"Fluid Dynamic Bearing" (FDB) fans are a marketing gimmick
Plug the yellow wire into the female connector for speed monitoring, otherwise the motherboard may report that the fan speed is zero. The instructions aren't terribly clear on that. This is due to the PST feature that many people probably won't use.Other than that, this fan is quieter than expected, based on some of the other reviews. It's not perfectly silent, but it's quieter than the background noise in my office. Most people will probably be happy with how quiet this fan is.Ball bearings are great.Most fans sold as having "fluid dynamic bearings" are marketing gimmicks for plain old sleeve bearings, or something only a hair better. Same goes for the various other related marketing terms. Few, if any, mass-market fans use true fluid dynamic bearings because they are more expensive. I'm sticking with ball bearing fans, since then I know what I'm getting, and it is reliable.If I truly need something silent, then I'll go for passive cooling. I don't want fans that will die on me.

Great fan for an older system.
This is a very good fan for the price. I used it on a CPU cooler to replace an old one that wasn't PWM and the system is now much quieter. Even under load it doesn't get too much louder but still manages to keep a non overclocked Core2Quad plenty cool.

these fans seem to work fine for what they are
Pros: Quiet, works well, runs at 2000+RPM constantly without problems. It will even run quietly and without complaint when taped to the side of the gpu.Cons: Probably not its fault, but it couldn't keep my gpu from frying. I ordered two of them to increase the air flow in my case, and while it did that, it just wasn't nearly enough air flow to change things. Again, these fans seem to work fine for what they are, but if you need serious air flow, this isn't for you.

Non-typical use for a project of mine
I got a couple of these to make an ac vent booster. (it goes into a 4x10 vent to improve airflow to it.) I clipped the signal and control wires and connected the yellow and black (positive and ground respectively) to a 12v DC power source through a fuse. It looks a bit crude but it works. I have to say that given the airflow I am impressed with how quiet they are. The only thing I can hear from the vent is air, and only in a dead silent room. No fan noise whatsoever. I picked these because of their dual ball bearing design for longevity, so hopefully they'll hang in there for a while. So far so good.

Great quiet fan. Replaces amd wraith stock 92mm
This fan works good and is quite. I Used it as a replacment for amd wraith fan cooler. I have yet to use the fan control functionality but its much quiter than the wraith fan. Atleast 15% more silent. I just prefer as little noise as possible so my next build will be clost to silent as possible.

Weak
This fan is not for gaming computer. It is too weak to pull air.

Great fans.
I needed a pair of fans to replace a failed OEM assembly on a R9 280X. I tried another set that were _way_ too loud. I went for a pair of these and they are great. The card stays in the 60s (C) under full load, and they are quieter than the OEM fans.

Received what appeared to have been returned item !!
The item that was shipped out appeared to be a possible return or used item. The box appeared to have been opened and closed several times, with the wires twisted and no instruction sheet in the box.Since I required the fan for use on my desktop's radiator cooling system, I did not want to chance of not being able to use my system for possibly several days until a new item is shipped. I installed the unit on my system's radiator which is working at the present time; but I'm not sure how long the fan will last?

Big improvement over original equipment.
These Arctic fans are well designed for cooling, or moving heat out of PC's,The fans use less power, are quieter, move just as much air as originals, and can be linked to the Bios with PWN driving settings. So energy usage is a big improvement. All at at very sensible price. Well done Arctic, thank you.

Genial und supergünstig! Kaufempfehlung
Ich bin von diesem kleinen Lüfter begeistert. Habe mir zwei davon gekauft und diese in ein altes Gehäuse eingebaut. Sie laufen wunderbar leise und schaffen es problemlos (natürlich mit CPU und GPU Lüfter gemeinsam, mein Mainboard und die CPU und GPU schön kühl zu halten. Beide Fans ziehen die Luft hinten heraus. In das Gehäuse hinein bläst kein weiterer FAN. Motherboard MSI B450M Pro-VDH Max, CPU Ryzen 5 3600, GPU Nvidea Geforce 1050 TI. Spiele mit dem PC GTA5 in Full HD mit höchsten Einstellungen und habe folgende Temperaturen bei sehr geringem Geräuschpegel (gesamt) von ca. 30 Dezibel: CPU 53 Grad, Motherboard = 39 Grad, GPU = 60 Grad.Holt euch diese kleinen Lüfter, es lohnt sich!

Amazing! Allows 2 PWM fans to connect to one PWM outlet
This fan is awesome. I love the fact that it allows you to basically piggy back PWN fan connections. I wanted to add a push pull configuration to my CPU cooler for better temperatures. But I didn't have anymore PWM headers left. I had a PUMP 4 pin connector but when I connected a PWM fan to that it just blew it at 100% speed which sounded terrible. When I came across this product from trusty Arctic. I was extremely excited. I was able to plug this fan into the PWN CPU cooler header and then plug my CPU cooling fan into the extra connection. Now both these fans are running at the same speeds! Amazing. I love it. Thank you so much Arctic for having a product like this. I am soo happy I found this product!
