Technologies NZXT FZ-140mm Blue LED Cooling (RF-FZ140-U1)

This fan easily got a 5 star. With just one of these fans my case went from hot to cold. as a top exhaustTEMPERATURES:Ambient temperature inside my case dropped 8 degrees celsius and my components temp. dropped easily 2-3 celsius.NOISE:After installing this fan in the top of my case to fill up the last of my vented areas not only did filling the last spot cut noise down quite a bit, i also couldn't even hear this extra fan. With it's size and CFM's there is no need to turn this fan past a medium/standard setting which cuts down on the noise it creates greatly.VISUAL:This fan not only good off with CLEAR blades, it actually single handedly lights up the top back quarter of my case. If i didnt have a HUGE 2gb video card in my case i wouldnt doubt that one of these fans could light up half of a case. The exterior light it emitts is pretty awesome as well.2 of my good friends have been convinced by me to buy this fan and they LOVE it. Red version of this fan looks great as well.

Not to thrilled with the LED aspect of this fan as it only projects light in one direction. I can't use it for intake and get the LED effect inside the case so my only option is to use it for exhaust. Other then that it's a good fan, moves air and is quieter then stock fans which NZXT included with my Switch 810 case. I don't think it will blow the doors off the much more exotic Noctua fans but it's cheaper and looks much better. I decided to also order some Enermax 120mm's as they would be more compatible with cooling radiators which I plan to add soon. Was going to use three of these at the top of my case but will likely stick these in the front instead

I mean, how much can you really say about a fan right?These fans look very high quality once you see them in person. The LED's are bright. The fans don't wobble at all, they are very steady. The best part about these 140mm fans is that they make hardly any noise. I've had other fans that were a lot louder than these. But I guess NZXT has perfected this design. They also put out a HUGE amount of air. I had a 200mm fan, and these 2 140mm's on low, pump out more than the 200mm, on high, and they are more quiet.I bought these fans because they looked very high quality, and I own I high quality, sleek looking case, so I wanted everything to match. And these fit in perfectly. And having owned a couple different case fans before, I can tell you that these have the most air output and the lowest noise levels, and when you match that up with how they look, these fans are just awesome.

I bought a couple of these for my new build and put them into a NZXT source 210. They look great and work just as well, they do make a bit of noise and there are quieter fans out there. I do love the blue LED on my case though, it really adds a nice effect overall.5/6/14 edit: I recently bought another fan (different make) to add to my case so I moved this one to the top of the case, and now it's making a rattling noise. It wasn't making the noise when it was on the side (vertical position) but it is on top (horizontal position). The fan right next to this one on top, same make and model doesn't have this issue though.

Bought this fan to bottom mount in my case. My initial thoughts? The fan is bright, no complaints there for I had hoped it would light up my case internally, however it is quite loud, even running at less than 50% of its rated rpm's. I had to dampen it's tendency to rattle with rubber mounting grommets.Perhaps it would run quieter in the vertical position, I have not tested for this, so can only speculate with hope it would do so. It does push air quite exceptionally, so as far as that being the major attribute for any fan it fills that need quite admirably.Overall though I am not real excited about this purchase. It does contribute to cooling my case and it does glow green quite brightly, but the noise and it's tendency to rattle is a replacement waiting to happen.

It is hard to beat an NZXT fan when it comes to bang for the buck. They are reasonably quiet even at higher speeds, and they seem to last forever.They use quality parts and it shows in their longevity. They light up nicely and evenly and the wires are sleeved into one. the only downside I can find, is that with the newer motherboards all having four pin connectors for more accurate ventilation, I would have preferred a four pin sensing motor rather than three. But that is certainly not enough to take away any stars as I am sure they are available for more money.

My Phantom 820 case is running 4 200 mm fan, 2 stock and 2 FZ version, plus 3 140 mm fan, 1 stock and 2 FZ version.They all are extremely silent running at 25%, and still not so loud running at 100% while gaming.They're much more efficient than the stock ones, providing better ventilation to my 770 SLI.No cons, no issues great product.

I am going to start off with the pros: The fan lights up my NZXT Guardian case beautifully. That is about all that works however...Now for the cons:This fan doesn't even come CLOSE to the 83.6CFM advertised. My 3 120mm fans (also NZXT, not same model) each blow twice as much as this model. Very disappointed, I bought this fan simply for the air movement, not to waste a fan slot.In the process of returning now. 1 star for the false advertising.
