COUGAR CF-V12H Vortex Hydro-Dynamic-Bearing (Fluid) 300,000 Hours 12CM Silent Cooling Fan

Pros: -Relatively powerful
-very quiet
-color scheme doesn't make me puke (noctua)
-versatile

Cons: -some people may not want orange, but these also come in all black
-Can't think of anything really

Other Thoughts: I bought two of these a while ago and just bought two more because they are so good. These might just be the best combination of airflow and silence available.

Pros: quiet
quality built and comes with a fan adapter
orange

Cons: box says it includes fan screws. mine didn't have any included

Other Thoughts: got it on sale for $10. keeps my corsair h60 nice and cool.

Pros: Great fan. Unique orange color, good airflow, quiet. They do everything i paid for.

Cons: No instructions for the stupid rubber things. Never could figure out what they're used for. But they aren't required for installation, so no biggie.

Other Thoughts: They're supposed to last 300,000 hours. That translates into around 30 years or so... Lets just say that hopefully the next time i'll be ordering new fans is when i go into the retirement home.

Pros: Amazingly quiet and efficient.
Great value for the price.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Bought 3 of these to replace the 2 fans that came with my case, all three of them together are quieter than the 2 fans they replaced, and move a lot more air.

Pros: Keep things cool
They're quiet
Orange = Tasty
Good Quality

Cons: No instructions

Other Thoughts: Again back to my con. No instructions, It's just a fan right? in person with a little tech common sense can install them, but they come with these little rubber inserts to use in place of screws that are not so self explanatory. After finding a youtube video of how to actually use the rubber inserts correctly, I opted out and went with the simple screws they come with instead. They work perfectly and they have the right amount of tension unlike some other fans that feel like you're drilling the hole yourself when you're mounting them.

Pros: Rubber grommets for mounting fan and screws provided in package. The rubber grommets are a nice touch as it really isolates the fan from vibrations. Quietest fans I have ever owned! These really move air through the case!

Cons: No instructions on how to use the rubber grommets, but it was easy enough to figure out. A small graphic depcting usage would have been nice....

Other Thoughts: I only installed two of the three I purchased because I wasn't sure how loud they would be. After monitoring temperatures I don't really need to install the third...haven't decided if I will install it for even more air movement or if I will keep it as a spare

Pros: Almost totally quiet. Fairly easy installation. Great cable management solution.

Cons: None! Couldn't wash my dishes :)

Other Thoughts: I have read other reviews about the fans making noise when set in certain horizontal positions, I did not experience that with at three of the four fans I installed in my Zalman case. I had a mix of Zalman and Sythe* fans and the system was loud, when I installed the Cougars, it was like someone turned off the noise instantly. You have actually listen closely to even hear any noise.

Pros: Very quiet.

The color fit the theme of my build nicely.

Comes with molex adapter if you need it.

The 3-pin connector cable has a black sleeve instead of exposed wires.

Cons: There are many cheaper fans.

Other Thoughts: I have 2 of these acting as exhaust for a case.

Pros: Ive got two on the top of my case pulling out of my H1oo running strong quiet and suckin hard.

Cons: 13 bux a pop (but last )

Other Thoughts: Im getting two more for my custom built Nas for my mechanical hdds

Pros: fast shipping, look cool and quiet

Cons: they used dhl which has verylittle in the way of shipping notifications. the ad here says 102cfm but it really means 10m3hm.so advertized wrong.

Other Thoughts: bought these caus a friend told me they were quiet, looked at them on here and they say 1200rpm and 60/102.6cfm. so i bought them. got them and box say 60.4 cfm/102.6 m3h so no wonder they are quiet at 1200 rpn there aint many fans that are not not very pleased with the false advert
