Question 1

there are some reviews on this product Tht state structural issues can anyone tell me if this is true? they say that sometimes they don't work and the Fins are weak and warp?

Accepted Answer

I have 4 of these installed on the NZXT Kraken x60 and they work like they should and are cooler than the stock NZXT fans (not anymore though since NZXT updated their x60 fans and are now higher output so people wont buy these BitFenix anymore).  I have not had a problem with them being flimsy or breaking, when I game I run them full boar for hours and not a single problem.  If they are "flimsy" its probably because some guy put his finger in the blade while its running, which you don't EVER do on ANY fan so yeah.  If you look at the picture, the center grey circle can detach from the black outer, I haven't tried because there is no reason to.  Install them and enjoy them.

Question 2

will this fit on a Kraken x60?

Accepted Answer

YES, it does.

I have the kraken x60 with 4 and it fits perfectly.  Although the new fans from NZXT (bought separate from the liquid cooler) has more pressure than the stock x60 fans, they didn't have those when I got my x60 so yeah.  But now they they have better fans I may update later.

Question 3

At the top of the listing for this item it states that a newer version of this item is available but when you click on it it takes you to a different sized fan from a different manufacturer.  Is there a new version of this fan?

Accepted Answer

I have no idea.  I would look at  BitFenix site if they have discontinue this fan or if there coming out a newer version of this item.  My second Choice, I would look at Newegg for other fans the airflow you want.

Question 4

I want to use these fans to circulate air in a small kegerator.  Are these 12V fans?  Can they be run full speed without motherboard control?

Accepted Answer

I am not certain but I'm pretty sure they are 12V max speed fan.  Pulse width modulation fans are speed controlled by varying the time the 12V is applied to the fan motor via a square wave.  Hence, a constant 12V should be a square wave that is at 12V for a 100% duty cycle yielding max speed.

Question 5

will four of these fit on a Kraken x60?

Accepted Answer

Yes it fits on the kraken x60.

I have 4 on my kraken in a cooler master haf xb evo (the box) and it fits great, even will a full size card (just barely fits).  I read that some people who don't have the evo edition of the haf xb had trouble because you have to install 2 fans inside the front panal and then the other 2 mounted on the back side of the water cooler, the haf xb evo fixed this problem and fits perfect.

Question 6

Will this fit in my NZXT Phantom 820 case?

Accepted Answer

Yes
