    Depends on what you are planning to do with that fan.

    If you are going to mount it on big cpu cooler its very nice choice cause of the huge static pressure and the straight airflow.
    If you are planning to mount it at case wholes, then there is other choices better than penetrator series.

    Simple answer is no, i bought one to try out against a few others i had.

    They are useless on Radiators and there are far better quieter fans for open air.

    Was thinking of using it on my TRUE-120Ex to replace the Zalman F3

    Are these fans also good for case intake, I have a LianLi PCP-80 Im thinking of using this for intake or let it sit at the edge of the harddrive cage area to help push air.

    Scythe GentleTyphoons are about the same cost and are much better as both a case and cpu/rad fan

    These fans look to be good for the intake or specific air direction. From what I've read they aren't that good with static pressure, but are made more to channel air into the case (good input fans to move air over hard disks or blow fresh air into the vid card or something).
