Interesting update on "crappy" repro fan shrouds

As the OP, I have the 3 gen one but haven't installed it yet so I can't comment. However, the second has held up pretty well - significantly better than the first (which was 100% junk). After a couple of years it has cracked though at the lower two mounting points.

I expect the third one (which is lighter in color) to perform as it should. There's a chance I won't find out as I'm changing the cooling system as part of a new project.
