Review: Excellent fans for a good price. - The fans cool down my pc really well and provide a good level of airflow all while sounding pretty quiet for how fast the fans are going which is nice.
Review: Very Solid Built! Impressed by its performance! - Ordered this fan for my PC as an exhaust fan, because I got sick of my temps creeping up when gaming for extended periods of time. This fan is a beast in more ways then one, it moves a lot of air, but with the air movement it does get ramped up on noise. If you are looking for a more quite solution then this would probably not be the fan for you. in saying that you could use this fan at lower speeds and the noise is not as noticeable. I choose to run the fan at max speed when my PC hits a certain temp threshold. i have noticed a huge difference in overall temps and heat lag on my system. It has been solid as I use my PC daily for numerous hours and has not skipped a beat, no bearing noise, or anything. I highly recommend this fan for anyone, just be aware the faster it turns the louder it will get so set your fans speeds to your liking. It is also very solid built!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many cfm, or cubic feet per minute?**
A: Google says "120,2 cubic meters per hour to cubic feet per minute = 70,747049 (cubic feet) per minute." I can type that in with the best of them.

**Q: Is this an airflow fan or a static pressure fan?**
A: The fan blades are shaped for static pressure. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KF7PPY4/ref=psdc_11036291_t1_B07CG2PGY6 are shaped for airflow. These are static optimized fans

**Q: If I want to only use  two wires on this fan for max speed, which leads should I use green / black ?**
A: Here's some info that might help you, and should answer that question giving you some confidence...  that extra pin on a 4 pin fan is the digital speed control -- this is why the fan goes at max speed if plugged into a 3 pin connector (letting the 4th pin just hang over the side), rather than a a 4 pin connector.  Pin number 3 is what tells your motherboard the rotations per minute (RPM) of the fan.  So, all that you are left with is the first two pins.  The first pin is ground (almost always black) and the second pin is the power (it's 12 volts, but you can get 5 volts from the a custom connector from the power supply instead of the 4 pin motherboard connector if you want to have a slower fan).  Here's a chart:

For 4-Wire Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Controlled Fans

Pin 	Name 	Description	Wire color(usual)
1	GND 	Ground            black
2	+12V	Fan Power	yellow
3	SIGNAL	Fan RPM	        green
4	PWM	Digital Control	blue

So to answer your question, yes it is possible to just use the first two pins (regardless of color, although the first one is almost always black, but the color of the second one is not always the same).

**Q: Will the pwm control on this fan stop it completely even with power to +12v/gnd?**
A: On my motherboard (ASUS X99-E WS), can't speak for any other motherboards, any percentage below 50% results in no movement, giving you only really adjustment between 50-100%. I found this somewhat frustrating, but I do prefer this to them never coming to a complete stop.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My Goto Fan
*by 3***O on August 5, 2024*

Half the price of the As, better pressure and airflow with only a couple dB(A) more but in truth, I can barely hear these when they are at max RPM, just a low whoosh of air, nothing annoying. Works in our home theater just splendidly. I replaced the fans on the ThermalRight Assassin with these because they have more airflow and pressure and a high rated MTBF whereas the stock 120s on the Assassin were not rated at all. So five total, one on lower front, one on very bottom, one on rear of the case and two on the CPU cooler. The case fans have screen dust filters. Cinebench results right up there with their top slot, difference accountable by running background processes. i7-13700K running @5400 when needed, Asus Z790-Plus, G.SKILL (2x32) CL28-34-34-89, one 2T 990pro m.2 and two 1T SATA SSDs , MSI Ventus RTX 4060 8GB, pretty darn good for all these heat producers and simple air cooling. Case is a heavily modified and ancient Antec P160. Three of these fans mounted on the case pull cool air in and exhaust out the top which was cutout ~5x10 with a nibbler and covered with 6x6 galvanized HW cloth (heat rises). All fans controlled by Asus AI cooling 2. What I find interesting is that I hardly ever hear these fans. They spend the vast majority of time between 700 and a 1000rpm even when playing BG3 and are inaudible to me. A testament that they move sufficient air to keep everything cool at quiet low rpms. Love these fans.
