Pros & Cons
Pros
- ✓ Dual ball bearing rated for 67,000 hours, mountable vertically or horizontally
- ✓ 5.62 CFM airflow at 0.15 in H2O static pressure from a 40x40x10mm frame
- ✓ Draws only 0.08A at 12V (0.5W), light load on retro PSUs and controller rails
- ✓ 1m (39 inch) lead gives routing slack in cramped cases and enclosures
Cons
- ✗ 31.7 dBA at 6500 RPM is audible in a quiet room or open bench setup
- ✗ XH2.54 2-pin connector needs an adapter for 3-pin or 4-pin motherboard headers
- ✗ 2-pin wiring means no tach signal and no PWM speed control
- ✗ Fixed 6500 RPM only, so noise cannot be dialed back without an external controller
