If you've got a slot in your case for this fan put it in no regrets
Back in my day this would be considered a full size case fan. Now it's a novelty size amongst the large fans however it does move air especially when used as an exhaust for smaller micro ATX cases.And accept screws well and it's very well measured out in terms of positioning and cable management. I'm very pleased and how quiet it is to the point that I almost have forgotten there is one in the case

Best value silent fans around.
Have been running the 120mm fans in my video editing computer for 5 years. When I swapped into a server rack case, I needed a 80mm exhaust, and this was the clear winner. Quality will last for years and the noise levels are top tier. All while not breaking the bank and keeping your system cool.

They do what they were designed to do. Choose wisely.
These fans are optimized to blow more than a normal amount of air into a restricted path. At that, and only that, they succeed.I have four of them, and they all have the same pros and cons:The pros:1) If used as an exhaust or an unfiltered intake fan, they move a better than normal amount of air. You can feel the difference on your hand.2.) They are almost as quiet as a normal Arctic fan.3.) They are inexpensive.The cons:1) They don't suck through a filter very well at all. In fact, they are worse than a normal Arctic fan in that setup.2) At high speed, they have an annoying high-pitched whine.3) Like the rest of their Arctic brethren, they are fragile. You'd better use a pair of grill guards with each. Internal wire or external finger, if contact is made, you will lose a blade. Maybe even some blood, these things are sharp.Having said all of that, I like them.I use them wherever I need a fan blowing into a restricted space or I need more air in an unfiltered location. In a usage case where you need these exact parameters, they'll do fine. But at this price point, there are 80mm fans that are either quieter or move more air (but not both.) So as the headline suggests, choose wisely.Just inspect them upon arrival and treat them gently and you'll be fine.

Good product for the price
I needed a fan for a power supply Artic seems to make a good product so I chose Artic.It fit, I had to adapt it to 2 pin from 4, had to look up a wiring diagram from Artic but I located it easily and it works just great.

Some quirks and issues
Had this for a while now. At full speed, it sounds like a server fan but not as loud as a server fan if you catch my drift. It's LOUD but not too annoying. One issue I had was that at full speed, it's so sensitive that the fan blades hit the fan's outer ring or edges and sounded like a scratching sound. I thought it was defective so I returned it and received a replacement but seems like it was designed that way. The material quality is really bad. I find that it Okie for a few days but when it gets warmed up inside of the case, the fan as a whole possibly gets soft it can easily take a new shape and then the fan blades start hitting the edgesIn addition, I plugged it into my m/b, and at full speed, it's around 4200 RPM, so not really running 5k. Not sure what that's about.Anyway, three stars on my book. One thing it did well is that it cooled my CSE-846 ~2 degrees lower and I'm speaking of HDD temps. This is currently set up as my rear fans.Updated: 1 Star, this fan performs REALLY well and performs almost as well as a server fan. It blows so much air that no other 80x25 fan can compete. I thought the fan was just defective but unfortunately, due to building materials and two returns (bought in pairs, all 4 had issues mentioned above). Therefore, I updated my review.
