I hear the hard drives spinning more than the fansAs a new reviewer on Amazon would you mind marking as useful or not useful so I can improve if needed! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good, silent 140mm fan for a Fractal Design Series case *by E***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 March 2017* The Fractal Design Define series PC cases come with two preinstalled fans (one at the back and one in the front) so I bought one more of these fans and placed it in the front (so that now I have two in the front and one in the back). The effect on my CPU core temps (when compared to my previous 2-fan setup) was a mere reduction of 0.5˚C. I am pretty sure, however, that if I place the fan at the top of my case rather than in the front, the reduction in the CPU core temperatures will be around 2˚C - but as this will require me to take off the sound dampening foams from the top of my case I won't do it. Anyway, despite the rather marginal improvement on the CPU core temps, the airflow inside the case has undoubtedly improved and this will have a positive effect on the longevity of the motherboard and the things installed on it. The GPU temps, for example, were reduced by 2˚C.In order to power this fan you will have to connect it on the motherboard (on a 4pin or a 3pin male connector). If you own a Fractal case (or any other case offering voltage control) you also have the option to connect it with the voltage controller at the front of the case. You will need to buy a 3pin splitter for this ( it is cheap though - costs about £1.90). My only gripe with this fan is that it does not have a 4pin female connector and therefore it is not PWM controlled. Its connector is only a 3pin one and as such the fan is only voltage controlled.All in all, I can recommend buying one of these Fractal Design Silent Series 3 140mm case fans. It just costs £8, it is silent, you get improved airflow in the case, and a reduction of 0.5˚C-2˚C on your CPU and GPU temps. I would definitely recommend it to those owning a Fractal Design Define S, R4 or R5 case as it matches the fans that are already pre-installed. Also in case you have bought one of those budget cases that come with only one fan at the back then you should absolutely consider purchasing at least one fan for the front as this will reduce your CPU and GPU temps by at least 10˚C. ### ⭐ TOO QUIET, NO GOOD, NOT ENOUGH POWER. *by G***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 January 2019* Many of you think that quiet is better but you are all wrong.If you have a fan spinning at a very low rpm like this one does then it is not any good.You need to hear air circulating and if you cannot then it is not working well.Do you expect propellers on an airplane to spin quietly? NO! you do not.The reason these are quiet (like any so called quiet fan) is because they are not good for moving air as they are too darn slow. It is okay for some of you to say "wow these are quiet" but honestly these are useless.Do not try to tell me any difference because I know from experience these are useless.Just remember! a fan is no good if you cannot hear it moving air. These things you have to put up with if you have a top of the range PC. I bought this for my dehumidifier and it is totally useless for it. I dehumidifier has a heatsink and fins like any computer. Had I have not had to cut the wires and use the + & - wires I would have returned it for a refund but now it is useless piece of junk and I did make sure there were 12 volts and not 5 volts for the power.If you want a good fan then you have to pay for one but this in my opinion is cheap Chinese and not worth 50p.Anyone can buy a cheap fan and stick silly round stickers on it and then sell it and make it look good but these are totally garbage.Anyone says otherwise I will never believe them. ## Frequently Bought Together - Fractal Design Prisma Silent Computer Fan - PWM Control 80mm FD-FAN-SSR3-80-WT - ARCTIC MX-6 (4 g, incl. 6 MX Cleaner) - Ultimate Performance Thermal Paste for CPU, consoles, graphics cards, laptops, very high thermal conductivity, long durability, non-conductive, non-capacitive - AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-core, 16-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/51563525-fractal-design-silent-series-r3-white-silent-computer-fan-optimized](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/51563525-fractal-design-silent-series-r3-white-silent-computer-fan-optimized) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-06-14*
