because you can place the fans anywhere in the case, you can add fans on top, the front or back. i think the art work on the box was just to show the fans

It's just Corsair's model#/part# for their Vengence Airflow Memory Fan. If I had to guess, it's probably short for Corsair MemorY AirFlow (capitalizing the C, M, Y, A, and F to come up with a part #). Hope that helps! I have it myself, and it works well. It's very quiet, and the rotating fan logo looks cool if your PC case has a window. I definitely recommend it.

Chances are it pushes less air than you're default fan, at least it did for me . I was debating between a new card or new fan, i should have chosen a new card because I've had to buy one anyways

there is no name on the PSU. Someone may know but when i bought it, my PSU came DOA. I had to send the whole case back, and ended up buying a different one. If you are buying it for the PSU and case together, I would reccomend another case, because this PSU is not reliable and I have heard that it has even caught on fire for some people. I bought an Imicro MATX case/psu combo and it has worked faithfully for 6 months.I would add that if you just want the case it is a great pickup for the price. Large, sturdy, roomy inside. Swap out the PSU and it is a good case. For a PSU and case combo go elsewhere. there is no name on the PSU. Someone may know but when i bought it, my PSU came DOA.

Mine does also so i think your ok. thats probably the internal transformer or internal cooling fan. check with the manufacture to be sure.

Hmm yeah that's weird, no its not suppose to be loud. Id suggest taking a video with your phone.. sending to your email then id shoot an email to Corsair customer support with the video you took. They have great customer service they should be able to help if any problems may exist. but for your question, no the fan isn't suppose to be loud.

Here is exactly what I suggest.Call Corsair yourself and talk with Tech Support.That is what I did when mine arrived.They are pretty nice and I would think they will know what you can and cannot do in regards to hooking it up.If I knew I would tell you but I do-not want to guess.If you go back to my lengthy Post on reviews you will see that I had the Geek Squad come and hook mine up.It had no sound and we could not figure out why.The Geek Squad guy did finally figure it out.Terry

I don't know. If it is new it might be a defect. I have 2 of these units and there is a clear difference in the fan from high to low. Mine have been going strong for a year now....one of them was on my boat all winter running 24/7 and still works great. I'd either check with the manufacturer or send it back. Good luck!

I had the same thing happen- I opened a ticket on the corsair support website http://corsair.force.com/ You'll need to register first so you can log into your account to request an RMA. I didn't have some of the necessary info but I did have an email of my receipt so that did it. It was super easy, good luck!! : )

I have 4 of these on a H100i and haven't had any problems. You should return it and get a replacement. There is always a chance that a part will be defective. It is just how lucky you are. Corsair is still the way to go. These fans rock. Or the CoolerMaster JetFlo

I had the same problem when I ordered mine last year. They said they were out of stock and that I had to keep contacting them to find out when it would be in stock, then they would send me a new one. I really don't have the time in my life to do that. Unfortunately I really really like this fan. It is so quiet and it works way better than any other I have tried. My husband just stole mine fore his computer because he hasn't found one that works as well, so now I am stuck making a decision...buy another one because it is a great product, knowing there is no pass through...or refuse to because of the false advertising about a wire??

I have preordered this case and have been ordering the items that I know that I will need for this build. I am assuming that this may also be a way for Amazon to track what you are ordering that either is like this item, fans, radiators, fittings, etc. and then suggesting these items to potential buyers. Basically, if this case is located in the computer parts category and I am making purchases from that same category that are compatible with this preordered case, then it's pretty obvious I am most likely getting the items I need for my new build.

I don't sell any parts. Most of the people answering questions are people who bought the same unit and are just trying to help others decide whether to purchase the unit. I would think the manufacturer could tell you where to get the part, otherwise I would remove the bad fan and see if the local electrical supply has one that will work. I haven't had any fan problems so far.

It sounds like you have received a broken unit. The left button should turn the large center fan on ( it does on mine). I have had mine for about 5 or 6 months and it works just fine. I was waiting a little longer before i wrote my opinion on this product,for me its: so far so good.

Sorry my fan was not working too,for a week one of the fan stopped working ,since we throw the box we can't return it to amazon,they have to improve this product because the appearance is good but the performance is bad.

Mine does this too, I was told that the fan is turning on and for some reason it is surging. It only does this when in standby mode, does yours do it when in use as well or just stand by?

Hi Red, I have mine mounted in the bottom of my Corsair case as there is a filter across the area and i draw the air in, but yes that's what its made for! !Just watch which direction the blades turn after you connect it to the MOBD. If its blowing the wrong way turn off the computer, remove the fan connection from the MOBD and turn it over and remount it and reconnect it to the motherboard! Be sure to ground yourself by touching the power supply case before you touch the Motherboard. That will remove any stactic charge that may have built up on your body! I tell you this as some forget and don't and mess up a part of the board. Simple Precaution !
