Can I use these as exhaust on top of my case? Or will the bearing wear out faster and make more noise?

Should work fine. I have one for my intake, and one for my exhaust. You should be fine. No major signs of wear on the bearing either.

I do have these on my top of case exhaust. They do make noise at a higher rpm (Not a bother.) I control this with a fan controller. When I need them at higher speed, they are turned up. I turn them down and they are quiet. I have had them for 2 years now and they still work well.

I've noticed with these fans specifically that If you do not mount them vertically they tend to make quite a bit of unwanted noise.

Yes you can use it as an exhaust and the bearing won't wear out faster just because it's on the top and exhaust.

Fans are made to run in any orientation, people have had the problem your complaining about though. Seems to be luck of the draw, the set I have didn't make noise vertically but I didn't use mine that long.

Sort of...they bolt up and fit, but anytime I turn hard left it bumps the steering column and makes a rather loud knocking sound. It doesn't inhibit performance, but you would think the fit would be better. I plan to go with polyurethane motor mounts to alleviate the problem. When I contacted Pacesetter, they didn't help out at all. You would think that a bolt on performance part wouldn't need any chassis modification. For the price they are well worth it and made the exhaust sound AMAZING. If I did it again though, I would save up for the Kooks. If you have to settle with these due to budget constraints, make sure you get the coated headers.

You could but this isn't the best Noctua fan for heatsinks. They make a specific NF-F12 fans for heatsinks that are the same price. I personally prefer NF-P12 fans for heatsinks and behind dust filters, they perform as well as the F12 in most situations with less noise.

With the proper adapters. It can be done.Would I use this particular fan on a CPU? No.I have a couple of these fans. My opinion. They are good for case use. But I would look for something that moves a bit more air than these to use on a CPU.

nope. Assuming the sound you are hearing is from the pellet breaking the sound bearing and not from something like your gun "dieseling" the best bet is to use a heavier pellet. This will get you under 1200fps and take care of that loud crack you are hearing.

I would use another case fan over leaving the case open. I doubt stock cooler would cover full overclocking without instability.

The bearings are very good. They last a long time and are pretty fast. Just take the shields off.

These motors will only put out the sound you want them to. By this I mean it truly does all depend on the exhaust. With an expansion chamber and muffler on your bike it should be quiet enuf to ride around the neighborhood. For smell there's not much you can do about that for the fact that two strokes are just naturally smellier due to the fact that the gas and oil are mixed together. As long as you run a good spark plug, 91+ for fuel and high quality two stroke oil you should be fine.

Not too much. They are audible, by no means silent, however it's not like a plug in fan. Ill also note, my case cracked along the bottom, and the only times it's been moved were placing the pc on its side to work on it. Just saying.

Personally, I always prefer using them for exhaust because if you use them as intake you will have more dust in your cabinet and potentially more dust on and in your electronics.

It is recommended that you re-jet. I would not recommend this exhaust because it is too loud. It will boost your power and bust your eyedrums. Tech assistance is non-existent. Pay a little more for something better.

Oh, and do a push pull configuration with that hearsink and youll never have issues. I also recommend arctic silver thermal paste(one fan pushing over the heatsink, and one fan pulling and exhausting. Both fans will blow the same way)

These are the performance edition so they are loud if you just plug them in. If you use a fan controller, either external or through your motherboard, then they can be silent while still moving a good amount of air.

I haven't personally tried these bearings for that application. I do know that Boschsells replacement top bearings, those are made for a compression fit. Hope this helps.

Yes but these fans should be used as exhaust anyway (since heat rises), so a filter really isn't necessary. That is unless you have a really super dusty environment. I pull my front filter off about once a week and blow it out with a can of compressed air. It's usually a little dusty but never that bad. But you could put one on top if you wanted.

I'm pretty sure you can put a fan in the front case - just know that it will involve some deconstruction and could get tricky. The case will easily support your typical 120mm fans up top. Too many fans will cause noise though; try to limit your case fans to under 3 if possible. Three fans would be my limit. IMO the passive fan noise outweighs the benefits, this case stays cool just from its copious ventiliation.

I have mine installed as an intake and another as an exhaust.. Haven't had any issues with cross-flow or excessive heat, but I'm also running an AMD A8 with a killer fan. I got the rubber mounting pieces and it doesn't vibrate or make a sound in the case. All in all, this is a great HTPC case! Good luck.
