PhanteksT30 High-Performance PWM 120mm Triple Mode Premium Fan Pack

I have tried many fans over the years and these are by far the best build quality and quietest when idle. I set the speed to the middle (2000rpm) speed and then used my motherboards fan tuning app and they are inaudible when the PC is idle. The extra 5mm in thickness seems to help push more air without needing more rpm. I noticed around a 2 degree drop in temps when idle on the CPU and motherboard and under load around the same. The fans ramp up to around 1200rpm when under load, which gives a good balance of noise vs cooling. I could change the fan curves to ramp the speed up more, but they do get a little loud when nearing 2000rpm with 3 of them up front. At 1200rpm they cool my PC better than my old fans with lower noise.The build quality is unlike any fan I have ever owned and you really see why they cost a little more when you handle them. They feel solid and very rigid with the fibre reinforced resin material they use. They also weigh more than other fans and don't feel plasticky. The weight is 230g, which is nearly 100g more than my old 120mm fans. I wasn't sure I would like how they look as a lot of the pictures online show them to be a lot lighter grey than they are. I think they look great in my all black system.The only slight complaint is that the supplied hardware isn't designed as well as it could be. The fans have soft rubber pads in the corners to decouple them from the case and cut down on any resonance. The only issue is that the long bolts they supply sit into little recesses cut into the rubber, so they make contact with the plastic fan frame rather than the soft rubber. This means the fan is no longer decoupled and fan vibration can transfer through the bolts from the fan frame, to the case. Other fans have little rubber cups that sit inside the fans mounting holes, so the bolt is completely decoupled from the fan. Does this make any noticeable difference? Not that I can detect, but I guess all cases are different, so it might not be the same for everyone.Overall these are fantastic fans and I am glad I went for these over other similar priced fans I was looking at. They are quiet, built amazingly well and have great performance. Worth every penny.

Hybrid control switch for manually setting RPM powerfull airflow 3000RPM insane watch youtube videos got 4 already! lets just say my pc is as cool as a fridge! worth it quality and dont mind the material aesthetically its not something that looks great but sliver grey its actually growing on me no RGB lights deffinatly worth the buy! phantek the new underdog flagship for PSU FANs some cases but mostly SFX PSU and Fans Highly recommended!

Great performance

Simply the best extremely fast and a little loud but if it's performance you want you can't buy better for the price.

Well, sorry noctua but I will be changing all my fans to this new phanteks fan.Not only it cools much better but it is also quiet like it should be, it is thicker yes but it wont matter in my case, as I have plenty of space. I can see a trend where manufacturers will start to make more 30mm thick fans.Option to make it max 1200/2000/3000 RPM with a switch is just A VERY NICE TO HAVE toofor more detailed tests look up gamers nexus on youtube, I can confirm all temps are down by at least 3-4 degrees on a 360m radiator cooling 5900x and this is vs nctua NF-F12PWM

If you want your computer to stay as cool as long as possible, this is the item for you.Most people want fancy colours in the case but, if you want performance over fancy lights you should get this.

In my opinion best to leave the fan switch in the middle.

Ive had 3 of these fans and they all make a slight noise in the motor at any rpm i compared side by side with a noctua both at 1200rpm the noctua sounds really nice and quiet this one is a bit louder and has that weird noise you wont notice it at all if your case has glass doors.But the airflow on the fan is WAYY BETTER than the noctua.So you have to make a choice when buying this fan or the noctua nf a12Phanteks t30:more airflow at the cost of slightly louder motorNoctua:Or super silence at the cost of reduced airflow.tested at the same rpm on both fans i could feel the more airflow from the t30s dont listen if somonelse is saying noctua has better airflow wtf.Its still a quiet fan so if you dont have a Noctua to compare it to you wont be disappointed.If you have a pc case that will reduce noise or just don't care about super silence and want the best possible performance get the phanteks its worth it.At first i was a bit annoyed but you wont hear the nose from 50cm away.
