Description of Scythe Kaze Flex 120mm Slim PWM Fan, 300-1200RPM, Quiet Performance for Case/CPU Cooler, Single Pack

Stands only 15mm thickness(17mm with Anit-Vibration Rubber), the thin frame design is ideal for Small Form Factor computer case fan((HTPC, Mini-ITX PC), low profile CPU cooler/heatsink and water cooling radiator. Sealed Precision Fluid Dynamic Bearing: the bearing and the spindle are made of high quality compressed metal and are lubricated by a special oil film resistant to temperatures of up to 250C° / 480F°. This drastically reduces friction, ensuring smooth operation and reduced wear, which results in long life span and silent operation. Optimized performance to noise ratio, premium quality with Anti-Vibration rubber on the corners reducing possible vibration during operation. Newly designed blade and frame contribute high airflow with low noise. PWM control offers wide range fan speed for excellent balance of performance and quietness. Dimension: 120x120x15mm(17mm with Anit-Vibration Rubber), Fan Speed: 300±200~1200 rpm±10%. Noise rate: 2.7 to 23.9dBA, Air Flow: 8.28 - 33.86CFM. Static Pressure : 0.23 to 0.9mm H 2 O. Connector: 4-Pin, Voltage: 12V

Perfect Computers & Accessories

I wanted something slimmer than the stock fan to keep the distance to the CPU air cooler and it fit the bill perfectly. I especially like that they include extensions with these fans.

Pros
  • Consistent Test Results
Cons
  • Volume

DEATH SILENT at full power

I have this on an AIO heatsink and it's running at full power and I'm amazed at how quiet it is. I don't feel like it really does anything with static pressure. I've decided on another slim Scythe fan with a wide speed range. I think it's a great case fan or maybe a CPU cooler fan, but I'm not sure about the heatsink fan.

Pros
  • Looks good
Cons
  • About

Used to cool the VRM and memory heatsinks on my GPU

Dimensions 15mm without rubber mounts or 17mm with. I run it at slow speed so it's dead quiet. I just needed some air over the radiators and it worked great.

Pros
  • Good workmanship
Cons
  • Very expensive

PPE. There are versions for 1800 rpm

Great fans but I bought the wrong ones. These fans have a nominal speed of 1200 rpm. There are also 1800 fans, the sound difference is minimal, I had one with a cooler.

Pros
  • Complete set
Cons
  • No

Ideal for Corsair 280X

Great fan. Not totally silent, but when you put a bunch of fans in a suitcase, you can't rule everything out. I have a Corsair Crystal 280X case. Full height fans will not fit in the bottom of the case when a PCIE card is installed in one of the bottom mobo slots. This matched enough clearance and caused my internal temperatures to drop drastically. I also installed some taller feet to get better air intake under the case.

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Security

Great thin fan for tight spaces

I needed an extra fan for my Hyper 212 EVO but the included fan was too thick and was interfering with one of the RAM slots on the motherboard, so this slim fan from Scythe was perfect for me as it had a push-pull configuration without blocking the RAM slots. Sure, the newer version of the EVO compensates enough for the cooler that it's not an issue, but I couldn't resist selling the old version.

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • Not as good as it says

Fits the Thermaltake case with a small 120mm fan above the CD slot

Fits the front fan position of this case, which is very convenient but has some placement issues with the budget version of Thermaltake Features Versa H15 Black Computer Case SPCC Micro ATX Tower CA-1D4-00S1NN-00

Pros
  • Useful for more than its intended purpose
Cons
  • 0

Great price for a great low profile fan.

These fans are perfect for my needs. I have a smaller case with a 240 AIO cooler, I needed thinner fans to clean my GPU. I installed 4 in push/pull mode and they fit the bill perfectly. I can hardly hear them 100%.

Pros
  • Done
Cons
  • Some cons

Ideal when space is tight.

I have used these fans before and I can say they are very good value for money. I use them in my home theater which has an enclosure that looks very much like a classic sound system component. As a result, the thicker standard fans often rub against the components inside, making them ideal for placement in tight spaces. They also have some neat new features like rubber corner bumpers and braided fan lines. It's not a Noctua caliber, but it's a lot better than most of its competitors in this…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Other Other
