ENERMAX UC-12EB 120mm Case Fan
This case fan delivers aggressive yet silent cooling. It is durable to last long and easy to maintain with detachable blades.
ENLOBAL Bearing
The magnetic barometric bearing replaces the ball bearing with magnets, and the fan shaft is suspended in the air for a truly friction free operation. The new technology allows the UC-12EB to produce up to 44 CFM at 1000RPM with 17db noise level, and achieves up to 40,000 hours MTBF for years of hassle-free use.
Detachable Blades
The detachable blades design allows easy disassembly for cleaning and quick reattachment. No specific tools or complicated operation needed.
Pros: I bought this fan back in 2006. It still runs to this day at full speed. Blades have been holding up to annual cleaning, for the past 7 years. Much nicer to soap up and clean. Then dry off and snap back together.
Cons: I really get worried about popping the fan blades out for cleaning. I have accidentally broken fan blades before just by looking at them wrong. I want a CPU fan that does this.
Overall Review: Built for a custom desktop case in a smokers house. A 60mm-80mm adapter is attached to the rear of the case, this fan, then a duct pulls air up from behind the desk/against the wall. Air blows INTO the case. I found that to be the cleanest part of the desk. Pulling air into the case only caused the main board capacitors to pop like 22's as they got covered in brown slime. Fan still needs to be cleaned annually. Haven't had to replace a single motherboard since the above modification.
