The Vortex HDB 120mm Fan from Cougar is built with Hydro-Dynamic Bearing technology for efficient and quiet cooling. It runs at 1200 rpm, offering 60.4 CFM of airflow at only 17.7 dB. Both frame and fan blades are designed to focus the airflow into a vortex to increase air pressure and efficiency. Moreover, anti-vibration pads at four corners further help to reduce noise. By default, it has a standard 3-pin connector; however, users can opt for the included 3- to 4-pin adapter if needed.

Great fan but tough to find!

These legacy Cougar fans are getting harder to come by but they are truly awesome. I installed four of these 3-pin fans in my Corsair 4000D Airflow case (three in the front and one in the rear. At 1200 rpm they are quiet yet move a significant amount of air. The orange color is a nice touch in my otherwise all-black computer without having to go the RGB route. I highly recommend these fans!
