Sharkoon Silent Eagle 1000 Fan (120x120x25)

When you have the fan at the back of the case, it keeps the CPU temperature at a nice 30-32 degrees, depending on ambient temperature. It's very silent, I can hardly hear it.Have it at the side of your case it will cool down pretty much everything except your CPU! Now my components and my motherboard temperature never go anything above 35! Which is excellent to be honest.The solution is simply to buy another one of these fans, which is what I intend to do so that I can use it to ventilate the heat through the back of my case in order to keep the CPU cool as well as all my other important components. I just wish they did a smaller version to I could have one at the top of my case as well. The one I currently have is so noisy!This fan is a very good buy and a must have for its money! It will easily shave a good 3-4 degrees from either your CPU temp or most other temperatures on your board depending on where you put the fan.Oh, no! I just looked at the my temperatures again and it seems that my CPU has just leaped back down to a nice 33 degrees.What I will say is that you have to be running the fan at max speeds in order to be getting nice temperatures like this, although this might seems like a noise problem to some it really isn't.At max rpm you notice it, but the sound is next to nothing over any other sound in the room, I.E. when you are playing music and what not, watching a movie, or playing a game.Which is what you want really, am I wrong?Overall, I am giving this a 5 star because I don't think it's fair to knock a star off due to the fact I have to set it on turbo, my room is poorly ventilated, it gets very hot (especially in the summer) and the case is situated in the corner of the room, right next to the radiator! So with these things in mind, having to put it on turbo to get the temps I want is fine by me if it can keep it below 50 degrees in a room as warm as mine :POf course, I am getting a little ahead of myself here. This isn't entirely responsible for the temps I am getting, but it has indeed played a significant role towards getting a nice cool PC and I owe this product 5 stars for that!

Not much to say really, only that it looked ugly and just wasn't quite what I had expected. Maybe other people will like it though but it's not for me!

Great, so much quieter than 2 Corsair fans I spent 25 bloomin quid on! (considerably quieter than just 1 corsair fan too as I compared with my PC case off). Cheap, and has done the trick.**** TIP !! **** Before you even buy a new case fan thinking the existing one is too noisy and creating all of the noise, take off your computer case so you can see all motherboard and components and most importantly which fans are making the most noise when turned on.My PC is so much quieter now, it's a true relief, but I also found that my CPU fan was equally as noisy if not more noisy than my case fan which is what I first 'assumed' was making the majority of the fan noise.So i've changed 2 things to dramatically decrease the noise of my PC.1. Replaced the case fan or a much more quieter one2. Also discovered my CPU fan was equally as to blame if not more so for the noise levels!* You should be able to change your CPU fan speed on almost all modern CPU fans/motherboard fitments. I believe you can do it on 3pin and 4pin CPU fans but it mostly depends on your motherboards BIOS chip/set up settings.My CPU fan has 3 settings: FAST, MEDIUM, SLOW and it was set on FAST - so it was making a right racket and whizzing around faster than it really needed to.You will be able to change these settings when your computer starts up or restarts. You must look out very early for the 'black boot up screen' when you first switch your PC on. Look very closely and carefully as it loads this black screen with lots of technical information in text normally very quickly and it then disappears before loading Windows up.Look closely and press an 'F' key at exactly the right time to enter the CPU set up /motherboard set up configurations.On the vast majority of Windows PC's it's the "F2" key, but could be any of the 'F' keys on your computer.Press the correct 'F' key to enter the settings and then look for the menu where you can change the CPU fan speed.I simply chose from FAST to SLOW and saved and exited, restarting my computer, and the change was instant - a much quieter CPU fan!! :)Coupled with the new fitted case Fan silent eagle (the item I'm reviewing here), these 2 things have made a real big welcome difference in what was a too loud PC before.** One last thing IMPORTANT, depending on what you're using your PC for and how powerful and processor hungry the demands you make of it are, be VERY CAREFUL when adjusting CPU fan speeds or any fan speeds.Gamer's will obviously know this and probably need super fast fans, maybe water cooled, and optimally configured as gaming is about the most intense thing you can ask a processor to do - so it needs to be kept cool so it performs better and doesn't overheat and break!If like me though, you're NOT a gamer, and just use your PC for general internet browsing, Microsoft Office applications, and some Adobe photoshop digital work, then my opinion is you should be fine to slow the fan right down as your processor won't be very often working it's nuts off!!It does depend on how good the processor is, and ultimately its your choice.I'm well chuffed though for 7 or 8 quid!** REMEMBER - take your case off and then switch the PC on and physically look and hear exactly what is causing all the noise, because in my case, both the CPU fan AND the case fan were making too much of a noise, and unless I'd off took my PC case off, I'd of never of guessed or know that it was in fact my CPU fan that was just as loud if not a little louder than the case fan I'd just bought assuming that was the only thing making all of the unwanted loud noise.Good luck :)

The media could not be loaded.  Done the little video showing what you get and fitting. If the rubber grommets aren't suitable it does come with 4 fan screws. It also has a spare rubber grommet in case one snaps. The fan compared to previous Ive had runs nearly silent, and shifts a good amount of air thru the case. Temps within the case are about 5c above room temp. The fan lead thou could have been longer, my old motherboard was an Asus and the leads wouldn't have been long enough for that either. I'd recommend some fan extension cables as well, its what I've bought to tidy things up. Great fan and the golf ball styling fins do work.

