80mm Crystal Blue 4 LED Fan

What the heck, an actual review on just a fan? But hey, it lights up a pretty blue color along with being crystal clear! We've all (ok , most of us) have been using case fans since we've been into computers and all of them have always been that boring and drab black color. And with the case all closed-up who cared. Now with the advent of the various window mods cool looking fans are in!

Inside the Package:

• Clear 80mm fan (duh) w/4 led blue led's
• 3 to 4 pin adapter
• fan screws
• fan grill

• Dimensions: 80x80x25mm
• Air Flow: 32.5CFM
• Noise: 28.3 dba (Ultra Quiet)
• Voltage: 12 VDC
• Current: 0.13A
• Power: 1.6W

Above you see a blue strip around the fan. That contains the led's and the circuitry that supplied the led's with power. Those case windows we sure notice (or not notice) those boring black case fans. There are various lighted fans on the market, some with just led's in the center and some with led's shining in from the side. A company called "Cre Air" makes this one, at least that's what it says on the back. Also some other lighted fans have just 3 led's, this one has 4. Below you see a picture of the Cre Air blue led fan on the cpu, and on the left you see two of those case fans with the led's in the center

Something like this does you no good unless you have a window or run your system with the side panel off. Either way you'll find just one of these fans illuminates the inside with a very soft blue tint. Since just one makes the insides glow well, imagine what several will do. These fans are not only great case fans they are also fine if your heatsink fits an 80mm fan since it puts out an estimated 32.5 cfm. If you like blue, this is for you. I admit before I was never into case lighting, but I am now. These look so darn good!

• Looks darn cool
• Brightens up the insides
• not 3, but 4 led's
• very quiet
• fan grill included (similar lighted fans do not include one)
• fine for use as a case fan or cpu fan (if your heatsink fits an 80mm fan)

• more expensive than regular case fans (of course)
