ANTEC Cooling Fan Case TWOCOOL 120

I installed one of these in a tower case I was building to be a Sharepoint and DB2 server as a pull fan at the bottom of the case. I had issues with the MOBO and abandoned the project to focus on my graduate studies. That fan had maybe 50 hours on it, and then sat for five years in that case. I recently decided to go back to this project and had it up and running for maybe 200 hours. I needed another two 144mm fans to complete the pull portion of my push-pull airflow. This fan has remained completely silent and had the blue color I liked, so I wiped off the dust from this fan to see which one it was. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Antec still puts out the exact same fan. Same everything, and even the same blue color LED.The fan includes four mounting screws, and a power adapter if you do not have a MOBO power connector available to power it.Since that same fan I purchased five years ago is available today, I purchased two more to complete this computer. The fans have a manual high/low switch. I prefer the set and forget method, so these fit the bill for me. If put them on their low setting they push plenty of air and make so little noise I do not notice them. Set to low, they move plenty of air for my needs. If I set them to high, they do move quite a bit more air, but the noise is definitely noticeable to me.Having the same blue LED for all three of these fans affects performance. In one study, they proved that mismatching LEDs in a custom build reduced system performance by nearly .0000000000000001 percent every 27,000 hours. Citation needed, you say????I demand the absolute best possible performance from my mid-cost builds, and by golly if matching LEDs are going to make my system look (I mean perform) faster, then I am all over it! Are there better fans? I don't know. Are there quieter fans? Um, maybe??? Do I wish I got a different fan? For a different branded 120 mm yes. For these, no.Con:These fans do not self-install

I replaced my Antec 140mm 3 stage fans (which are no longer made but they lasted over 8 years) with these 2 stage 140mm fans and they work great. Fans are nice and quiet. Definitely recommend.(the side with the sticker is the exhaust side in case anyone is wondering)

This review is both for the new ones and old. Over 6 years ago I built a pc and bought an Antec case that came with these fans. That case is long gone (gave it away) but the fans live on. I've gone through 2 NZXT fans (lasted ~2 years), 2 Corsair fans (lasted ~1.5 years), two Enermax fans (one lasted 1 year, the other "technically spins" but doesn't do anything) and 2 Cooler Master fans (I returned both as they made a whining noise). My original Antec fans still work, with their 2-speed fan control switch sticking out the back of my case. They're quiet and push plenty of air. I bought two new ones to replace previously mentioned fans and they're just as quiet. I'm confident these will last a long time. My current rig now runs Antec and Noctua (pwm) fans only.

I read a ton of reviews and know more about fans now than I ever wanted to. This fan is quiet and moves a decent amount of air so if that is your thing, this is for you. Silent cooling wasn't really what I was going for considering I'm trying to cool r9 290s which already sound a lot like a hairdryer. This fan is nice and comes with all the cables and adapters you need to connect to you PSU or board.In the end, I picked up a 120mm Jetflo and it pushes way more air but it is louder at its high speed setting and did not push air well through a perforated case (had to cut out the perforations) but that is another review for another time.Looking for quiet with decent air flow. Buy this.

Pros and Cons have been well-documented here, so I will just stick to my impressions. These are great fans, especially for the price. I have two mounted as intake fans on my Antec GX500 Illusion case (running a total of 7 fans including CPU and GPU fans) and the whole sha-bang is very quiet. I have all the fans running at low speed and the amount of air moving through is enough to keep everything inside cool, even when gaming. Some people are of the impression that you can set the TWOCOOL to high speed and have it remain silent, but the laws of physics still apply here folks. The whole point of larger case fans is that you can leave them on lower speeds and therefore cut down the amount of noise they produce.I would definitely buy these fans again.

Ordered two of these for a Corsair carbide series case because I like the blue LED look better than the white that came with it. Two arrived for some reason in separate packaging. Opened one envelope looks great new in manufacturer packaging, second in a box with other parts when removed from the Amazon shipping box is readily apparent has been opened. Sitting face up in the packaging, I think first maybe it's ok just got bumped and pop open someone just threw it back in the box before shipping if it works and has the Antec logo on the back I'm ok. Then I see the back and it is clear this has been run in someones case long enough to build up a layer of gross dust stuck to the intake side of fan blades and frame. Yuck! I've gotten a lot from Amazon over the years and while a few times I've questioned if the item was a returned repacked, this is the first time I've gotten something this blatantly used and it came from prime.

