Is the 52 cfm rating for one fan or both? I need as much air airflow as I can get without being too noisy, Thanks

sadly it's probably neither. 140mm versión moves a lot of air, but you can barely feel the air in this ones. i also purchased the sp120 twin pack and they move a lot of air, and they are not (too) noisy. i didn't checked the noctua, but tom'shardware has good reviews of them. you also need to check if you want it for the cpu or the case, and check static pressure, it seems this ones are better for case cooling.

Do bear in mind that the rated 52 CFM is at the best possible scenario, where nothing is blocking the fan in front and/or behind it. Once you have a filter, it'll reduce that 52 CFM. Also, in my opinion, I don't think these fans are overly quiet.

Hi J.Carrol, the side fans are 120mm. There are two fans locations, so you can put 2 120mm fans. Since they are not filtered, I would suggest using them as exhaust fans or you will pull dust into the system. If you get a filter that covers the area, then use the fans as an intake. The case comes as a negative pressure setup. I changed my case to a positive pressure setup. I also had custom filters made and now use the top 200mm fan as an intake and everything exhaust out the rear now. The case is great, however, I never like the fans on the side. I replaced my side window. Here is a video I did showing that in case you ever get interested. I personally think it looks better without the side fans. The system is much much quieter now also. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNVp0_7dy4Y

2 230 mm and 4 140 mm. There is more than enough airflow in this case. There is a low and hi fan speed button as well.

I currently have no extra fan at this location and am using a single EVGA 660ti video card. I would highly recommend a quiet 120 mm installed here if you are running a SLI Graphics system or you are experiencing hi temps during game play.

I don't own either of those fans but this fan does move a lot of air. It is about as noisy as a window box fan but blowed 10X more air.

Hello! The fan blows a strong amount of air but will only be as cool as your AC setting allows. Hope this information is helpful!

Just use the provided fan and I'd you dislike it then you should get a new one. I'm currently using the stock fan.

forced air but only one fan not dual as described but more than enough power! 2 heat levels.

This fan is three speed. I wrote to Lasko and here is what they said:CFM- 3160/LOW 3320/MED 3460/HIGHJust to reiterate what I and a lot of other reviewers have said: This fan puts out a ton of air and is pretty loud, especially on high. Construction is very solid. If you want to move a lot of air and you are okay with the noise it's hard to see how you could do much better.

My room for the fan is about the same size as yours and I feel like it does a great job moving air, just as well as my previous one which was actually 48". I love how much of a smaller footprint it has and how much closer to the ceiling. By the way my ceiling is standard height. I haven't needed to use high speed yet.

Yes. This is one wonderful fan. You will love it regardless. I have two and they keep my house cool with the aid of one air conditioner.

Dude, That's a representation of the size differences. One fan should be listed. lol

I have the PC behind my monitor. I honestly can't tell you if we have 2 or 3. Anyone out there in Amazon land have quick access to the cover to count the fans? Sorry. So far no problems and cpu runs cool. I do take all precautions to always keep items away from top and side airvents.

Cody.. Which fan did you end up purchasing. Doing the same thing. Current fan I am using is not powerful enough.

I compared specs of this against the newer FFRS1222Q1 and the only difference seems to be the CFM (cubic feet per minute) airflow rate at highest speed, being 500 on this one and 339 on the new one. Additionally this one claims to cool 640 sq ft, while newer one is just 550 sq ft, probably a result of a lower fan speed. Not sure why they would make a new model just to lower fan speed. Maybe it's quieter, but there's nothing in the specs for that.

Wondering those specs myself and I found this on another website:CFM/AMP Information:Inline Fan 4" - 171 CFM / 1 AMPInline Fan 6" - 435 CFM / 1 AMPInline Fan 8" - 745 CFM / 1.7 AMPSInline Fan 10" - 780 CFM / 2.1 AMPSInline Fan 12" - 1060 CFM / 2.5 AMPS
