The good: It's a fan. It moves air. It seems to be reliable. It has a long enough power lead that it will reach most parts of a midtower case.
The bad: It's not a particularly quiet fan. There is a certain amount of nouse created by moving air around. You WILL hear this fan in action. When I added this as a front case fan (to an Antec Sonata III case) it was noticeably louder. I'd say it's quieter than the average fan but certainly not silent.
The ugly: the silicone plugs (to be used in place of screws to fasten the fan to the case and keep the noise damped) are difficult to install, can only be used once, and are basically useless. After an hour of yanking on these things with needlenose pliers I had one installed out of four. So I gave up and used screws.
So, that's about it. For some reason my motherboard won't report on the speed of the fan, but that may be a motherboard issue so I can't ding the fan (yet).Get more detail about Zalman ZM-F3 120mm Quiet Case Fan with Silicone Pins.
