 Very quiet, but reliable??Aug 15, 2007
By longmj82
I have had two of these in a Cooler Master Centurion Minitower for about 6 months now. For the last few months, the Scythe I have on my CPU heatsink has failed to start on bootup. It starts to spin, but ends up simply stopping. A quick spin with the finger gets it going, but who wants to open their case every time they turn their computer on? This fan has an extremely high startup voltage (8.9v!), which I think is the problem. I have the fan cable going to a Zalman Fanmate controller, which may increase the required startup voltage even higher. For reliablity's sake, I recommend picking up the "E" version which runs at 1200rpm, and only requires 4.8v startup voltage. Every scythe fan is a great sound performer, so you will still be happy with how quiet in runs!!
 Finally, a Silent FanSep 08, 2010
By Jeff Rawlins
I tried out 2 different 80mm fans before I bought this one for my media center. I started with a fan from an old Dell, a 100mm that turned out to be quieter than the "silent" 80mm fans. The 120mm has a lower speed that probably helps with the noise. The noise difference is amazing. I guess large and slow is better than small and fast when it comes to noise.
The 2 80mm fans I tried were the Stealth and the Cooler Master. Of those 2, the Stealth was the quieter one. The Cooler Master was pretty noisy.
Quiet fan moves a lot of airMar 11, 2010
By MadeInDetroit
I replaced an aging 120mm fan with the Scythe S-Flex and am loving it. Where my case used to hum like a lawnmower, it's almost inaudible now, yet I have not measured any significant changes in operating temps.
I am a believer in the importance of managed airflow in a case - move the air in through the front, out the back and make sure that your wires, ribbon cables, etc, are not blocking airflow and that your case is not filled with dust or pushed right against a wall.
VERY QUIET!!!Oct 11, 2009
By Timewarpone
Very, Very quiet. In fact the quietest case fan I have ever used. EVER!!! There is no audible noise when it is on. It may not push a lot of air so if cooling is a priority you may want to choose a different fan. I am not a serious gamer. I use my computer for video applications so noise, or the lack of it, was a major priority for me. After experiencing this fan I might just replace my other 2 - 120mm fans with this one. The manufacturer rates the longevity at 150,000 hours. The price is right at Amazon and I received my fan in less than a week with the least expensive shipping method. ( I Loved this fan so much I bought 2 more a few weeks later)
My Favorite Fan for Low NoiseJan 28, 2009
By Bob Harkin
I'm very sensitive to noisy fans, so this 800rpm Scythe fan is my favorite so far. I use it to replace the noisy 3-speed fans in Antec cases. No clicks or noise of any kind from this fan; only the sound of a small amount of moving air.
To make up for the small amount of air movement, I use a huge fanless heat sink on the CPU (Scythe Ninja is expensive but good). This works well as a conservative design with a 45nm dual-core CPU in a case large enough for the 120mm fan and a huge heat sink.
