Case fan AeroCool DS Fan 14cm Review

The first impression of using this series of fans turned out to be misleading. Yes, the fan looks unusual and beautiful. Yes, for its modest speed it has a noticeably higher airflow. However, after a few months, his vaunted bearing and heavy weight begin to play a cruel joke. Despite the declared +100500 hours of perfect operation, after half a year it starts to emit a low-frequency hum or even crackle (depending on how unlucky you are). At the same time, due to the large weight of the entire…

I wanted to install it on the side wall of the case, on the blower, and get a beautiful backlight from the outside, but alas, it shines where it blows. Turned it on, checked it: standing on the table, it is quiet, as soon as it was attached to the attachment point, it immediately rustled, now it is the noisiest in the system :( I do not advise spending money, either take the cheapest UG, or add a little and buy something with magnetic centering.

I don't know if the batch got defective. But I will now look for other quiet fans. Disgusting. They are never worth their money.

Only the cooler itself smells, it does not create a smell of rubber in the team

For me, the above disadvantage is not critical, since the speed of case coolers is manually controlled by the controller.

If it is installed for blowing on the front wall of the case without any special obstacles to the air flow, then you may not hear any rustling. However, such a backlit cooler looks…

I put it on blowing into the front of the case, the silence is complete (just believe me). But the backlight is visible only in pitch darkness! Before that, there was an old "Carlson" from Amazon, so you could read a book from its red light. In general, the backlight is a complete sadness . Pros below: SILENCE! Excellent quality of MATERIALS and assembly, the manufacturer did not stint. Interesting and thoughtful design of the blades. The presence of silicone and metal fasteners in the kit, an…
