After installing this case fan, my hard drive temperatures went down about 5 degrees Celsius from my previous case fan, which was a Zalman 92MM. The Zalman was silent, but it didn't move much air. You can hear this fan, but the noise is not objectionable to me. It is rated at 35 dB(A). The fan has two connections: 1. a small three pin connector, which plugs directly into the motherboard (fan RPM is displayed if you enter setup at start-up), and 2. a four pin power connector. Initially, I connected the three pin connector to the motherboard, but the fan speed was only about the same power as the Zalman, which was not much, but it was silent. After I disconnected the three pin connector, and then used the four pin connector instead, it really moved the air (56 CFM), but then it was audible. Hard drives don't care much for heat; a lesson I painfully learned after a hard drive failure a year ago. Since my computer runs in a fairly warm environment, especially in summer, I'm glad I made this purchase.

The product was delivered quickly, and it was just as described. I had the occasion to email customer service for a question. The response was very quick. This was an excellent purchase experience

The 92mm fans are not as easy to acquire as they used to be. I found these from this seller and received them a lot quicker than I expected. I ordered 3 fans, all 3 were new, and in the original packaging. I give the seller and the parts two thumbs up.
