Review on πŸ’¨ Cooler Master MasterFan MF120R ARGB 120mm 3 Pack Fan: RGB LEDs, Rubber Pads, PWM Control for PCs – R4-120R-203C-R1 by Bradley Stewart

Revainrating 4 out of 5

There are more powerful 200mm fans like Noctua

Replaced the R4-200R-08FC-R1 MF200R RGB fan on my h500p CM because after just a month it started rattling (using the same fan) . The fan came with less wobble than the original fans and no misaligned decal, so that's a plus in my book. There are more efficient 200mm fans out there like the Noctua, but I don't think you can go wrong with this fan if you want 200mm and RGB fans. If you don't need RGB, look elsewhere. At 800rpm (800rpm max) they move a TON of air until they suffocate. The sound they make is more "windy" than "turbulent". If you can't stand the sound of a good quiet room fan, you'll find that it sounds the same. 200mm fans are still notoriously unreliable, so be aware of what you're getting into! CM actually performs very well in 200mm fan tests, and only Noctua is really consistently better (and uglier in my opinion). Just know what you're getting, many people don't realize that 200mm fans have these problems. 200mm FANS DO NOT HAVE GOOD STATIC PRESSURE so filters can clog them significantly (CM h500p front grille works fine, component temps stay the same from no front to grille).
