    Thanks as I have no idea what the difference is between them but keep getting told the stock plastic Align one warps to often.

    I'd go with the Align one myself (but haven't tried the other two). There has been speculation that the original GForce fan (the HE one) was actually designed incorrectly, with the fins the wrong way round, hence the release of the second one with the fins the same way round as the Align fan (and all others?). The HE one is supposedly be not as effective at cooling as the stock fan.

      I'm using the Align one in my LE. I run my engine at full tilt nearly all the time, and don't have a problem with cooling!

        Think im running the GFT6111 G-Force Super High Output Metal Fan For Trex 600N

        Its a good quality fan!

          I'd be more concerned about the balance of the fan than it's cooling capabilities. For instance I know the QuickUK fan is absolutely perfect for balance, I've seen other examples that are miles out and all the vibes will do your engine no good at all.

            I'd go Quick UK, the balance of the Align fan is terrible.

              I've had two Align metal fans -the balance on one of them was perfect, but the second one was some way off so I guess they might not be that consistent.

                Quick uk seems the choice here then.

                  I fitted a couple of the Align ones, they are ok, balance wise, but if I was doing it again i'd def go quick uk, you know it makes sense

                    Exactly the same, I have an Align one on mine, but if I were to buy again it would have to be the QUk one.

                      Fitted a QUK fan not so long ago,deffo looks more solid.I dont think the align metal one snapped on its own,i think the bolt fixings on the hub failed,there was a lot of loctite all over it which meant feeling bolts down was tricky and i had perhaps been a little 'heavy handed' on tightening.

                          i've seen both the align and g-force fans break
                          my 600 had an align fan and i had no problems with it
                          at the time the quick uk fan wasn't out else thats what i would have bought

                            I did decide to go with the Quick UK in the end.
