Customer Review: Can't really recommend this unless ya want a pretty light.
Summary: 2 Stars
I've had this product in my windowed Lian-Li PC-60 for about 5 months now. I had bought it for 2 reasons: to light up my case, and to help cool my 6800gt. Now the former it does pretty well-it is impressive to look at through the window (and it's easier to install than a cold cathode light). However, as an intake fan, it seems to bring in more dust than air (and my PC is in a finished basement that I try to keep tidy). At any fan setting other than low, the VCool's fan noise is noticeable over my other fans (3 Aerocool 80mm, 2 92mm Thermaltake Silent Cats, and the 120mm cooling my Enermax Liberty PSU), especially on the highest setting. But over the past month the VCool has started to do something particulary annoying-at bootup, the VCool would rev up to a very high speed, regardless of the setting on it's fan control. The first time it did it, I thought a cable had snarled into one of my case fans-that's how loud it is. I don't have the VCool hooked up to another fan control, and I'm just using a standard molex connector to power it, and there's a free PCI slot between it and my 6800gt, so there's no obstruction to cause the racket; I'm at a loss for the cause of it's behavior. It only did this sporadically at first, but within the past week, it has become a guarranteed occurance from a cold boot. The fan does quiet down eventually, but I feel the noise it now generates, the fact that the intake is unfiltered, along with the fact that I now have an Arctic Silencer for my video card (the VCool can't reach the intake of the cooler, even with it's extension attached), outweighs whatever decorative purpose it had.
