MASSCOOL FD08025B1M3/4 80mm Cooling Fan

Pros: Moves MEGA air. Quieter than a purring kitten!

Cons: None yet

Overall Review: Air flow is 1.5x my old fans, and the sound is about half. I switched out four old fans for these and my cpu temp lowered 2 degrees C idle and 4 degrees C lower when power-playing games!

Pros: Moves a lot of air. Inexpensive. 3 pin (with tach) and 4-pin power connector gives a variety of supply options.

Cons: Noisy. Much louder than expected. Attached 4 pin power connector exposes 12V, which can contact metal inside case unless you cover with tape or other cover.

Overall Review: 26.5DbA spec should be almost silent. This is quite loud, I would estimate at 36+ DbA I think noise is from cavitation due to the relatively high speed motor. Fan blades are not sculpted to reduce such cavitation, as more expensive fans do. BUT- if you want to move a lot of air with a low priced fan, this is a good choice. I won't return these, I'll keep them in my spare box in case I need a replacement.

Pros: Move a decent volume of air

Cons: Can whine a little, hit or miss on reliability

Overall Review: Bought 2 + 2 extras when I built my system a few years ago. They were less than 1/2 of their current price and seemed like a great deal! One is still going strong. The second died sometime in the 1-2 yr range. It was used as a front case intake fan, so I had no idea it died until I just happened to open the case for other reasons & saw it wasn't spinning. I replaced it with one of the spares, but then that one started making an awful rattle after only a few months. I just replaced it with the 4th & final one. I expect I'll be buying some more case fans soon, as these aren't reliable at all. I expected more from a ball bearing fan.

Pros: good airflow for a reasonable noise level.

Cons: none

Overall Review: I have 4 of these in my case and it is still pretty quiet. They have all been running for 2 years without any problems.

Pros: I guess with any fan if you put it in the correct spot it makes a huge difference. I have an Artic Cooling Freezer 64 for AMD sockets on top of a Phenom X3. That alone keeps it nice and cool. The case had one of those air funneling cones on the side door right above the CPU. It would not fit with Artic Cooling heatsink so I took it off and replaced it with this fan. Well, with this fan blowing directly on top of the heatsink within an inch or less of the top of the heatsink the CPU temps are remarkably low. Right now they idle at around 27c and hit the mid 30c even on a hot summer day when the room temp gets well into the 90s and 100F. Great fan when used properly.

Cons: No cons. Its not too loud, and pumps out enough air for what I need.

Overall Review: Another option, depending on your case airflow setup, is to use this fan on the side port as an exhaust fan to remove hot air.

Pros: The fan can move can move some air,it's better than my fans that came with my case and a fan i recently bought. the price is fair though not include shipping of couse.

Cons: alot of the peple say its queit...Not in my experience cause its so loud that i can still hear it when i was out in another room.

Overall Review: Masscool is a good name but it can still improve on lowing their fans noise level. Don't buy if you not a noise person.

Pros: This fan is very sturdy, not one of those cheap fans, excellent price for the fan, moves alot of air

Cons: this fan is a little loud. i have three running along with an older LED fan + my processors' and when my computer room gets quiet, my computer doubles as one of those white noise machines

Overall Review: if you are looking for a better alternative to sleeve bearing fans ball bearing fans are the next best thing

Pros: Good thick cord with both 3 and 4 prong connector, though it's short. Installation was easy and the fans are more quiet than the cpu and gpu fan. Temps never go above 55C underload with this and the new artec cpu cooler.

Cons: Outside of the short cords and the fact the wires don't allow to daisy chain not much to complain about.
