Nexus BASIC D12SL-12 120mm Case cooler

Pros: Perfect combination of fan speed, air flow and noise level. No need to throttle, just let it run full on.

Cons: None

Pros: It's sleeved so it matches my modular psu cables.
It's Silent
It comes with silicon mounts/pins which after figuring out how to install, were actually a lot easier than screws IMO.
Comes with Molex adapter

Cons: It doesn't push much air at all but I'm using it as a bottom case fan to bring in a little more cool air i'm fine with this as long as it's quiet.

Other Thoughts: Plugged this into the Psu as i'm out of Mobo headers and don't want a fan controller still I can't hear it over the other fans in my case and could only hear the air moving when I put my ear to it.
I suggest this fan if you want a little more cool air flowing into your case without added noise but don't expect it to blow your socks off hehe.

Pros: Extremely quiet. I have several of them in a NAS blowing over the hard drives, and can just barely hear them when the drives spin down.

Also they seem pretty durable. Got them in mid 2010, and they've been running in a fairly dusty environment. So far, no problems.

Cons: None that I can tell

Other Thoughts: Since I'm staying in a dorm room and the only space for my NAS is under a desk, I wanted a couple of fans that would keep the drives cool without getting too loud. These work well.

Pros: I've had a few of these fans installed over many years, and yes, it's a very quiet fan that's not expensive. It's not very loud at its maximum speed, and basically silent at lower speeds.

Cons: It won't move much air at lower speeds, so it's only suitable for computers that are not very hot.

There are three different connectors on the cable, which is annoying. These should have been separate adapters. There is only a sleeve on the small three pin connector at the end of the cable, but it's like a rigid heat shrink tube.

Pros: Very quiet, moves a decent amount of air.

Cons: No instructions for using the rubber mounts. If you aren't sure, check the manufacturer's web site under "accessories."

Pros: Works awesome in a HAF-X case as a VGA cooler, does not make much noise and keeps the temps down on my video cards.

Cons: none

Pros: Dead silent.

Excellent static pressure at 1.2mmho for a 1000RPM fan. Great for highly restrictive intakes. This means more air being pulled in through your fan filters and such. CFM isn't everything.

Black and white color scheme looks nice (if you care about that).

Rubber anti-vibration mounts included.

Cons: Absolute cheapest, most shoddy idiotic power leads I have ever seen in my life. The 'sleeving' is a stiff plastic tube resembling heatshrink that wasn't shrunken. Both the 3pin and 4pin are hardwired to each other instead of just having a 3 to 4 adapter. The pins in the molex connectors wiggle around and won't stay straight, making it a pain to plug them in. The prongs on the pins that keep them in the connector VERY EASILY bend and break off so you push the pin right out of the molex plug! I LITERALLY could not plug them in to my AX650 power supply, and I didn't want to use my motherboard headers with the ridiculous wiring mess it would of caused.

I ended up plugging both fans into a 3 to 4 pin adapter and connecting them to my PSU that way. What a joke! DO NOT USE BOTH THE 3 AND 4 PIN CONNECTORS AT THE SAME TIME. One more reason why the wiring on these things are incredibly stupid.

Other Thoughts: The fan itself gets 5 eggs. The wiring gets 0 eggs. Seriously, it's THAT BAD. The way they are connected, you can't even just clip the molex plugs off and use the 3 pin, or the other way around! That said, I'll be generous and give it 3 eggs because the fans themselves work quite well.

If you buy these be prepared for a double facepalm. If you have the tools and parts to rewire these things yourself, that would be the best option. Otherwise you might want to just get a different fan although there may not be another 120mm 1000RPM fan that is as silent and with as much static pressure. I have 2 in the front of my 550D and they are working noticeably better than the stock fans which had similar specs but less static pressure (GPU temperature has decreased a bit, slightly less noise), but the wiring is truly an abomination.

Pros: Quiet.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Very nice. Well made. Quiet. Overall a very good value.

Pros: Nearly inaudible at stock voltage, dead silent when dialed down. Moderate airflow, excellent price point, no vibration or unbalanced blades (using 4x D12SL-12 about a month now)

Cons: Not the best airflow per watt, and the white blades show dust easier (that could also be a pro depending on how much you like your pc.)

Other Thoughts: Using these for case cooling and media device exhaust. Silicon mounts stand fan off case and haven't snapped on me, though I've only installed once.

Using 1 as exhaust for the entertainment center which includes an old laptop for htpc (+USB hdd when needed), cable tuner box, and a house phone base. brought down htpc idle temp ~12F.

This fan won't dump out tons of air, so I wouldn't recommend it for CPU, chipset, or anything that's currently overheating. I also own 3x SP802512L-03 (Nexus 80mm basic), which are approximately as loud and about 60-70% lower airflow (meas by hand)

Pros: Quiet at 12v. Inaudible at 7v depending on where it is mounted. Inaudible regardless at 5v. Smooth sound character at high rpms.

Cons: Permanent molex connectors are ugly and make routing the fan cable more difficult than it should. Would prefer a removable adapter.

Other Thoughts: There is a reason this is one of SPCR's favorite quiet fans. I am a quiet PC freak and have used fans from lots of manufacturers, including Noctua, Noiseblocker, and Scythe. Those fans are quality items in their own right, but considering the price of this one it is an incredible value. No fan I have ever heard is inaudible at 1000 rpm. This is among the most tolerable at that speed based on its noise character. If you are willing to undervolt it a bit, a truly silent experience can be had for less than half the cost of some of those other fans out there. No inaudible fan will be remarkable for airflow... if you want high airflow, then you must accept noise.
