Vantec Stealth 92 mm Double Ball Bearing Silent Case Fan - Model SF9225L

Comment:
I bought this to replace a stock noisy fan which came with my Dad's Inwin case. Although this fan is much quieter, I find it does not push out as much air as the nosier Powerman fan (the Inwin case came with). My Dad's Inwin case only has one rear fan, so I noticed his system temperatures are a little higher but not alarming high. Hence, I think this fan lives up to the "stealth" name and it comes with a life time warranty.

I have been using Stealth fans for a number of my builds over the last six years. During that time, all of the fans have functioned flawlessly and remain quiet. These 92mm fans move a surprising amount of air for their noise level. I have two mounted in the front of my Antec case and the sound level is excellent.Highly recommended for quality, value and performance.

A very good case fan for the price. Moves quite a bit of air but even with 4 of them in my system it is still quiet. Good build quality smooth installation.Highly recommended product!

I use these fans on alot of my builds to keep noise levels down when useing budget cases that are thin walled. It's alot cheaper than useing sound dampening material or heavy duty cases,prefering to use the bulk of my budget on the guts of the machine. Placeing one of these reversable fans at the front of your case aimed at your hard drives will reduce your hd temps by at least 10 degrees.

I bought two of these for the front of an Antec Titan case I just purchased from here, will recommend to anyone who uses 92MM fans. Will for sure stock up on these.

needed some clooling on the cheap, this is working as an internal fan with the zalman bracket (sku 9985) worked very nicely.

Comment:
good value for 10 bux. cheaper than a nexus and its pretty quiet. the cpu fan is louder anyways so unless u have a super quiet system, u wont hear this fan

If you're looking for a low CFM reliable fan, running 24/7, then this is it. However, if you're looking for a lot of airflow, consider the Zalman ZM-F2(SKU 9985) which blows 56 CFM.

This seems to be an excellent product and a great value, although there is some buzzing from the double ball bearing motor. Ideal replacement (similar airflow) for a higher-rpm 80mm fan if you have a case with a hybrid 80/92mm mount like the ASUS TM-231. I just setup a small server using this case, an SPI 120mm 400W power supply with an AMD X2 3800+ CPU (C&C enabled) and a 7200 rpm RAID mirror. There were no thermal issues under load--chassis temp stays under 40 degrees, and under 35 degrees at idle. Thermal profile is similar to when I used a Zalman ZM-F1 (without the quiet mode adapter), and this setup is much quieter. Durability should be excellent with the low rpm speed and a high quality double ball bearing design.

Bought this to replace a case fan that had a tendency to vibrate and rattle due to it's horizontal mount (3 different fans in fact). The low RPM of the Vantec coupled with it's decent airflow fixed that problem nicely. So quiet you can hardly even tell it's running.

I got this fan a while back, and let me tell you after 2 years it's still running very strong. If you don't have a filter infront of it, this fan will push quite bit of air, plenty (perfect) for heatsinks designed for 92mm fans. For a case fan, I would recommand using it on the front and back but not on the side panel, because it would generate some moderate vibrations which will cause noise.

I got this one with an XP-90, and seriously, i have the computer mounted on my motherboard box just in front of me, still doing som testings, and i cant even hear the fan. If you want something quiet, go for it. After seing the temps i have (38c load on cpu) i would maybe have a panaflow medium that could scale down the RPM for quietness without compromising headroom if you want to OC higher. Still a goodbuy.!

I bought this fan to pair with a Thermalright XP-90. It relaced a stock fan, It has made a big difference in the noise output.
