Question 1

How quiet are these if they are hooked to the psu instead of motherboard? (I.e running at full speed at all times)

Accepted Answer

I have them setup throughout my case including some High Static Pressure ones, and it still rings in lower than 30db. To be honest though, I sprung for the Corsair Commander which has a fan control through a graphics interface on your screen. (It's awesome.)

Question 2

Can you use it without the rings if you just wanted them to be black?

Accepted Answer

pretty sure. You can switch out the colors so i think if you take out a ring it's just black? sorry I can't remember for sure

Question 3

Would these work ok with a dual 120mm radiator? The red design, and the fact that they are so quiet got my attention.

Accepted Answer

Hi Levi A!
I see no reason why these wouldn't fit a dual 120mm radiator; could be why they're packaged as a pair. They also come with a set of blue rings and white rings if you want to change their look.

Hope this helps - I love mine!

Question 4

So, I've heard from a few sources that if you buy the H100I (i did) and dont want to throw the stock 2 fans away (SP120L) and still want to do a push/pull. These are good for pulling. My question is, the RPM for the stock ones (SP120L) Is like 2700 rpm, these are 1100 RPM. WIll I be okay with having the 2 stock fans pushing air into the radiator, and having this mounted on top pushing it out of the case, even if it's at a lower RPM? I'm planning to control all four with the actual H100i Unit (the rest of my fans are controlled via a switch on my case). Any ideas or answers are greatly appreciated! Thanks

Accepted Answer

My personal opinion would be that you should be ok. My reasoning has to do with the Rad itself. The rad I believe is a VERY open design allowing air to pass through any path it may find. If the air was directed only through the slower fans I could see a problem in the fact that the air would force the top fans (slower ones) to move faster than the motor can push them, which can lead to some problems. As long as the SP airflow is close to the airflow of the bottom fans however I do not see how it could be an issue. If the same amount of air is passing through the fans the speed of the fins should not matter as it doesn't in water in theory.

Question 5

Are the screw holes threaded?  Mine were not and i want to know if they are supposed to be before I try and return them, although the rubber shock absorber on one of mine ripped off while I was trying to unscrew thefan

Accepted Answer

no the holes are not threaded. The rubber washers should catch the bolt

Question 6

I see these are rated at 39.88CFM, Outside of the noise as I hear they are quiet do these push alot or enough air as for intakes for side panels?

Accepted Answer

TThey do well, most people hate them but not bad, they ouch well for water cooling and standard airflow, personally I say get performance edition and put the voltage cut cable on it to lower the rpms and there nice from there

Question 7

do these use the 3 pin or 4 pin connectors? I am looking for fans that have 4 pin connectors.

Accepted Answer

Since it is a 3 pin, can you plug it in to a 4 pin? Obviously 1 won't be plugged in but will it work that way? Or what is a good Corsair 120mm 4 pin fan?

Question 8

Are these fans compatible with an NZXT fan speed controller?  I have cheaper fans that make noise unless the controller is turned up all the way and I want to make sure that these fans won't do that.

Accepted Answer

They should be as they are 3-Pin connectors and I can change them using either the Corsair Link 2.0 software program or the ASUS AI Suite software program. The answer is yes unless the NZXT controller does not use 3 or 4 pin connectors which is highly unlikely. However you may not want to lower the fan RPM due to their extreme quietness even at full load.

Question 9

How long is the fan cable?

Accepted Answer

I can't tell on the fans i have because they are all cable managed and bundled up neatly, but i would say the length is at least 12" maybe even 18".

Question 10

Is the RGB port a 4-pin or a Molex?

Accepted Answer

Hello Paul Paciorek,

Thank you for contacting us in regards to your question.

It comes with a 3 pin connector. This is not a RGB Fan. This comes with 3 colored rings for you to change out to match your cases design.

Thank you and have a nice day!
