Easy to install

Excellent fan and color option for those LED lighting / Visual appealing computer builders. It’s also quiet running. I have one in a new build as well as 2 more 120mm case fans. For testing of noise level, I left my tower on all night a couple of nights and slept though easily non-disturbed. My system also has 6 full sized Hard drives (mechanical) so even with that added noise, I’m still pleased. I’m fairly sure these Cooler Master fans are dedicated to keeping the noise level down for those whom prefer a quality build that’s “non-disruptive” during a college kids homework time (if they use a desktop that is) or even for a gamer – however gamer, from what I understand like the sound quality of their games as well.

The trick to maintenance, is simple. Keep the internals of your desktop clear of hair, dust, etc. I’ve seen some pretty bad ones in my days that have increased the noise level of peoples personal desktop computers. Some whom have cats or dogs around should probably open their cases carefully and with a finger hold the fan blade from spinning and give a few blasts from those air canister products to clear dust and hair from particular areas. It’s highly recommended to have a professional do it for you (for those whom have never done such a thing) as doing something wrong may be an expensive disaster. There are many options to consider – static discharge, electrical current, and more. I’d recommend people with pets to (at least) after clearing out their PC (if in bad shape) to have the thermal paste replaced and even those whom smoke cigars or cigarettes (ever seen the windshield of a smokers automobile?) to properly clean other mechanical parts or circuitry to keep the board and computer safe. They do have some neat filters that you can get to place over venting areas (different connecting options) to help prevent pet hair and dust bunnies from infiltrating your tower case but not completely. However, those massive server farms people may have seen on television or a movie are pretty well built to keep dust out – built with massive micro-filtration systems and all that.

Seek out a Geek Squad worker and have them clean out your desktop and replace the thermal paste on your CPU (removal of the Computers Processor is required – do not do this yourself if you never have!) professionally. Once it’s done, if you are a pet owner, I’d suggest reopening the case under normal usage after 3 months and inspect how much accumulation of dust has acquired. From there, make logical decision to clean out your computer a couple times a years. It does not take that long in the right setting.

*** A smoker can can TAR to build up
*** A pet owner can have a massive build up of pet hair and may cause overheating and cooling issues
*** Owners of laptops also should take measures to do the same (Laptops are much more difficult to clean out, but not impossible). Compressed air canisters, in most cases, is enough to clear out a laptops venting and cooling mechanics.

Got this cooler for an older i7(LGA1150) build I cobbled together for a makeshift home server. Works great, keeps it cool and quiet under a moderate load. Very good affordable CPU air cooler that has good compatibility.
