- Strengths:
- Good airflow
Good looks
- Weaknesses:
- Can be loud
Possibly prone to failure?
- Summary:
- I bought 2 of these fans. 1 month later, and one was so imbalanced that its bearings are shot and it won't work. The other one is still going strong. We'll see how potentially dealing with Cooler Master goes. I run these off a controller, at a speed where they're inaudible. They still move a decent amount of air, but if I ramp up the speed, they become quite noisy. I never need to ramp up their speed though, so all's well for me. Decent fan, would be 4/5, but -1 for the failed fan.
Noisy part 2

pwetty lights
- Weaknesses:
- Noisy whine from the pair i bought
Tried turning them down with resistor wire but the wire got extremely hot
potential fire hazard. A no no with LED's i guess.
- Summary:
- Probably a very good fan if your puter is not in your room like mine when you want to sleep.

Awesome deal.

- Not quite anything. Don't think you can call insufficient lighting a weakness.
- Summary:
- Extremely quiet, maybe just mine
Kind of dim lighting, but when your Mobo's blue it's awesome.
Really powerful
Recommended to all.
Great!

- -LEDs aren't very powerful
- Summary:
- These fans are really good. I replaced my Antec 900 II case fans with 3 of these. Up to ~1300rpm they are super quiet and still move a lot of air, and even at max 2000rpm they are quite a bit quieter than the stock case fans.
They also boast very high static pressure, so they should be great on heatsinks and radiators.
Great fans

- Strengths:
- - lots of air flow
- low noise given the amount of air moved
- led lights are the perfect level of bright
- Weaknesses:
- - a touch loud at full speed.
- Summary:
- Using two in combination with a zalman cnps10x flex cooler. Using a voltage controller they are nearly silent while pushing a lot of air and can be ramped up to provided amazing air flow and cooling. Oddly enough the two I bought were two different shades of blue, but this ended up making for a neat effect on the cooler.
Cooler Master 120mm (12cm) 'Long Life' Case Fan with Blue LEDs

- Strengths:
- - Nice look
- Pretty quiet
- Move a lot of air
- Weaknesses:
- - Not quite 'silent'
- Summary:
- These are huge and blow air like noone's business - don't have stray papers lying in it's path!
I bought two of these 12cm fans and one of them was slightly louder than the other, but both are still quieter than my old 8cm fans. The blue led lighting is softer, easy to sleep by, not too bright.
The 'long life' is because of the bearings and sleeves, and these should last about twice as long as 'regular' fans. Great stuff.
