What is with Cooler Master these days. Are their fans all this bad?

I bought a Hyper 212 Evo exactly 1 month ago. One week ago it started chattering. It lasted 3 weeks. The last Cooler Master fan that I bought only lasted 6 months & I was blown off by customer support for that one.

No more Cooler Master products.

WTF?:mad:

I hate getting faulty hardware but when the stuff works its great.

I'd keep in communcation with Cooler Master till you are able to resolve your problem.
 
I ordered a TX3 2 months ago, came with DOA fan.

I ordered 3 SickleFlow 120mm blue led fans around the same time, 1 is dead, 1 has 2 leds out and one has 1 led out.

Also ordered 2 packs of the 5$ AR 120mm blue led clear fan deals from newegg few weeks back, one was wobbling when I installed, few days later its started making vibrating clicks and I took it out. One other only has one led working and the other 2 seem to be fine.

Prior to the purchases above I have had mostly good experiences and nothing to complain about but it seems they are lacking quality control these days. They still offer pretty good customer service though and replace items when you go through the ropes.
 
Coolermaster fans have been extremely overrated compared to listed specs, under performing compared to most other fans, and shit quality in general for several years now. I had one seize up after 6 months use in a case a couple years ago. Either their bushings are of terrible quality, or they aren't lubed properly. Everytime I go to MicroCenter, I still see the same shit fans. The numerous negative online reports about them hasn't changed my opinion.

coolermaster fans ARE garbage and the power supplies SUCK also
 
On a different spectrum of hardware I bought one of their CM Storm gaming mice last night from frys instead of a G9x for $40 Saved $10 but needless to say I'd rather have the g9x. This thing is an utter disgrace to gaming mice.
