Sat at work i won't see them until friday =[ But when i get home ill be sure to have a play and see what these puppies can do

Got mine this morning. 4 x 120mm white and 1 x 140mm white. Came with a small pack of Haribo and 2 german gaming magazines.

I ate the Haribo so they aren't in the picture.

Will take a day or so the do the comparison and I may have to create a PWM to analog circuit if I want to use them more longer term.

Ordered this for my testing also http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CM-136-BX

All of my fans installed. Such a pain to get my rad back on to the roof - when I screwed in one screw, the holes lose alignment with the holes.. argh. Must have taken about 30 minutes to put that in alone!

Pictures below:

As you can see, these fans aren't as bright as the Xigmatek fans, but there are so much quieter. I'll give more insight tomorrow evening.

Temps are the same, which is a good thing as I they're not that loud.

In the box you get 4 black anodised screws, a LED cable for BitFenix cases/fancontrollers (I assume) and the fan itself.

Is it just me that feels the plastic is harder to screw into on the Spectre/Pros than most regular fans?

I had now problem what so ever. If anything, I found it easier.

Unicorn · 8 May 2012 at 21:24

Yeah the Bitfenix Hydra LED Fan controller i believe. I looked at getting one for this also but decided against it due to stupidly high shipping charges
