Antec Big Boy 200 - 200mm Tricool Computer Case Fan

My installation is a departure from most applications. I wanted to convert a glass china cabinet into a multiple use AV equipment and display case. Since it wouldn't have served my purpose to leave the cabinet door open, I resorted to modifying it to provide adequate ventilation so as to avoid overheating of my sensitive electronic equipment, which throws off a good deal of heat. The cabinet has an elevated "floor" about 4 inches off the carpet, so I cut oval holes large enough to accommodate grommets that I also purchased from Amazon, through which I ran the cabling from behind the cabinet and into the interior from below. That solved two issues; how to get the cabling inside and, importantly, how to provide a source of cool air as the cabinet was exhausted. The cabinet top has both a finished "ceiling," with a small "attic" or air space above, and then is covered with a "roof" - that's 2 separate layers. I took the roof off and cut two rectangular holes in the ceiling to accommodate 2 oak louvers that I stained to match the finish of the cabinet interior, so the interior looks very professional. Some people have remarked that it looks like it was factory made that way. Now to the installation of the case fans; I fabricated a new roof out of 3/16-inch mahogany veneer in which I cut two (2) holes to accommodate the 2 Antec Big Boy case fans, positioning them so they exhaust upward into the room, running the wiring up to the top side. I sealed the edges of the case fans to the roof and the roof to the top of the cabinet by applying some caulking to ensure that air would be pulled from below, rather than leaking into the attic and then immediately exhausted. I had a variable voltage transformer with a in-line controller that I Used as a power supply, directly wiring in the fans on the 12v side and added a 120v AC cord to the other. That completed the installation. I can vary the speed of the fans and, unless I turn them up to maximum rpms, it's very difficult to hear them running. They do a great job of creating a negative pressure inside the cabinet that effectively draws cool air from below to keep my electronic equipment cool. I'm very pleased with how well the project worked out and extremely happy with the amount of cooling it provides. I'd recommend this fan to anyone who wants a high flow at minimal noise levels.

Exact replacement for the fan that stopped working. The replacement was quick and easy. Unplug the old fan, remove the screws holing it to the top of the case (remember to save these to reuse, new ones don't come with the fan), install new fa and screw back to case. Plug in and go. This fan is as quiet as the original. It does not have the led illumination that the original fan did, but I had turned them off 10 minutes after powering on the computer for the first time. The speed switch is nice if I am overclocking and want the additional air movement. My system temp is usually 2-3 degrees f. higher than the ambient temp.

This fan is advertised as a 200MM, works great but for this case (HAF X) the bolt holes do not quite line up with the cases orginal holes. I like the veriable speed but have to open case to switch speeds. Noise is just about illiminated, quietest fan in the case. really cannot tell if fan is operating at full speed or not. I would recommend this product to anyone but be aware the fan is a little bigger than most 200mm fans.

I bought this case fan for the unusual application as a twelve volt solar operated greenhouse ventilation fan. I found this fan to be adequate for air movement in my small greenhouse. It brings the internal temperature down about ten degrees or more and helps to remove excess humidity. I have it set up as an exhaust fan and if it stands the test of time I will be purchasing and additional fan as an inlet. It is now more than one year after I installed this fan in my 5'x7'x6.5' green house and it still comes on every day with the sun from the solar panels and stays on for several hours after the sun goes down until my temp. sensor automatically shuts it of below 75 degrees. It survived an E. Wash. State winter an many rain storms. I am updating my review here Today because I am very satisfied with the fans performance in the application that I am using it for and I am here to purchase a second fan as I previously stated over a year ago.

The original fan in my decade old Antec 1200 case finally failed and this was the perfect replacement. It doesn't have the blue LEDs like the original one did, just the pre-drilled holes. I swapped the 3-speed fan switch case with the original so it fits neatly in the case, leaving the LED on/off section empty. Very quiet. I would definitely recommend if your fan needs replacement/

Schnelle Lieferung.Sehr gute Verpackung.Produkt funktioniert einwandfrei.Der Lüfter hat verschiedene Geschwindigkeiten die man über einen Schiebeschalter einstellen kann.Ich meinerseits habe die langsamste Geschwindigkeit eingestellt.Reicht völlig aus,spart Strom u.vor allem das Betriebsgeräusch.Auf schwächster Schaltstufe kaum hörbar u.dennoch super Kühleffekt.Temreratur von Mainboard u.übriger Hardware sinkt drastisch u.das selbst bei niedrigster Schaltstufe.Außerdem erhöht sich ja als positiever Nebeneffekt die Lebensdauer des Produkts durch die niedrigere Drehzahl.Ist wie beim Auto je höher die Drehzahl desto niedrieger die Lebenserwartung.Beim Lüfter ist es der Durchmesser hier von 20cm beim Auto der Hubraum.Ist eben alles Physik.Ein Top Produkt mit Top Verarbeitung u.das zu einem wirklich moderaten Preis.Den Big Boy kann man nur wärmstens empfehlen u. den Verkäufer auch.Immer gerne wieder.

Just had to replace this fan after 7 years of use, (with another identical fan) it started making a bit of noise but still worked fine. Excellent that the fan was able to run properly for such a long time and even then was still working fine for cooling albeit making noise. Highly recommend this fan.

6年前に買ったNine Hundred Two V3のトップ・ファンが、昨年からカタカタと接触音がし始めたので使用停止し、代替ファンを探していました。 200mmのファンは多種ありますが、ネジ位置等に不安があり、純正品を探しましたが、最初は6千円以上もしていました。 最近は３～４千円と安くなってきたので購入し、無事交換終了しました。 やはり純正品はネジ位置も合い、安心できますが、ほかの一般のファンに比べると２～３千円は高いかもしれません。

Gran ventilador de 200 mm perfecto para ponerlo arriba o en un lateral para meter/sacar aire. Además de las 3 posiciones de velocidad, también se puede controlar por Placa Base por DC.

Come sempre Antec non si smentisce. Comodissima la possibilità di regolazione della velocità che la rendono silenziosa e performante. Ottima portata rapportata alla silenziosità.
