good fan, blows out all the warm air in my case
very powerful fan. keeps the inside of my case cooler by blowing out all the warm air. could be a little quieter and have a way to control the fan (hi-lo-on-off etc) but overall i am very happy. easily installed in minutes.

Works as expected.
If your computer needs extra help venting air or you want to add airflow to a expansion card surface this works great.

Blower fan works well, easy install but might need an adapter to connect 4 pin fan to SATA power.
Great blower fan for Desktop PC and the price is just right. Installed the fan easily with the 4 Pin connector. I had to purchase an adapter connector to power the fan because newer desktop PCs don’t have a 4 pin power anymore, I had to use the SATA power and used an adapter to power the 4 pin Fan attachment.

great for LSI Megaraid sata controllers
Previously I've used 40mm fans mounted by forcing screws in to the heatsink fins, but I recently upgraded to a 16 drive controller that has a giant heatsink with smaller fins. These controllers are designed for high volume server fans. I tried using a dual 90mm pcie fan mount bracket, but it was just pushing hot air around the case and not really doing much good. It was better than nothing but I went on the hunt for something better.Then I came across this fan. Like everyone else, I wish they would update the design and get rid of the molex connector but I dug out the cable for the PSU and hooked it up. For the people claiming its loud, sure it's louder than a noctua fan running at 1000rpm, but it's not THAT loud. I have a spare bedroom where I keep all my pc's and I don't notice this fan over the other fan noise in the room. With the door open I can barely hear the pc's running, and this fan doesn't stick out above the rest.It does move way more air than I expected it to. When I put my hand behind the case I can feel the warm air it's sucking out from the sata controller I have it mounted next to. It has lowered the temps of the controller. It's not substitute for having a 3000+rpm fan blowing air over it, but it's enough for me to be comfortable with it. If you need something to keep the temps in check for a card like this I would recommend it, if you don't have access to a 3d printer so you can make a proper fan shroud. The fan takes up exactly one pcie slot, so you aren't giving up more space than that.

They move air like a G !
I bought two of these fans to cool my Samsung 980 PRO SSD temps (55C) in my Asus ROG Strix Helios case. It looks very pretty but airflow is very poor, causing higher temps on my SSDs. I already had a (3)120mm fans as intake and a 360mm Corsair H150i AIO and 1 other rear fan as exhaust. First attempt to resolve the temperature problem involved moving my EVGA RTX3090 GPU from Horizontal to Vertical mount. This helped reduce temps by ~ 3-5C as it allowed for better internal airflow.Then I added these fans and for faster air movement and now my SSD temps are 35C- 40C which made me happy. Slight caveat ...1 fan is ok as it drops temps just as much, depending on placement of device you want to cool. Noise is almost inaudible from my location.I added a second one to cool the boot SSD next to my CPU (i9-13900K) and now both my SSDs are very cool (literary!)...but the added noise of the second fan is the price you pay.Give the fan about 10 minutes to do its work. You wrong be disappointed.

This is loud
This fan moves air very well. This unit is also very loud. It was louder than tri-cool 120mm and 92mm blue fans. I ended up removing power from the unit because it was louder than the other 5 fans in my case combined. If you NEED cooling then this will help to get front to rear airflow added to your case. If you have other case options then I suggest using them first.For graphic card overheating issues you should add internal fans in the case to move the hot air away from the graphic card.This can be done by adding a fan to push extra air across the cooling fans of the graphic card. Using the "pull" system of this rear exhaust fan to take away hot air from the card is very inefficient. First task is to cool the card then the second task is to remove the hot air. This fan will remove the hot air from the case. Try using a dual 70mm card slot fan or a fan pointed at the graphics card to push air into your graphic card. I used the vantec card for that purpose.

Very nice
It’s a little on the noisy side but I’m not the kind to complain about it, nowhere near as bad as some Dell fans I’ve had from the factory. I’ve got it in my Dell Dimension 8300 in an effort to help keep the FX5200 cool, and soon it’ll help keep the Radeon HD2600 PRO I’m getting cool. Works well and I have no complaints.
