Question 1

Hi I am currently moving my rig over from a 922 case to a Fractal Design Define r4 case(windowed version) and I wanted to know that would this fan be an adequate choice to put on the Cooler Master Hyper+ heatsink?

Accepted Answer

I don't have experience with either case, but the airflow from the fan should be fine for a high-performance heatsink like the CoolerMaster Hyper series.

The Fractal case looks like it has great airflow characteristics, so I would have no compunctions using this fan on it.

If you want maximum cooling power, with a speed control to turn it down when you don't need it, N82E16811999344 offers that.  I think it comes in other colors, but I didn't see them right away.

Question 2

I plan on replacing my stock Corsair H110 Radiator fans with two of these.
would that be a good idea?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no. This specific model is the wrong size; you need the cf-v14hb. These things are lovely, and at full speed, they'll run much quieter and achieve greater airflow than the stock fans for your cooler.

Question 3

It says 3-4 pin adapter and my computer has 4 pin connectors will I still be able to use these?

Accepted Answer

Yes, my computer board, G1 Assassin 2, has the same 4 pins on it and I use this fans with it.

Question 4

Is the 4 pin adapter 4 pin MOLEX?  The picture really isn't helpful.

Accepted Answer

Yes, fans are either 2 pin (power only) 3 pin (power plus speed) or 4 pin (molex), You can see the connector sideways (not very helpful) but it is definitely molex.

Question 5

how many pins are in the connector?

Accepted Answer

3 pin; as a case exhaust, or radiator dual setup, I leave mine at full.  They are silent, and the only fans I ever use on builds.  I only use Cougar/Noctua's are too expensive and unappealling.  Search for the other 4 pin PWM Cougar fans, also -  the orange ones.  Depending on sale or not, they are the ones I usually use, but these black 3 pins are just fine.

Question 6

How long is the cable for this fan?

Accepted Answer

Just a hair over 17". Good fan but I had to get 120 volt fans to get greater cfm, a little louder but drops my temp down 5 plus degrees.

Question 7

Are these PWM fans?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they are.  Also I recommend these fans, once I started buying these, they are the only fans I buy now.  They are so quiet, I have four in my case right now and I hear my hard drive over these fans.  They do a very good job in keeping your hardware cool.

Question 8

I have a fan that is 2.75 inches square. What are the dimensions of this fan?
Thanks,
Scott

Accepted Answer

Sorry I can't help you, Scott.  My fan's stuffed down in my new computer, where it's run silently and flawlessly since installed.  Did you try Googling the model number?

Question 9

Not sure I'm seeing the answer I seek here. I am hoping this fan works well mounted horizontally, and can work as an exhaust fan? I am wanting to add a bottom mounted fan to my Thor gaming case, and my case sits a couple inches off of my CARPET, hence why I am wanting it to perform as an exhaust fan. Looking forward to a reply and I appreciate your time :)

Accepted Answer

Since you are mounting as exhaust on the *bottom*, I would expect no problems from the fans.  I have not seen anyone complain about clicking when mounting in your configuration.

I have had mine mounted horizontally as exhaust on the *top* with no problem for 8 months.  A lot of people do report a clicking noise from the bearing when mounted horizontally as exhaust on top.  Maybe I just got lucky and got fans that aren't prone to that.

TLDR: I can't guarantee it, but you should be fine mounting as exhaust on the bottom.

Question 10

Will this work in a Dell Dimension 2350?

Accepted Answer

you would have to look up if your desktop fan that you're replacing is a 80mm or 120 mm.  120 is significantly bigger. hope this helps.
