not for every application

Pros: Noctua quality
Extremely quiet and good air flow.. not pressure but flow.

Cons: Low static pressure!! This is not the fan you want to use on your new CPU cooler; it is also not very good as a intake fan if you have filters or tight mesh work and whatnot. Go with the NF-P12 for situations like that; it will be worth the extra few bucks and you can turn it down some if you need to match the sound level of this unit. If you just need to move free air around then this fan is perfect.

Other Thoughts: Contrary to most opinions I really like the colors. There is just something about it.. they are soothing :D

Pros: This fan is awsome. Although the price is pretty up there, it was worth every penny. My corsair psu fan is louder than this. I'm using the rubber fan mounts and they work great. When you first put them on, the fan wiggles, but that doesn't impead on its performance.

Cons: Not a fan of the colors, but who cares? I don't have a clear side panel window so no one will see it. As long as it does its job.

Price! It's tough times right now.

Other Thoughts: Great case fan. One of the best I've ever owned. Might get another to replace stock case fans.

Newegg rocks! Keep up the good work guys. You have a customer for life.
