Pros: With the setting at its lowest the fan is very quiet. And with Arctic Ceramic thermal grease my Intel Core 2 Quad is sitting at 30-45 degrees celsius, averaging in the 30's. It's also a pretty fan.

Cons: MOST DIFFICULT THING I INSTALLED IN MY SYSTEM! They've really skimped on the mounting system. I had to uninstall my motherboard for the back panel thing. This should have been in BIG letters at the beginning of the instructions, which are by the way not very good. Tiny pictures and difficult to understand directions. The mounting thing is basically a this strip of metal that just sort of sits through the middle of the fans heat pipes. It's very easy to tip it and the little attachment mounting lever to slip sideways or upside down. So I found myself having to go through at least 15 attempts to finally get it right, smearing thermal paste everywhere, glad I got non-conductive. Finally I was able to jam the edges of the thin poorly constucted and conceived metal strip over the edges of the mounting base. It was flexing very much and hurt my fingers, the lever wants to slip upside down so that's a pain too. Took me 30 minutes at least.

Overall Review: It's a great fan, I'd recommend it, but the install is such a pain.

Pros: Amazing specs, I'm sure it's a killer card for games and such.

Cons: It's the most noisy thing I've had anywhere near my PC. I run a studio and noise is not ok, had to return this thing because of it's 30dB+ fan.

Overall Review: I wish Newegg would list the noise levels of graphics card fans.
