The replacement could not have been any easier. Noticable increased air flow too.
However, the online specs claim "Life expectancy" @ 300,000 hours while the package states @ 50,000 hours. I guess I should just hold my breath?

I got this for my Dad's work computer that needed a new case fan. This one did the job (so far) - runs quiet and simple installation. No flashing lights or anything, just your plan vanilla fan. For 10 bucks and my local store had it, I picked it up on a Sunday and his computer will be back to work on Monday.

I have an old computer with 70mm fan. I had a hard time finding the exact replacement and bought the bigger fan and adapted it. This fan is quiet, I barely can hear it. The hard drive makes way more noise than the fan. We'll see how long it lasts, so far excellent hardware.

Simple fan upgrade to enhance performance

The Gateway computer i bought from Best Buy about two years ago didn't come with a rear exhaust fan for some reason. I left it like this for a while, but then I upgraded my vid card recently and realized temps on the gpu were getting a little high since I did some overclocking. Obviously my case started to get a little warm inside and so I purchased this fan and installed it very quickly ( literally a minute or two), booted it back up and watched my gpu and case temps while playing some games, using ATI Tray Tools and SpeedFan to monitor them. Case temps went down maybe 5-7 degrees to around 30 celsius. Gpu temp went down about 6-8 degrees to around 52 on idle, on load around mid 60's.
Bottom line, the fan works and moves hot air out.