While these fans certainly are quiet, they make up for it for having very little airflow.I have 3 of these replacing stock fans in my gaming mid tower and they cool OK, but no better than stock. They are still audible, albeit less so than the default case fans.If you're looking for an improvement over stock on gaming PC or graphics editing PC then I'd say look elsewhere. If you're looking for something reasonably priced and have low requirements then these aren't that bad

Utilisé avec mon NAS (x1) et ma tour (x3) ce ventilateur est extrêmement silencieux mais extrait moins d'air que d'autres de ces concurrents.Parfait pour toutes personnes qui recherches le silence avant le refroidissement.

Ich habe mir 2 von diesen Lüftern für meinen Coolermaster Hyper 212 CPU-Kühler gekauft, um meinen QuadCore entsprechend zu kühlen.Sicherlich ging es mir auch darum, nicht neben einem "Fön" zu sitzen.Die Blister-Verpackung könnte schöner sein, dient aber zumindest dem sicheren Transport von A nach B.Ausgepackt kommt eine Menge zum Vorschein:1) Der Lüfter selber2) 4 Gumminippel als Schraubenersatz inkl. Gummiösen3) 4 Schrauben4) Ein 5,25" - Netzteilanschluss mit Durchschleifmöglichkeit und einem 3 und 4 Pol-Ausgang für Lüfteranschlüsse am Mainboard.Die Gumminippel eignen sich hervoragend zum Schnellen und Leichten Ein-/Ausbau und dämpfen mögliche Resonanzen sehr wirksam, da der Lüfter dann keinen direkten Kontakt mit Anschraubfläche hat.Die Nippel werden einfach durch das Schraubenloch des Gehäuses oder des Kühlers geführt und durch den Lüfter geschoben. Dann einmal kräftig daran ziehen, den Ring aufsetzten, fertig. Hält bommbenfest.Durch den Netzteilanschluss mit Durchschleifvorrichtung geht kein evtl. wertvoller 5,25" Anschluss des Netzteils verloren.Mittels 3 oder 4 Pin-Adapter kann auf einem Mainboard oder einer Lüfterregelung zumindest die Drehzahl ausgelesen werden. Geregelt werden kann es nicht, aber das ist auch nicht die Intention.Der Lüfter dreht mit ca. 1050 Umdrehungen pro Minute. Durch das "GolfBall"-Design und die abgerundeten Lüfterkanten, wird der Luftzug nicht "gebrochen" und besser abtransportiert. Damit werden Luftverwirblungen unterdrückt, was ebenfalls der Geräuschkulisse träglich ist.Fakt ist, der Lüfter tut seine Arbeit so, wie ich das erwartet habe: Unauffällig und gut.Einsetzen, vergessen und wohlfühlen.Es gibt sicherlich viele "leise" Lüfter, die aber meistens dann keinerlei Luftdurchsatz bieten. Sollte jemand noch mehr Kühlleistung benötigen, kann zum Silent Eagle 2000 greifen, der dann doppelt so schnell dreht (knapp 2000Upm), aber dann schon in den höhrbaren Bereich vorstösst.Alles in allem: 5Sterne

Habe heute die eingebauten Lüfter meines Fractial Design Mini Gehäuses getauscht, die waren nie wirklich brauchbar. Jetzt ist es traumhaft leise. Perfekt! :)EDIT: Musste die Lüfter ausbauen, weil einer von 3en Geräusche gemacht hatte. Wollte schon retournieren, aber jetzt gehen sie scheinbar wieder. Ich werde abwarten und die Rezension in ein paar Wochen updaten.EDIT2: So, hab die Lüfter bis auf einen weiter drin, und bin zufrieden. Für 8 Euro schwer okay!

Der Lüfter ist für seine Leistung eindeutig zu laut, die leichte Brise schaffen andere Produkte flüsterleise, den 2. Stern gibt es für das Zubehör und die einfache Montage.

Habe bereits mehrere 80mm-Lüfter der Sharkoon Silent Eagle-Serie seit langer Zeit im Einsatz.Um die warme Luft aus dem Gehäuse zu saugen, habe ich nun noch die 120mm-Version eingebaut.Der Lüfter gibt maximal ein ganz leises, tiefes Brummen von sich, wenn das Ohr direkt daneben hält, es ist aber nicht einmal der durchgeblasene Luftzug zu hören.Der Einbau geht leicht vonstatten. Zubehör wie Schrauben, Gummi-Strippen (wenn möglich anstatt der Schrauben zu verwenden) und Schwingungsdämpfer sowie ein Kabelbinder sind wirklich super.Einziges Manko ist der etwas geringe Luftdurchsatz. Als Netzgeräte-Kühler würde ich ihn eher nicht einbauen.Empfehlung meinerseits ist, diesen Lüfter an der Front des Computergehäuses Luft reinsaugen lassen und einen etwas stärkeren (und wahrscheinlich lauteren) Lüfter an der Rückseite die warme Luft raussaugen lassen. Man sollte nämlich einen geringen Unterdruck im Gehäuse erzeugen, damit durch Lüftungsschlitze von alleine ständig Luft einströmt (es sollen mehr/stärkere Lüfter Luft raussaugen als in das Gehäuse reingeblasen wird). Evtl. könnte man auch die Version mit 2000 Umdrehungen des Sharkoon Silent Eagle verwenden, dieser soll aber laut anderen Berichten schon deutlich zu hören sein.
