Inexpensive solution to coldness!
Just recieved these today and I say, my first impress was they look flimsy and slightly cheap but after installing them and really listened to them, dang. You barely can hear these things. I really mean it! I have the Haf932 and the stock fans are quiet and I swapped those out for 8 (yes 8) Scythe fans and THAT is loud. I''m kind of baffled, these are so inexpensive yet there so quiet and they do a damn good job of cooling. All I wanted to do was equal out the air pressure in my case since I have two Enermax Magnas on top. My first (only so far) was shocking! My temps dropped on my i7 with CM V8 and GPU, everything. So moral of the story is, higher CFM fans don''t necessarily mean cooler temps. Static pressure and positive pressure play a HUGE role in cooling. Do you research before go and buying a fan. Enermax has become my new brand of computer fan. Here''s how I have my case: Front: Stock 230mm fan (being replaced by a SilverStone high pressure fan) Side: 4 Enermax T.B. Silence Top: Two Enermax Magas Rear: Stock (Either Scythe Ultra Kaze or Enermax Apollos) Need more research. Computer fans get overlooked and misunderstood. High CFMs are good but not always great. Need to equal the pressure inside your case. Take time and read forums and chat with some companies. In the long run. knowledge is gold.

Atomic Fire Ball Liquid Form
I don''t normally write reviews for energy drinks, this shall be my first. I love the looks of the can. Which were my first impressions of this drink. Now, I''ve drank a lot of different energy drinks and this seems to be the best kick. Although, it really has a bitter burning taste. But by all means, if you like the burning sensation, this may be the energy drink for you. I found a website where you enter your body weight and your "poison" and it''ll tell you how much you can drink before you "play the big PC in the sky" and this one was highly ranked. Like I said, I drink a lot of energy drinks, this one is thee only one that gives me that hyper feeling. I have A.D.D. and this stuff gives me A.D.H.D. Now, a word of mouth, do not go to your local gas station and ask for this stuff. I did that, the guy gave me a look and said to get out. After realizing what I actually said I told him it was an energy drink and he just smiled and said no. For those who are curious about this drink, buy it! Doesn''t hurt to try. It almost feels like alcohol running down your esophagus and nasty burning burps.

What?!
I gave these fans 5 because they push air, I mean, they.push.air. 4 of these were mounted on the side of my CM HAF 932 and my temps, according to SpeedFan, never got a red checkmark. I also have a Scythe Ultra Kaze for rear exhaust and 2 more of these fans on top for top exhaust. If you want to talk about loud, yea, do that! Luckily, I had my computer under my desk in a little cubby thing. Hardly hear it. I also second the review about dust. After inspecting my computer after like 2 months, I had to do some serious cleaning. Both the fan and inside. But down to the fan, with a fan filter and perhaps rubber screws, you''ll drop the dba by a few. But will keep your computer cold. Obviously with some hearing issues. I''d recommend these fans if your looking for good airflow and not to worried about noise.

Tool-less = awesome!
I''m going to do a quick review on these just to help people. I use these to save money and time swapping fans and save money on buy a fan silencer. I''ve never used a fan silencer because I''ve always used these. Ever since I seen them in a old Dell Dimension I had. They maybe a tab hard to get into the fan but I use a little (I mean little) flat head screw driver while I pull on the end. But once they are in they stay in. Absolutely, dissolves vibration, noise, and time. For a buck fifty for a 4 pack, these are well worth the money. One more thing to add. Perfect for putting a fan in a place where there is no fan placements. Example: CM HAF 932 front fan. Made for a 230mm fan with a 120mm mount available but for one who wants to use a 140, the holes are big enough to allow these to pop in and hold the fan. Good to have extra. Hope this helps!

Amazing!
I picked up 3 of these, 2 for my 4 side fans to save cable cluttering. Luckily I picked up three for 2 120mm Enermax fans on top of my CM HAF 932. Works great! Should also pick up one or two more, just in case (no pun attended)

EDIT
I''d like to update my review. After plugging these in into my PSU to a molex than having a dual 12" cathode running off of the other molex connector, It seems to have fixed itself? They are more deeper red, perhaps they just need to be "broken in". I''ve had these for over a year now and they are currently mounted on the bottom of my case as under glow. I finally achieved the red I wanted for my case.

Change my review. 2 = "blood red" = Awesome!
I realized something, Once I found my other 12'''' red cathode tube, plugged them in and voila, the color changed from a bright orange color to an actual (dimmer) red. Yes, more of a "blood" red. Again, if you have one 12'''' cathode, it''s going to be brighter. Ordering more for a few projects.

Bright but a bit orange
I mean, there red but if your looking for blood red this isn''t it. It''s not FrozenCPU''s fault, it the company who makes it. But all that aside, these are bright! I have one on my side case (CM HAF 932) and they light up the room. I''m going to buy another one and a few extensions to achieve ambient lighting for my dual monitor setup. Bottom line: BUY FrozenCPU is the only company I know that sells the little knick knacks you need to achieve the mod you want.

Meh,
I bought these from a different site but the same brand. The ones I got, are not very bright. I''m ordering these again to put under my subwoofer with sound activated. If my next purchase of these things are brighter, they''ll go in my case (CM HAF 932)
