Buy it! Computers and Accessories

So I bought two of these fans to replace my 2x 50cfm Coolmaster fans to water cool my CPU. The single fan is about 70-80% thicker than a typical 120mm fan, so it's not ideal for smaller cases unless you're sure you have the space. You should also purchase a powerful fan controller rated at at least 36W per channel. You can probably use a 30W fan controller and you'll be fine as long as you don't run that fan at 100% power. So after installing the bad guys I couldn't believe it, literally in awe and shock at how powerful they are. I read other reviews but just didn't get how much air they push. I literally run it at 40% power and it has already outperformed my previous fan bank by over 10°C in standby mode. Overwhelming from 4750 to 36 °C. I'll definitely admit the fans are loud, but that's a small price to pay for a true gamer. If you're trying to keep your cool and not waste an arm and leg, this is the option for you. I will update this in 6 months to talk about the reliability of the products. Overall I am happy with this product and would buy it again. Fan load at minimum load 40%. Note that my fans are wired in series so the flow almost doubles, but these fans are excellent. Quad-core processor GeForce 660tiAMD A10-6800K 4.3 GHz.
