Strengths: Very Quiet operation, Easy install, Excellent flow.
Weaknesses: N/A
Summary: 2004-06-18 17:56:19 The Fan is truly a breeze to install. Is really quiet and pushes alot of circulation either into or out of a compuer. Has droped the temp almost 6 degrees internally in my highly overclocked machine. Very very good product.

Strengths: pushes lots of air, quiet, great name brand, durable plastic, extra parts, very sturdy screws, nice color, inexpensive
Weaknesses: installation requires some work, power usuage, different attachments included would be nice, no major weakness
Summary: This fan is great. I purchased four, at a great price, to add more cooling to a stock system. I have only installed one so far as an exhaust fan, but it has already dropped by cpu temp by 4 degrees. This was in a system with one intake fan and a top exhaust blowhole fan. By touch this fan shoots out much hotter air than my other exhaust, which is closer to the CPU. Absolutely great in almost every way, and as I add more parts or attempt overclocking I plan to install 2 more. They came with a 3pin psu cable, with an adaptor to a 4pin molex connector and another 3pin connector which allows many fans to use just one 4pin connector. Because of the long cord length, this is no problem.
There are only a few small problems. First, the screws really dig into the hard black plastic, leaving small plastic fragments that must be cleaned out. They require lots of force, so a good screwdriver helps alot. The icing on the cake would have been plastic attachments to use in areas where their screws don't fit well, but that isn't the fan's fault. Overall I'm very happy, and the Antec name screams quality.

Strengths: Quiet fan, works great, has an adapter for 3 to 4 pin
Weaknesses: none
Summary: I bought 2 of these and so far they work great. My case temp has dropped about 5 degrees from 46 to 41 C. Overall I'm happy. The 3 to 4 pin adapter usually costs a couple of bucks so it's nice that its included.

Strengths: Durable construction and name brand quality
Weaknesses: none
Summary: I noticed that this fan is the same as the fans that came installed on my Antec mini tower. In my experience most fans are pretty much the same, but it is nice to have a fan that I know is from a good company. I'd recommend this fan to anyone that needs a replacement or that wants to add more cooling to their computer.

Strengths: price, come with screws and four pin adapters
Weaknesses: I will say none, but see coments
Summary: for the price, they are great. my video card reported temperatures of 53 degrees celcius before installing the four fans. now it reads 43 C, didn't check on the motherboard cpu, but the point is they work! also, read about ballbearing vs sleve fan comparisons. in my opinion, at twice the price, ball bearing fans are overrated.
on the down side, (mind you I now have seven case fans in my unit) adding the four fans did increase the noise level a bit, but not to a level that disatifies me. you know what to do when there is noise don't you? crank up the volume and booooooom!!!

Strengths: Great fan; quiet; good airflow
Weaknesses: none so far

Strengths: Quiet, pushes a lot of air, comes with 4 pin adapter, price.
Weaknesses: None
Summary: I bought two of these fans to add to an Antec case with two fans already installed. The fans I purchased I used as intakes to match the two already installed pushing air out of the case. There is a slight increase in overall sound coming from the case, but it is barely noticeable. These fans are set up so that you can attach many to one power adapter or to a three pin fan power source. For the price, you can't beat these fans for amount of air/noise ratio.

Strengths: Easy installation, Quiet fan.
Weaknesses: None
Summary: 2005-07-13 16:19:04 I needed a cooling fan for my AGP card. This fan fitted nicely next to my AGP card and delivers the air needed to keep my case cool. I highly recommend this product. You won't go wrong at this price.

Strengths: pushes lots of air
Weaknesses: noisy on highest setting
Summary: this is a really great fan if you have a rheostat of some kind, because on a low setting it pushes with a good volume/sound ratio. But otherwise, it's still a good fan, just a bit noisy if you have 3 of them in a case.

Strengths: moves a fair amount of air, inexpensive
Weaknesses: a bit loud
Summary: Ordered my fan from techonweb - came pretty fast. It does it's job of moving air, although it's a little loud (not too bad though). I hooked it up to a rheobus and am satisfied with it at 7v.

Strengths: EASY INSTALLATION,VERY QUIET AND VERY AFFORDABLE
Weaknesses: NONE
Summary: I PURCHASED THIS ANTEC 80MM TO REPLACE A SIMILAR SIZE GENERIC FAN IN A MICRO ATX CASE THAT FAILED. UPON OPENING AND EXAMANING THIS FAN I COULD NOT SEE ANY REAL PHYSICAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE NEW AND GENERIC FAN I WAS ABOUT TO REPLACE. HOWEVER AS I POWERED ON THE SYSTEM THE AIRFLOW AND THE QUIETNESS OF THIS FAN BECAME APPARENT. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS FAN TO ANYONE THAT NEEDS A 80MM REPLACEMENT!!
