Cooling Fan Help

newegg reviews are most useful when you look at the negative reviews. The reason a reviewer gave a product a bad review may not apply to you and, therefore, may be discounted, but you should start at the bottom and work up.

I have an ACF7P and I would give it a "3". It's a great economy cooler - especially back when it cost only $25. I also own a couple of Xig Dark Knights. I'd give those a "4". It's not the best air cooler, but it is one of the best in the sub-$50 range. I also own a TRUE. It's a very good air cooler, better than the Xig, but it's pricey. If it weren't quite so expensive or if it included a fan (the original model), I'd give it a "5". As it is, the price knocks it down to a "4".

A product that simply does what it is advertised to do should never get a "5".

This post has started me thinking. I have a lot of products that I'd rate a "3" and quite a few that I would give a "4" to. But I have only one product that I'd give a "5" to. That's my Corsair TX750 PSU. That it provides reliable power (that's what it's for) gets it a "3". Quality of build, active PFC, uner and over volt and over current protection gets it a "4". That it's conservatively rated enough to provide 900 watts of power raises it to a "5".