I'm not a computer guru, but when I buy a fan that is supposed to run at 800 rpm on low and 1200 rpm on high I take it at face value. It was running lower than both when I first put it in. 300 on low and 600 on high. After 2 days of being broke in it spins a constant 800 rpm now on the high speed setting.The stock fan that came with my Lian Li case spins in the 900's so I figure 800 will do the job. The blue LED is neat, Not too bright.If anyone knows if fan rpm's run at slower speeds than specified please add a comment as to why. I know bios and motherboard utilities are able to adjust speeds based on smart technology, but I turned those options off in my bios and it didn't matter much.

Mejor que el nuevo modelo con luz (inutil) Antec TrueQuiet 120 UFO LED Fan - Rojo. Suena igual, o sea, nada y encima da más potencia=menos temperatura en la torre. Y pa colmo, más barato. Perfecto !

Works well, only real comment would be since the plastic is black, the LED's don't stand out as much as they should. I also purchased a fan that was made from clear plastic, and would suggest this would be a better purchase if you want to show off the inside of your PC

Ich habe mir diesen Lüfter für die Gehäuserückseite meines PC-Towers zugelegt, nachdem der alte Lüfter hin und wieder gerattert hat.Für den Preis von 5,90€ inkl. Versand konnte ich ihn erstehen. Allerdings wurde mir weder der Adapter zum Betrieb über Molexstecker, noch die Befestigungsschrauben geliefert. In einem Lüftereview waren diese Dinge im Lieferumfang enthalten. Dennoch möchte ich dafür den Lüfter selbst nicht abwerten, zumal ich den Adapter nicht brauchte und diese Schrauben vom vorherigen Lüfter vorhanden sind. Ich werde dennoch den Verkäufer bezüglich dieses Umstandes informieren.Zum Lüfter:Der Lüfter verfügt über einen mechanischen Taster, der die Drehzahl auf 2 Stufen begrenzt. Dieser hat eine Kabellänge von ca. 15 cm und ist vertrauenserweckend schwer gebaut, ohne scharfkantig zu sein. Dank der Kabellänge kann dieser Taster bei mir gut und sicher verstaut zwischen Lüfteroberseite und Gehäuse eingeklemmt werden.Die Stromversorgung erfolgt über einen 3-Pin-Stecker ohne PWM. Das Programm SpeedFan gibt mir Drehzahlen von ~850 U/min und ~1300 U/min bei den jeweiligen mechanischen Tasterstufen bei Betrieb über den 3-Pin-Stecker am Mainboard aus.Die niedrige Stufe ist ausserhalb des Gehäuses nicht hörbar, die zweite Stufe hingegen bringt sein eigenes höheres Surren mit sich, das zuerst ungewohnt, aber unter dem Tisch akzeptabel ist. Mittels Speedfan ergab sich bei mir die Hörbarkeitssschwelle bei 900 U/min unter dem offenen Bürotisch, allerdings bin ich auch recht hellhörig. Bei 1000-1100 U/min liegt für mich die maximale angenehme Lautstärke, wenn ich weitere Tonquellen (TV, Radio) am Laufen habe.Die Kühlleistung ist als Laie schwer einzuschätzen. In einem kleinen Gehäuse, das auf Silentbetrieb ausgelegt ist, müsste sich die kleine Stufe mit ihren 800 U/min sehr wohl fühlen. Die kleine Stufe war auch bei meinem Midi-Tower bereits ausreichend um den CPU-Kühler mit frischer Luft zu versorgen. Dennoch verwende ich bei mir die angepassten 1100 U/min. Je mehr Luft, desto besser.

Ottima ventola, molto silenziosa e fa bene il suo dovere. Il led blu è poco appariscente ma si vede. E' disponibile un interruttore per impostare le due diverse velocità disponibili. L'attacco è a 3 pin ed è dotata di un adattatore per collegarla all'alimentatore. Prezzo/qualità eccellente.
