quiet and the long cable length was a plus in my Blackhawk-Ultra case.

Cons: A little pricey but worth it

5 out of 5 eggsStill running!

Pros: They cool my Corsair iH100 Radiator in my HAF X case with 4 of them working together in push pull config.

Cons: You need to go to a big box store and buy a set of number 6 machine screws that are about one inch and 1/16 long if you wish to "Bolt" the fans to your radiator well enough.

Other Thoughts: Keeps my computer's MPower Motherboard reporting 35C while sitting on the net, so they are good fans. I like them.

5 out of 5 eggsOhman

Pros: The cfm to noise ratio is fantastic.
Replaced one intake, and one exhaust with these fans.
CPU, and system temperatures (ambient/load) dropped very significantly, all the while bringing my system to a whisper.

Cons: I would say the price...But you get what you pay for 100%

Other Thoughts: Only time will tell how they hold up, but judging by the build quality of these fans, I don't expect to be disappointed.

Included molex-3pin adapter is of good quality.

Pros: Very quiet, no humming or whining, vibrations well controlled.

Cons: I would've enjoyed packaging that was less flashy for a better price. I'd love an OEM version.

5 out of 5 eggsbest fans that i could find!

Pros: extremely quiet, push lots of air, very good construction (this applies to the cord design as well)

Cons: little pricey

Other Thoughts: i bought these because i was looking for the quietest fans that could move enough air to cool my corsair H80i in push/pull for my audio/video workstation. these are comparable to Corsair's quiet 120mm fans (perhaps even a tad quieter) but these Cougars push MUCH more air through per dB, which gives credit to their blade and bearing design.
Keeps my Intel 3930K running at the same temps as other "loud/generic" fans (32C idle) as well as using them for case fans.
Four of these and two 80mm Vantec Stealth are the only fans in my rig and I'm VERY happy.

5 out of 5 eggsAmazing

Pros: So far these fans are awesome. They push a tone of air and at full speed they are really quite but with a controller you don't even notice they're on.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I wish the ones with the blue leds weren't $20 each or I would order too of those to go in the front of my case.

5 out of 5 eggs

Pros: Quiet operation, high airflow, solid construction and engineering.

Cons: Expensive but worth it.

Other Thoughts: This is the 3rd fan I've used with my 120mm Corsair CPU cooler and the one I'm going to keep. The Corsair fan was too noisy so I bought an Arctic Cooling F12 which was quiet but poorly constructed with thin wires and solder points. Even though this fan is much quieter my CPU temps are the same.
