Cooler Master JetFlo Series Fans Review
More advanced features such as steel threaded mounting and rubber pads further improve acoustic properties while the JetFlo fans are active. It is surprising that steel threaded mounts have not become the standard yet and many fans’ plastic housing still have to be scarred by the mounting treads of the screws.
Each JetFlo fan will also come with silent mode adapters for lowering the 2000rpm speed down to 1600rpm and 1200 rpm for those who don’t have extended PWM control via their motherboard. MSRP is set at $19.99 although currently it is available at NewEgg.com for even lower at $14.99 USD for the non-LED version and $16.99 for the three LED variants.

The JetFlo120’s performance is excellent not just because of the higher RPM but even at the lowered 1600 and 1200 RPM speeds, the cooling potential is comparable to other high-end and more expensive premium fans. Having most of the corner housing be made of rubber material, results in a significant noise dampening from vibrations. The blade design also has a very tolerable noise signature compared to typical fans which have a higher pitch sound. The JetFlo 120 in comparison, has a more “open” sound quality even at maximum RPM. For its excellent value and performance, the Cooler Master JetFlo series fans receives the Modders-Inc recommended award.
