Whisper Fan 360 Green

These fans are nice, You probably should buy a 360 tool kit to install these as to not mess up your case. If you have the kit, it installs in about 10 minutes. easy easy easy. There was no directions with this thats how easy it is. The lights looks cool, it sounds very different- my old fans would spin at max speed and sounded like a vacuum cleaner, with these I can play the most graphically demanding games (Crysis 2 and Black Ops) and its still really quiet compared to before. I have to ad that only one of my fans spun prior to installing the new ones, so my xbox was exceptionally louder than a normal xbox, which could be why I am so impressed with these compared to the other reviews. But good stuff, especially if you need the upgrade.

Well there are some positives and some negatives to this fan...
POSITIVES
-Does seem a bit quieter. (don't forget to load your games to your hd for quieter operation.)
-Seamless installation. If you are at all familiar with the inside of your xbox than this will go in, in a minute or two.
-Although I cannot prove this, it seems to be pulling more air out of the box, so I assume more air circulation = cooler xbox.
NEGATIVES
-The LEDs look cheesy. If this kind of thing annoys you they really aren't that bright, and...
-The LEDs went dead within a few hours of running time. serendipitous, I know.
-Its still loud!!!

OVERALL
This a great product if you play a lot and are trying to keep your xbox a degree or two cooler, but there are so many fixes for the common problems(xclamp, pennies...) and unfortunately for the user I think when we get 3RROD or it starts freezing up we think its not getting enough air and replace the...Read more

I needed a new fan set because one of my fans stopped working. I asked a buddy who is huge into xbox gaming and he said they were pretty solid. I was going to buy an original OEM replacement set; however, I figured the extra air flowwas worth it since my xbox (elite, 2007 model) is getting older.

I got the green to match xbox default colors. Honestly, I did not care about the led lighting and would have purchased a non-lit version. However, the green glow hitting the wall behind my xbox is not annoying. Its kind of cool; they are very bright.

As for air flow, there is no way to test this; however, there is a good, warm breeze coming out of the back of my xbox as expected. I did compare the blades on this versus the original. These blades are slightly larger because the middle of the fan is ever so slightly smaller and the blades also are ever so slightly deeper.

In all, I'm pretty satisfied with this.
