Cooler Master MF200R RGB - Premium-Quality 200mm Hybrid Silent High Airflow In-Take Fan for Computer Case (R4-200R-08FC-R1)

The Cooler Master 200mm Case Fan MF200R is as described in the product description. Its noise level is just noticeable when focusing on it, but it's not distracting. For a 200mm fan, there is not a lot of airflow generated. It's enough to create positive pressure in the case but was barely felt when placing my hand near its outflow side.The RGB works great. Its colors are driven by an ASRock motherboard-specific RGB app called ASRRGBLED. I have LED strip lights in my Thermaltake computer case with an unused connector on the end of the strip. My original plan was to use a four-pin LED splitter cable attached to the motherboard that I purchased from Amazon. After noticing the unused connector on my lighting strip, however, I decided to connect the fan's RGB cable there using one of the four pin connectors that came with the splitter cable.There are eight mounting holes on the Cooler Master 200MM fan. Determining what ones to use was done by holding the new fan up to the broken one it replaced. The screws provided with the new fan worked perfectly in the threaded case holes. For cases without threaded holes, Cooler Master included tapered wide threaded screws to self-tap any case fan mounting hole.I'm happy that I got this fan. There are not a lot of case fan options available in the 200mm size. The Cooler Master provides adequate case airflow and motherboard-controlled RGB color schemes. My only wish is that it came with a four-pin fan speed connector instead of the three-pin connector. That would have given my bios the ability to control the fan's speed based on the temperature of the CPU.

Some backstory, I have a thermaltakeC31 case with 2 200mm fans up front and run an Air Cooled Build. I tested this CoolerMaster fan against both the stock Thermaltake fan as well as a cheap UpHere 200mm fan. To test I ran one fan mounted top front and the Colermaster mounted bottom front in both scenarios. The Coolermaster 200MF200r pushed more air through the case then both the thermaltake and uphere. Now that I know the MF200r pushes more air I am ordering 1 more so to have 2 Coolermaster 200mms running in the front of the case. I run the 200 MM fans at 100% and the Coolermaster is also very quiet at that speed. The 2 backside 140mm fans I have running are louder. The LED's are nothing special but for the price you get a lot of performance. Also if you are going for a Purple lighted build like I am the Purple Color you get from the CoolerMaster leds looks much better. Purple seems to be a tricky color for LEDs to pull off correctly, usually it appears too washed out or to much blue. With Coolermasters brand color being purple I assumed they could pull off a good purple color and that assumption was correct.

I bought this fan some time ago when I changed my cpu and case and wanted a better airflow.This is a good fan, but not used too much in modern cases. I had to adapt it a bit to use it on an old NZXT case and while i used that case, it worked very well. Airflow was good and performed to expectations.I have to be honest, I didn't connect it to led controller, so I am not able to say much about the lightninig performance.

Replaced an R4-200R-08FC-R1 MF200R RGB fan on my CM h500p because it was rattling after only a month (with the same fan). Fan came with less wobble than the original fans had, and no misaligned sticker so that's a plus in my book. There are better functioning 200mm fans out there like Noctua, but I don't think you can go wrong with this fan if you want 200mm fans and RGB. If you don't want RGB, look elsewhere. At 800rpm (800rpm max) they move a TON of air as long as they aren't being choked. The noise they make is more of 'windy' than say 'turbulent'. If you can't stand the sound of a good quiet room fan, you will find this to sound the same.200mm fans are notoriously unreliable still, so know what you're getting into! CM actually scores very well in 200mm fan roundups, with only Noctua really consistently being better (and IMO uglier). Just know what you're getting, a lot of people don't realize 200mm fans have these issues. 200mm FANS DO NOT HAVE GOOD STATIC PRESSURE, so filters can significantly choke them off (CM h500p mesh front works fine, component temps stayed the same from no front panel to mesh).

I am still using an older Cooler Master case in my cpu build from 2012. A different version of the 200 series fan came with the case at that time. Since then, I have replaced both fans. One was replaced with the solid red LED version of the 200 fan a few years ago. The other fan, was replaced with this one in the beginning of 2022. Both fans continue to run great. More importantly, they are quiet!

Pros:* 200mm RGB fan that fit my case (Cooler Master H500M)* moves a lot of air, quietly (like all 200mm fans, in my experience)Cons:* one of the two I purchased had bearing failure after one yearFor context, I bought the "MF 200R RGB" variant. Purchased two of these in December of 2019 as top fans on the Cooler Master MasterCase H500M (making 4 200mm fans in the case... zomg woow such airflo...). One of them had a bearing failure after about a year (machine only powered on for ~4 hours a day) and made a horrifying noise until I unplugged it. The other appears a little wobbly at this point but has yet to fail (or make enough noise for me to unplug it). RGB worked fine.All in all, this is a decent RGB 200mm fan, but don't expect it to last forever. I would probably buy a different option, if available, if making a similar purchase today. (Also, FWIW, if Noctua's 200mm fans would fit in the top of my case, I would buy those and forego the RGB, personally.)
