Surprised how good it is
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

I needed a slim fan to fit in the front of my PC case. I wasn't particularly bothered about how loud it was but after fitting it is running quietly. It's a 3 pin fitting so I cannot adjust the fan speed but for creating a bit of airflow through my PC case, and for such a low price, I think it's a great product.

Clicking noises.
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

I needed a cheap, thin fan. This was a cheap thin fan which made clicking noises. Poor quality I assume. I know being thinner the tolerances are probably less, but there's really no excuse.

Moved a lot of air though, so if you get a good one it'll do a job.

Great performance for a slim fan
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

Great little fans. Love the look of them and at 15mm thick they are just slim enough to fit my case.
While the performance obviously won't be as good as standard width fans, it is very good for a fan of this thickness and moves a good amount of air.
They run quietly (not at full load) and I've had no issues running them at low voltage.

My only real criticism is the ugly red/yellow cable. Sleeve it, colour it black, wrap it, whatever but leaving it like that makes the fan seem like it is poorer quality than it really is. Not a big issue but aesthetics are important in a pc too and shouldn't be overlooked

Good if you're tight for space
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

Got these to replace the heffers that that came with my case as I needed more space so I could squeeze a Z370G motherboard into the chassis of a Corsair Carbide 240, nothing special about them apart from they do their job, Bit over priced for what they are hence the 3 stars

Good quality, quiet computer fans.
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

Great fans, nice and quiet, supplied with anti vibration rubber mount and metal screws, (can use either) and a 4 pin molex converter.
Also provided was a small 4 pin cable, I mistook this as an extension cable, it is however a speed reduction cable.

Almost perfect - aside form a strange grinding noise coming from the motor
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

Used this as a replacement fan for my GPU heatsink ( Accelero Mono Plus ). Performance wise it works well. I have it running at 7v and the noise isnt too bad at all. The high pressure keeps my overclocked GPU well below 80c at full loads even after 1 hour. However, then im within 1 meter of the case, I can hear some not so nice characteristics from this fan. Mainly a grindy/gritty sound coming from the motor. I disconnected the fan and ran it outside the case to hear how it sound when unimpeded and the grindy noise still exists. As I move the fan around and change its orientation from horizontal to vertical the noise changes, as if theres something in the motor moving around.

Having said that, im keeping it as I sit far enough away from my case (about 3 meters) to not notice the noises. Its performance on the heatsink is great and it is quiet apart from the gritty motor noise. For the low price, its a good fan.

Note: I also have a slip stream slim fan ( 2000rpm ) and its not as good as this fan in every regard.

These are the best for the office

These are the best for the office, just enough air to keep cool, quiet and very long lasting product.

Look like thin Gentle Typhoons. Don't perform like them.
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

Significantly Louder than the stock fans. By far the loudest component in my PC. I'd go for the non-PWM, black ones next time.

They have a ticking noise on start up and low rpm. Wind noise at mid to high rpm.

Quiet
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

Thes fans are quiet, and I really like them. You get a short extension cable in the box with a resistor inline that reduces the voltage the fan gets, which makes it pretty much silent due to the reduction in speed. Everything is curved in the airflow too, which is Silverstone's attempt to reduce noise, as straight lines are apparently more noisy than curved ones when it comes to grilles. I have their GD08 HTPC case too, and that ethos is demonstrated there too.

Product Description

Built with the same design as the Air Penetrator AP121 computer case fan, the USB version retains all the great qualities that made original fan a hit with computer enthusiasts (see video). Instead of using it inside a computer case, the AP121-USB is made for use on a desktop to cool the computer users. Requiring less than 1W of power from the USB port, it is also a great alternative to using air conditioning or traditional house fan in the home, office, or on the go with a laptop!
