Can definitely not recommend
As careless as I am, I directly bought eight pieces to avoid having to buy the expensive noctua fans. I used them in various switches, firewalls and a Flex-ATX power supply.
Of the eight fans, five (!) are now broken after less than three months. All of them had bearing damage, two even sprayed their grease out of the bearings in the respective device.
Besides, the fans are clearly audible even when they are not broken. Somehow they don't sound like 19db, at least I would have expected them to be quieter.
I always operated the fans according to the manufacturer's instructions, and I don't think they got too hot at about 40°C. I can't recommend them to anyone. So I can't recommend them.
If anyone is looking for an alternative, I now use this:
(40 x 40 x 20, NO PWM, NO CONNECTOR, CHF 2.57)

The Digitec range is unfortunately a bit "thin" here.... and also the Noctua fans (NF-A4x20 & NF-A4x10) are, for whatever reason, much more expensive here than elsewhere.Pro
- Budget compared to the alternatives on Digitec
- Screws are included
Contra
- Expensive compared to the alternatives from other suppliers
- Extremely short life
- Loud
Super👍
Pro
- runs great even with 7.2 V and it goes up to 12V!!!
- The 3te cable can be disconnected and he still turns the same for the modelers ;)
- Super as rc car engine cooler usable
Contra
- Nix
Does what it has to do, small, quiet and powerful.
Pro
- small
- Quiet
- Efficient
Contra
- None yet as not in use for long enough
Runs
Although the fan is marketed as 'Xilence' - i.e. silent/quiet, it is inevitably louder than a fan with an 8cm or even 12cm diameter due to its size alone.
I have installed it as a replacement for a defective fan in a 2.5" 4x SAS chassis, where the noise is not disturbing either; the temperature parameters of the disks suggest that the fan achieves the necessary throughput and pressure.Pro
- Functionality
Contra
- Noise level
Excellent meets my expectations
Pro
- very quiet
- Inexpensive and does the job perfectly
Perfect to cool down the SAS controller
I printed on my 3D printer the holders for this FAN and I'm cooling down the SAS controller and SAS expander.
Pro
- Size perfect for SAS controller
- Powerful
- Silent at low RPM
works well, was available immediately, cheap
Pro
- funzt
- gta iv runs a little more smoothly xDD :D
- AMD chipset now cooled
Surprisingly good performance for the price
Packaging kept very simple. No unnecessary accessories. Therefore less waste.
Pro
- Runs very quietly
No noise, perfect.
I had to replace the cpu fan on the Synology DS411 itself. If it is working, it is too slow and the nas says it has stopped. I had to try and it was not specified if compatible or not. So the negative point is more so that others don't do like me. Otherwise it is perfect and quiet.
Pro
- Muffler
Contra
- Not compatible with Synology DS411
Good for the price but a little too loud
Bought these fans to replace the annoying original fans on my USG Pro 4.
They are definitely better than the originals, but still very loud for the size.
The Artic Cooling or Noctua versions are much more expensive, but they are also correspondingly quieter.
You get what you pay for...Pro
- Price
- Fits in Ubiquiti USG Pro 4
Contra
- Volume
Installed in a MagicMirror
Fulfils its purpose
slightly noisy at maximum
I advise to adjust the speed in the bios to reduce the noise.
Also depending on the room the noise can vary.
But at this price it is very good.Pro
- price
Does what it should
Feels 10 times quieter with twice as much air flow as the original cheap Chinese fan on my 3D printer (Anet A8).
However, it is still very audible in a quiet office environment, which probably can't be changed much with such small fans.Pro
- (in relation to size) strong airflow
Just in case for a short thime is ok, but when is on full speed can be noise!
To cool a small things for examle an m.2 ssd is ok. noise
