Review on 💨 Fractal Design Dynamic X2 GP-12 Computer Fan; Silent, High Airflow 120x120x25mm - FDB-Bearings, Trip Wire, Aerodynamically Shaped Struts - 1200RPM, 12v, Black Edition by Patrick Keita

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A good fan is ruined by mounting points and screws

The fan itself is decent. I would rate it on par with the Scythe Kaze Flex for looks and build quality, however I ignored reviews that mentioned screws and installation. There's a reason why so many reviews mention this... Here's the main reason1. The screws are soft and this strip is easy because…2. The screw holes are underthreaded and too small, 3 of the 4 are stripped and I managed to brute force them in after switching *3* different head size screwdrivers just to get them in. One day it will be possible to remove it without destroying it or the body or using a drill and a drill. I would say that you can install and move them once without damaging the fan and/or buying new screws. Ideally, use noctua's tool-free silicone fan mounts.

Pros
  • Feels good
Cons
  • Not the best
