Antec PC Fans, 120mm Fan, PC Case Fan,120mm Case Fan, 3-pin Connector, 5 Packs

I used 3 of these fans to replace 3 top fans in a gaming computer…2 front…3 top…one in the back. The original top RGB fans tended to get wobbly and start making noise…already had front one unplugged..and then had the second one start getting noisy…2 yrs old.

I wanted to use some rubber mounting gizmos…but couldn’t find them…didn’t matter in the end since these fans are not made in such a way that they are usable anyway (need open space between mounting tabs). Did cut some rubber washers from an old inner tube to try and insulate the fans from the frame. Not sure this helped any. They do run quiet…can’t hear anything but air.

As far as the screws used…these are SELF-TAPPING screws that have a cut in the end so they will thread the plastic holes in the fan tabs. You COULD get by with using only one to cut the threads.

Fairly easy installation…removed side covers (both sides)…AZZA old style full sized gaming box. Pried top plastic cover off and leaned it to one side. Found where the fan connectors were…loosened them…all wiring on right side under the Mboard. Removed 4 screws that hold each fan and pulled them out.

The extra wires/connectors that come with these fans makes it fairly easy to get them connected.

Installed the new fans using the rubber washers after making sure the wires made it down the the connections. Taped the connections to make sure they stayed that way. After checking for “stuff” left in the computer…I gave it some power to make sure the fans worked.

With the covers back on…I’m gaming again…without fan disaster noise.

Also installed the extra 2 fans in another low end big box gamng computer used for browsing. Had some “weird” clear plasric 120 mm fans front and back that made it sound like a model T starting up…till they warmed up and got quiet. This computer’s regular HD tended to run too warm…sometimes getting over 100 F in summer (top limit for reliability?). These were installed in the front…2 instead of the original one. It now runs much cooler…by about 10 degrees F. Still have one of the noisy types in the back…makes some minor noise till it warms up.

I use the free Speedfan prog to monitor various temps….and to check the health of the drive.

I don’t understand anything about the inner-workings of a pc. I probably shouldn’t even *own* a pc if truth be told. But my fans went out and it was overheating, so I ordered these. I assumed it would be set up exactly like the stock ones. I spent a lot of time carefully tracing cords and cables and labeling them all as I removed the old fans, only to find out that these new ones did not connect *at all* like the old ones. Panic set in. With some deep breaths and careful examination I realized these fans were actually much simpler than the old ones and once I pulled out the rest of my meticulously-labelled cords, I got them hooked up just fine. All by myself. I didn’t even have to use YouTube.
And these work great, by the way. The rgb is gorgeous and they spin really well and keep the pc nice and cool. They’re quiet too!
So basically: just believe in yourself. You can do it! Even if you’re dumb, like me <3

All of the fans came in good shape and the installation was easy. The box has a molex splitter totally 6 molex fan connections. For the price and ease of install this is a great deal to add some fans without breaking the bank

These fans are great and for a great price. I’ve been using Antec fans for 2 years now throughout several PC builds with no issue. They have great color for their rgb and the included hub helps a lot when you don’t have enough rgb headers on your board!

These fans are definitely a good buy for the amount of fans that you get compared to other ones out there. When I first installed all 5 five fans (3 in the front of thr case and 2 on top) they started rattling super loud, even with my razer headsets on I could still hear them faintly if I’m not talking to anyone or listen to anything. This did indeed lowered ther temp of my pc, I cannot remember by exactly how much. But my shed does not turn into a sauna as bad as it did before. Somewhere down the line the rattling stopped. Fromtine to time it’ll rattle again and then stop. It is what it is, you get what you pay for. Bottom line it does help cool down my pc
