No frills fan....
These artic fans are great if you just want a really good case fan. No frills no RGB and reasonably quiet then this is it.Reasonably priced too. I've had a lot of artic stuff over the years and the quality is really good whether it be case fans or CPU fans....

Nice budget fan
Exactly what I needed to replace broken CPU heatsink fan

The motor is NOT quiet.
Pros:-Moves a lot of air relatively quietly.-Nice sound profile (not whiny).Cons:-The motor is not quiet at 1000 rpm to 1200 rpm. Which is the speed range that would probably be the best balance of sound Vs performance if it weren't for the motor buzzing/humming at that speed.

A nice PWM pressure fan
As a complete newbie to case upgrades, I bought this to replace an 80mm(!) 3-pin exhaust fan that came with my ancient no-name "airflow" case. A few weeks after installing and it's doing an amazing job, being quiet and varying speeds appropriately to keep my GPU/CPU cool. I'm no hardcore current-AAA-game player, but like my older games to look good at 1920x1080 and do use the PC for video and 3D work, so efficient cooling at moderate loads is a must.The packaging is minimal, but the box is a snug fit so the fan was secure inside it. On opening it, I was surprised by how solid it felt for a budget fan. It's certainly got a reassuring heftiness to it. The design is a slick kind of basic that belies the comparatively low price point.It was an absolute dream to install; not even the slightest stripped screw! It does take quite a bit off force to get the screws in, being the self tapping variety into unthreaded holes, but once they're in, they're in tight. I've had no issue with vibration. The cable wraps around the casing very neatly.I had originally meant this static pressure fan to replace my front intake by the drive cage as I'd guess that's where it'd be more effective, but as my original 3-pin 120mm stock fan was working well enough and my back fan wasn't up to the task, I chose to try it out there first (easier to access should it need tweaking or removing). I kept reading how Arctic fans could be hit and miss when it came to noise and quality, but this one seems great. Perfect for someone who wants a quiet, understated, efficient fan that doesn't cost the earth... and without all those flashy lights/lurid colours so many manufacturers think *everyone* wants!After looking at many dearer rival brands, I'm glad I went with this Arctic one. For the price, it more than lives up to expectations and I would buy this or similar from Arctic again - I'm already eyeballing a PWM F12!

Better than expected
Bought this for use in a small comms rack to get better airflow, it is quiter and moves more air than I expected so I'm very happy with it

Great value, great quality
Really happy with the quality for money of these fans, definitely recommend for those who don't need RGB but want good airflow.

Unbelievable price, quiet, performs well.
I got three of these to replace some older fans as front intakes, they are supposedly pressure-optimised and so should work well pulling air through a fine mesh dust filter.Pros:1. Exceptionally priced at just over £7 yet seem well built and don't look or feel cheap.2. Work well pulling through the dust filter due to their higher static pressure performance. Would work equally well against a heatsink or radiator.3. Extremely quiet! I actually didn't expect them to be so quiet, even ramped all the way up to their maximum speed they are far quieter than I was expecting. At lower speeds they're hardly audible.4. PWM controlled (4-pin) which works well for controlling their speed.Cons:1. You do get a sort of 'resonance' or some kind of slow pulsating sensation at specific speeds, however as long as you don't set them at those speeds it's a non-issue.2. The maximum speed isn't consistent across all the three fans I bought, one tops out at 1753RPM, the second at 1691RPM and the third at 1739RPM. It's not really an issue but just be aware if you're tuning them with PWM the same PWM % won't result in exactly the same speed for each fan, you might want to tune their profile individually.But for a little over £7 a fan, these are exceptional value compared to anything even twice their price.
