Cooler MasterSickleFlow 120 - Sleeve Bearing 120mm Blue LED Silent Fan for Computer Cases, CPU Coolers, and Radiators

I gave 3 stars , I've encountered an issue thatI bought 5 peices , 2 of them have problems. Next time make sure all stuff in excellent condition.

I'm writing this review a few years after purchase so I have a decent amount of experience with these fans.The fans are okay, but they are quite loud, and after only a few months they were rattling and I would have to give them a quick bang to stop.The blue light was cool, though rgb is a lot better these days. Overall I would say my experience with these fans was 6/10, honestly I was expecting a bit more from Cooler Master. That being said - I never had any of them fail or have issues cooling a case with an FX-8370 in it. I still have them laying around.

The fan came with 4 installation screws and a 3 pin to 4 pin adapter that goes into PSU supply socket - NOT MOTHERBOARD fan socket.If plugged straight into the PSU supply line, it would run at max speed, making a noise which is quite audible in a silent room.However I realised this could be fitted in the 4 pin motherboard socket for front and rear fans on my Intel motherboard....and that made it 5 times quieter though it doesn’t run controlled by the system still. Perhaps the board voltage/amperage is modest as compared to direct PSU line.LED effect is good... n I got a quiet pc for just a few bucks...Worth the price totally...Amazon - perfect as usual in price and delivery!

Editado: Pague 150 MXN por este producto, actualmente se encuentra en 250 MXN, considera hacerte un favor a ti mismo, si el producto se encuentra a mas de 200 MXN ni siquiera consideres comprarlo.-------Inicia review-------Lo compre para reemplazar un fan molex que venia incluido con mi case.Al instalarlo note que no esta hecho de un plástico tan duro como algunos ventiladores stock (no es un gran problema, solo a tomar en cuenta durante la instalación).Review después de un par de días de uso.**Ruido - 2/5 - Este es el principal problema por lo que no obtiene una calificación más alta, la cantidad de ruido que generan es simplemente molesta, para ponerlo en perspectiva, actualmente tengo 3 ventiladores en mi case (me refiero a ventiladores de 120 mm para la case, si queremos ser más exactos podemos agregar los 2 de la tarjeta gráfica, 1 de el procesador y 1 de el power supply dándonos un total de 7 siendo este el octavo), no son ventiladores especiales, venían incluidos con mi case (Zalman Z3 Plus), aun así este ventilador se las arregla para generar más ruido que el resto de mi sistema junto.Esto no seria un problema si en el titulo de el producto no se encontraran las siguientes palabras: "Ventilador Silencioso", considerando que esto se encuentra impreso en la misma caja de el producto no me parece que sea problema con la descripción de el producto en Amazon.**Iluminación 2.5/5 -Si bien los leds son visibles por ambos lados de el ventilador, son mucho mas notorios por desde el lado que inhala aire, cosa que no es problema si planeas usarlos en el frente de tu case, pero se oculta el patrón si los usas para exhalar aire en la parte trasera o superior de tu case, el problema con esto es que la luz de los leds es relativamente débil, por lo que los considero inútiles en esta situación (en cuanto a los led) ya que no iluminan el interior de tu computadora como una tira de leds [ver fotos] ni se pueden ver bien detrás de un filtro de aire desde la parte exterior.**Flujo de aire- 5/5 -Lo principal en un ventilador, el flujo de aire es bastante bueno, si no fuera por los dos anteriores problemas habría calificado como en general como 5/5.En el titulo indico que no entiendo por que existe este producto, me refiero hacia quien está dirigido, considerando que en general existen dos tipos de personas que compran este tipo de partes para PC:1.- Usuario entusiasta, le interesan cosas como la estética, el ruido, la potencia y está dispuesto a pagar un extra por obtener estas funciones. No le interesan; la eficiencia de un producto (consumo de energía).2.- Usuario enfocado en productividad, le interesan dos cosas principalmente: que el producto sea eficiente económicamente hablando (precio de el producto y eficiencia eléctrica) y que el producto cumpla con su función. No le interesan un producto con iluminación que consume mas energía, o si el producto genera mas ruido de lo normal.----General---- - 3/5 --Básicamente este es un producto dirigido a el segundo grupo que fue modificado para ser vendido a el primero, no lo recomendaría ni a un administrador de sistemas, ni a alguien construyendo una PC "gamer", dado que el segundo grupo probablemente ni siquiera considero comprar esto, mi recomendación para un usuario entusiasta seria ahorrar y comprar algo mejor.No me refiero a que nadie debería comprar este producto, al final de el día cumple con su función, el flujo de aire es excelente, solo que falla en todo lo demás.

Bought 2 of these to connect to 2 computers within a computer desk (recently purchased to tidy up my study).Housing the computers in a desk really does raise the temperature a heck of a lot - I would suggest from outside to inside by about 20'C if door of desk remains closed. Looking at the temperatures generated then I bought some Coolmaster CPU Fans (see my other reviews) plus two of these fans that I wanted to house at the back of the computer desk cabinet to draw out warm air.They come with with two really useful items of wire craft. The first is a long cable you connect to your motherboard as perhaps a system fan or PSU fan connection so it comes on when the computer activates, the other addition in the box is a link cable (4 pin hard drive type) so you can link your cable to one of the HD cable runs from your power supply and lead the cable out of the computer case. So far so good but with the addition of an extension cable (available for £2.00 elsewhere on Amazon (and again see my reviews on this)) you can connect your fan with a really long cable to allow pull out push in of the computer unit easily.I would suggest covering the fan entry and exit paths with a safety grill (sorry see my other reviews on this elsewhere) to protect fingers from penetrating the fan spinning. Remember spinning at 2,000 rpm you do not want a finger poking into the fan. The fan comes with neon blue lights when on so perhaps an added 'feel me' factor you don't want!In a nutshell then, these fans do everything I want of them and more, they look good, feel good and do the job I want good too...and all for just a few quid really...PERFECT!!!Buy.....with confidence.Colin.

Just what I wanted - an affordable cooling solution for my desktop PC that also looked good and matched the colour scheme of my case, black and red. First impressions show that the LED lighting is maybe slightly dim (although it may just be the ambient lighting cancelling some of it out) and the cable is actually quite short, but with a bit of fiddling it can be worked out. Unlike some other cheap, budget fans I've seen, the plastic of the casing is well finished and sturdy. My only dig and the only reason for 4 stars is the noise generated by the fan in operation. As there's no automatic speed variation, it makes a fair bit of noise at full speed. However, in my mind, this is easily shadowed by the immense amount of air it can shift for the price of it. The noise can easily be reduced quite significantly with an anti-vibration gasket, which is essentially a rubber layer between the fan and the case (or whatever it mounts on).Overall a great fan and I would definitely consider this product again if the one I have fails or even to replace other fans. It's a shame they don't do 92mm LED fans!
