Arctic Cooling Arctic Fan 12L Low Speed 120MM 1000RPM 37CFM 20DBA FDB ANTI-VIBRATION Mounting
Cons:exhaust only, really really thick
Pros:seems well made, quiet Comment:
This fan sucks to mount. I never made it to the product page - just hit 'buy' in one of the weekly sales, so I didn't realize it was exhaust only. Also it can't fit in small spaces. It's also relatively low flow... so... buyer beware. make sure you know where you're putting this before you buy it. |

Cons:None
Pros:Very good price, extremely quiet Comment:
This is the third one of these I've bought. Use them on rear of case to exhaust heat. It is nice and quiet. The anti vibration rubber mounting posts work perfectly. Only thing about them is you can only mount as exhaust, not intake. But that's life. |

Arctic Cooling Arctic Fan 12L Low Speed 120MM 1000RPM 37CFM 20DBA FDB ANTI-VIBRATION Mounting
Cons:Frame feels a bit flimsy; just be careful when installing.
Pros:Very quiet, has anti-vibration rubber-grommet mounting. Comment:
I bought this (on sale) to replace the disappointingly loud 80mm case-fan on my main system (equipped with fan-less video card).The difference is astounding; with AMD's Cool n' Quiet enabled (it keeps the fans spinning slowly when not required), I can barely hear the system at all. I've recommended this fan to my brother for his system. |

Cons:- Can only be mounted one way
Pros:- Quiet- Looks nice- Good quality Comment:
I'm using one of these to cool my video card and chipset. I'm running it at 450 RPM with a Zalman Fan Mate 2. It didn't want to start up reliably at 400 RPM (~5 V on Fan Mate,) but it's still silent at 450. |

Bought one of these to cool off my digital tv PVR, and it's doing a great job while being ultra quiet! No vibration at all, and the sleeved cable keeps things nice and clean looking. |

Cons:Low CFM, but that is to expected since that what it is designed for
Pros:Fantastic Value, Low noise and good construction. Comment:
I got this fan to replaced some manual speed control fans on my Antec P180. These are great fans, and have very nice little vibration mounts.These fans can ONLY be mounted for exhaust fans. The bird case guard does not allow you to change it.I would recommend these fans for anyone that needs a very quite case fan. |

Arctic Cooling Arctic Fan 12L Low Speed 120MM 1000RPM 37CFM 20DBA FDB ANTI-VIBRATION Mounting
Cons:Screw holes are not pre-threadedScrews are too big for my Antec Sonata and Sonata II cases
Pros:Not sure, can't hook it up Comment:
First off, the screw holes are not pre-threaded, so you can just barely get the screws to stay in the holes, then you have to really wrench them to create the threads yourself. 2 of the screws are already starting to strip from having to do this myself.Also, the screws are too big for the holes in the back of my Antec Sonata and Sonata II cases, meaning that I can't even use this fan. I had the same problem with the Cooler Master Neon Blue LED 120MM Case Fan where the screws were to big for my cases, so I'm wondering if Antec Sonatas use some non-standard size for the holes at the back of the case (I was still able to attach that fan using zip-ties though).So since I wasn't able to get this fan into my case, I can't really comment on the performance of it, so I'm giving it 3 stars. So anybody else with an Antec Sonata case I would recommend getting a different fan. |

Cons:Can only be mounted to blow outcosts more than others
Pros:Very quiet! Comment:
Arctic cooling is well known for silence. And this fan just continues that trend. Seems solidly built and should last for years. Only down side is that it can only be mounted as exhaust. |

Pros:Low noise, good looking to a certain extent Comment:
This is a great fan if you want to keep your system quiet, however the only weakness is that it doesn't have the RPM to drive a lot of air, however a casual user would love to have this. |

Nice fan. Unique design. It appears it's only for mounting as an exhaust fan, not intake. It runs very quiet and sucks a lot of air out of the case. It's a good choice for quiet air cooling...even for an overclocked system. |

Bought it to provide intake for my case, does a great job, just had a bit of trouble figuring out how I was going to mount the fan using the plastic grooves, just glued into place with a hot glue gun solved it nicely. |

Cons:Exaust only and does not have a molex option.
Pros:Quiet and cheap if you get it on sale. Comment:
I happened to see this fan on sale last week at NCIX, I wasn't happy with the included fan in my Antec Titan 550. Not that there was anything wrong with the Antec Tricool, it was just a bit more noisy than I wanted. The Artic Cooling fan looked interesting so I picked one up for less than $7 and wow, what deal. I plugged it into the chassis fan connector on my M2N32-SLI motherboard and set the fan control to "Optimal". The fan moves plenty of air for my needs, it's very quiet and the rubber suspension keeps the rumbles away. Great fan, too bad it can only suck air out of a case, I'd buy two more in a heartbeat if they were available in 92mm and configured as intake fans. No need to spend more unless you're looking for completely silent operation. RegardsChristian(Edit: I mistakenly wrote the review for this unit but I actually have the higher speed model. That said, this one is probably quieter yet!) This review was modfied by poster @ 03-30-07 09:55 PM |

This fan is a great fan. It pushes a good amount of air and is really quiet. Only problem is the funny shape only allows it to be an exhaust fan. If you want a fan for a CPU cooler make sure it fits and can be mounted and don't get this for a front intake. |

A top notch fan, excellent as a primary exhaust fan. I've mounted this one at the back of my case and it works wonderfully. Whisper quiet though make sure that you have enough slots on your motherboard for the fans, I needed to get a fan controller along with this.
