Alright fans. 06/30/2014

This review is from: Rosewill RNBL-131409B - 140mm Computer Case Cooling Fan with LP4 Adapter - Black Frame, Smoke Blades & 4 Blue LED Lights, Fluid Dynamic Bearing, Silent

Pros:

LED's are pretty nice, they come in a darker blue though so if you try to match them to a CM Sickleflow it's a bit off. It moves air, keeps my computer pretty cool, I have three of them in my case and the single 120mm version of this exact fan is probably louder than the three 140mm versions that I have in there.

Cons:

All of them click. One was clicking really bad because I guess one of the cables was hitting the fan blade so I had to pull back the Rosewill sticker slightly (which wasn't hard because it was already a little lifted) and pull the cable up out of the fans way and put the sticker back down, and maybe that's the cause on all three of them? I have no idea but I only fixed one of them because the clicking was soft enough for me to not mind. Also they use self tapping screws so when your screwing it in it sounds pretty rough and you need a little more force than usual, lots of cracking noises. Also you can see that at the 3-pin connector there previously was a molex attachment that they cut off (you can see two little wires in the connector that are just straight cut out) and the reason I know it's a molex connector is because the 120mm fan has the same connector, but without the molex connector cut off. Also the LED's are secured by what looks like metal and a big glob of glue, which I mean you can't see in my case once mounted but it's there and worth pointing out. If you wanted to change the LED's maybe it would be an easy mod though?

Overall Review:

I'm using them in my case and they do what I need them to do, which is move air and look pretty, so I can't say I regret my purchase but I wouldn't consider them "high quality" by any means. Also if your wondering what the static pressure is on these fans (mmH20) you're not gonna find out (I asked about the 120mm version) they just gave me the CFM. And that was contacting Rosewill not Newegg. Once they got in there though I was happy enough, pretty nice looking, if I replace them it'll only be because the clicking gets worse, it's mostly just out of the box cheapness that might turn you off, but then again, they're cheap fans. Also worth mentioning, the 120mm is transparent and the 140mm is translucent (as far as a black fan goes)? I mean I could tell from the pictures but I just don't know why they wouldn't make them all transparent or all translucent. You figure you'd want them to match.
