 if you don''t mind fan noise, this is the radiator of choice
fin density far outstrips most other rads (save the very old thermochill HE series)-this won''t do as well as competition until you clear about 1800 to 2000 rpm fans-especially 38mm deep fans. at 3000 rpm it separates itself from the pack. if you''re using water for a quiet computer-wrong rad. for the lowest temps w/ strong fans-no other choice. |

if 60 dB doesn''t bother you, this is the fan of fans.
few fans over 200CFM this "quiet"-it''s loud to be sure, but there''s no high pitched whine due to lack of directional fins. i have a pile of these and ALL start up and spin at 5V. with a fan controller that can take the power of these you have quite a range to work with.
W/ a dense rad (and by that i mean black ice GTX or on a phase change unit) these are unreal. |

 Initially great, then oxidized and broke.
over 10 broke out of 20. They lasted about 5 months. the attached grill on one broke a fan blade on a neighboring fan. Is it just dry weather in California? not sure. none were exposed to direct sunlight nor were any ever in temps higher than 90F. maybe try some rubber shims? |

great fan, very quiet
the specs are about right when compared to other fans I have-lots of air for next to no noise. cable sleeved nicely.
i have these mounted as intakes, and you can''t use normal screws-the screw hole is on the back of the fan. so i used rubber grommets (the ones in the additional purchases section below) along with a fan screw spacer-works great, just need to plan ahead. |

Great fan
As advertised, tho I think this moves more air than other "50-60CFM fans I have. The fixed blades do a great job of directing flow straight out-you''ll love it if it''s to be a push fan. not quiet, but reasonable and no high-pitched squeaking or anything.
I have 2 4 by 9800gx2 systems, and the video cards alone are drawing 900w each. i used these as exhaust and the temps dropped 3C over another 80mm fan at 25CFM.
Highly recommend! FrozenCPu is a great seller too. |

Powerful fan for cheap
I bought two of these to help cool a pair of open air computers. The listed Db rating seems about right-loud but not too loud. Moves a lot of air. I bought the fan grills and paired them w/ rubber screws-no noise, safe fingers. Thanks frozen cpu! |
