Installing them was easy, I had to use zip ties for one of them because my case (Corsair 100R) didn't come with enough long fan screws to put 2 fans in the front (Where I put these) even though it has 2 spots for them
-
The included screws were extremely hard to screw into the actual fans which made them very difficult to install
-
no problems, just a little hard to install, screws wouldn't set properly but that might just be my fault
-
Awful screws
-
I didn't like the screws that came with the fans, so I used twist ties instead
-
The small one being that the LEDs do not illuminate very well, but do look good though the meshing from the front of a corsair Air Carbide 240.The larger gripe is that the screws that come with the fans were impossible to screw into the fan and i had to use two screws from the original fans that were in the case to secure these
-
The screws are great
-
Make sure u have a sturdy screw driver
-
Don't buy unless u want the wrong screws for the fans
-
They have self-threading screws, so unless you put the screws in and retract before installing you will have a very hard time!
-
The fans also shipped with what I can only assume were the wrong screws
-
As such each fan is only held in by two screws, which in itsself isnt that much of an issue, however the screws that come with the fans were useless
-
rubber connectors (instead of screws) dampen noise/vibration.
-
I personally had the best luck putting the screws into the fan, and then taking them out, *before* installing the fans in the computer case.
-
BUT - the screws are a pain in the (REDACTED) to put in
-
screws are too fat / too short
-
If you are planning on attaching them to your case then the normal stubby screws that they supply should be sufficient
-
Really tough screwing
-
The fan(s) are very nice, very nice airflow, almost no sounds, and look amazing with the LED’s
-
Now with all of those working together, I ran a stress test with Aida 64 Extreme and the temps barely exceeded 60°C during the test's full load over a 15 minute period

Keeping my overclocked xeon x3450 3.4Ghz along with a coolermaster hyper 212 evo at around 30°c-33°c idle, gaming loads at around 45°c-50°c, and prime95 max load temp at 65°c.

While playing FO4 on max settings @ 1080P, the 390 reached peak temps of 94 C (YIKES!) which obviously freaked me out quite a bit
