Review on Silencio FP120 PWM 2400, 120mm πŸ”‡ Whisper-Quiet Cooling Fan with Enhanced Cooling Performance (R4-SFNL-24PK-R1) by Daniel Drury

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Worked for 3 months then made a continuous rumble that never stopped

These are without a doubt the worst PC fans I have ever had the misfortune of getting hold of. I have three of these, two came with my computer and I bought one. The first one on the side of my suitcase started rattling quite annoyingly after about 2 months of use so I bought this one hoping it would be of better quality as it wasn't just something that came with the suitcase. I was terribly wrong. About a month later, the second fan on the top of my case, the exact same model as this one, started making the same uncomfortable wheezing. Two months later this one too. The fact that three of these fans had the same issue is beyond appalling, but given the fact that these fans are built to stay quiet, it's just idiotic. There is a difference in fan noise when running fast because these things are pumping out a lot of air. What shouldn't happen is a loud, uncomfortable rattle, which is one of the most annoying and distracting noises you can hear on an expensive computer. I'm shocked that they have so many positive reviews because every single one of them has drastically dropped in quality after 3 months of use. This is a terrible product, suitable for a computer that you use exclusively at school and certainly not for a computer that anyone in their right mind uses as a gaming console.
