Antec Storm PWM 12cm Case Fans x3, Fluid Dynamic Bearing, 600-2000 RPM, Spiral Fan Structure, PWM Daisy Chain

These fans are top notch. Good power. Very quiet. I am thrilled with them. I warn you they are very sharp and will cut you if you stick your fingers near them. Older lesser fans with low RPM you can easily stop with your fingers, not these ones. They push a lot of air. They dropped the temp of my CPU by 20C by pulling out more air with these fans out the top. These do not have those annoying flashing lights. They are just straight up perfectly, beautiful old school case fans. I cannot recommend them more highly.

GOOD PRODUCT

Antec è una marca molto conosciuta ed ha una ottima reputazione per i loro case e soprattutto per gli alimentatori. Per quanto riguarda le ventole, non ha ancora molti prodotti a catalogo. Tra queste troviamo appunto le Storm 120 che appartengono alla loro linea di punta Diciamo che il loro giudizio per quanto mi riguarda è nel complesso più che positivo anche se ci sono un paio di cose che a mio parere possono essere migliorate. A livello costruttivo ci troviamo di fronte allo standard Antec. Ottime le finiture cosi come ottimi i materiali. La ventola è molto bella e il suo peso gli conferisce una sensazione di grande solidità. A livello di prestazioni direi che anche qui il giudizio è positivo anche se con qualche appunto. Al massimo dei giri (2000) questa ventola è un po' rumorosa (stiamo sui 33/34 Db) ne più e ne meno di ventole di pari livello (questa va paragonata con ventole del tipo Noctua Industrial o Iceberg IceGALE Xtra). Il flusso d'aria è al massimo di 66 CFM con una pressione statica di 2,7 mmH2O. Paragonato alla Noctua industrial iPPC 2000 da 120 (71 CFM/3,94 mmH2O) o ad una Iceberg IceGALE Xtra sempre da 120 (ben 74 CFM/4,6 mmH2O .... un vero mostro!) ci troviamo di fronte ad un prodotto che è leggermente sotto la media per una ventola High Performance. Mentre Noctua e IceGale sono indicate (ed eccellenti) su dissipatori/radiatori, queste Antec lo sono un po' meno anche se non disprezzabili. Stesso giudizio se installate come ventole per case (ci sono ventole alternative ad un prezzo inferiore che offrono un case airflow simile con livelli di rumorosità migliori - vedi Arctic F12/P12, Be Quiet Silent Wing 2, Noctua Redux etc. etc.) Ad ogni modo se vi capita di comprare questo pack di 3 ventole a 28 euro (Usato come Nuovo) queste Antec sono eccellenti. Se comprate nuove a 56 Euro (prezzo attuale) ho qualche riserva! Buone!

They’re not name brand, but they’re about half price what you’d pay for a name brand. Was looking at a set at Best Buy and they wanted more than double what I paid for this bundle of 3 fans for 3 RGB fans. I figured this was a better bang for my buck also since I don’t really care for RGB. Do note that these have no lighting, whatsoever. There is an RGB version but I got the plain fans without lightning of any kind. I’m currently using these fans as intake on the front of my desktop gaming PC. I had one sole Corsair fan that came with my case in the front but I replaced it for these 3 together, using the daisy chain setup to my motherboard. Comparing to the last time that I measured my CPU temperatures…I’m averaging a reduction of 10° C since installing these fans to the front for intake. My CPU is an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X. I haven’t overclocked or tweaked it except to enable virtualization in my UEFI. Playing Red Dead Redemption 2 got me between 30° C and 43° C and 43° C was me pushing it. This is on Ultra settings, 200 FPS, 1080, in Full Screen. This was in Saint Denis and I was in the midst of a shoot out with the cops. 42° C and up was a stretch for this. I also have a RTX 4070 Ti and 32GB DDR4 3200 MHz for more information on my setup. My CPU is cooled by an AIO water cooler. You can check my purchase history on Amazon for a review of that cooler and some pictures of my setup before I installed these fans. The CPU idles at 20-24° C when in UEFI or at Windows 11 Pro when doing nothing on the desktop. The installation was easy as can be. All that was needed that this didn’t come with was a Phillips screwdriver, which you should already have. I also used zip ties to keep neater cable management, but that’s not absolutely necessary for everyone. These fans are QUIET. I was very worried about that but on first boot, I hear no difference than before installing these fans. You can feel the cold air intake if you put your hands against the front of my case. I’m really happy with my purchase and happy with the results I’ve seen so far. Really hoping to keep on this cooling spree and eventually have a refrigerator for a PC lol. Definitely recommend these to anyone looking for decent fans at a reasonable price!

Sound is quite noticeable above 40%. The pressure of these though you can bet it wont take long to shut off. Would recommend this more for water cooling on a pc with lots of rads but not a lot of fan headers. On an air cpu cooler it will trigger high and low a lot on minor loads like browsing the web or playing a moderate game. I still give it 4/5 because its has great static performance Its got noise sure but I have owned MUCH worse.
