Once installed correctly, the fan works well. But the flimsy plastic pogo pins that hold the fan in place are just that: way too flimsy. Effectively, this is an install-once-never-remove product. I had to remove it after I discovered that layer 3 of the Pibow case needs to go on first. This one-time removal, in which I promise I was very careful, already slightly damaged one plastic pin. It gave me a lot of trouble when reinstalling. This product should at least come with one or two spare pins but, ideally, that fixation mechanism should be redesigned to be way more robust.
