If not the best 120mm fans
These fans are used in a NZXT S340. Qualitatively for me one of the best 120mm fans on the market. From the volume hardly to hear. Worthwhile in any case.
Pro
- Hardly to hear
- Generous accessories
Contra
- Price at CHF 39.- too high

You get what you pay for, if you can pay
Basically, its a Fan made for extreme cooling with medium-low loudness when you need it, and deadly quiet when youre just using your pc casually. Best of both worlds.
This is your perfect high-end all-around premium fan. Its extremely quiet up to the point of optimal cooling and if you look to overclock and do funky stuff with your pc-components, it will guarantee optimal airflow thats almost on an water-cooling level and will keep your GPU/CPU always in safe temperature. And if you're not overclocking and just casually using your computer, the fans are so silent you wont even hear them. I thought at first they werent working because theyre so silent. As a fact of matter, the only noise i hear is the air WITHIN my pc circulating and not the fans themselves, but you'd have to press your ear against your PC case to even hear that. Make sure though that if you opt for a COMPLETE quiet system to make sure that your CPU/evt. GPU fan is also manufactured to be silent. When spinning with FULL RPM, you can hear these fans though when not wearing a headset or listening to music. Even then its as loud as an average low-spinning Fan which isn't that noticeable at all.
HOWEVER, if you dont overclock your PC, dont care about the noise as much (ex. headset casual gamer) or just use to replace a faulty fan of your working-PC, dont bother. It's an extremely premium fan and costs a fortune therefore. with the price of one of these fans, you can buy 4 normal fans and get your PC-airflow up and running. Its a fan for only overclocking and quietness-freaks like me, and had to save a fortune to buy a couple of them. It's your call really. If you have the money def. go for itPro
- up to 1200 RPM - dead silent
- 1200 RPM to 2000 RPM - extreme airflow, audible though.
- price-performance ratio on point
Contra
- not for your casual, poor PC user
- you need $$$

Perfect for silent freaks
Perfect, I can't hear the fan coming out of the PC. At high speeds I do hear the airflow, but that is due to the turbulence on the PC case, not the fan itself.
Pro
- Practically inaudible, ideal for silent freaks
- Extensive accessories, e.g. silicone rim and voltage adapter

Outside Pfui, inside Hui
I had been looking for new fans for my radiator for the GPU water cooling, because the series coolers were much too loud. The noise level was almost as loud as the series fans of the GraKa (helicopter takes off).
I had first opted for a fan solution of the top models of BeQuiet, even though they are fantastic fans, these could not even under Max. Speed the card does not cool.
I could see from some tests that the Noctua have a very good cooling performance and despite the really unattractive optics in an "All-Black" system, I bought these.
Installed and run in Furmark stress test. The fans were able to keep my Gigabyte RTX2080TI Gaming OC, which I converted to WaKü, at a stable !60°! degrees at just 1050RPM.
Thus, the fans are barely audible, despite full load.
For comparison, the BeQuiet SilentWings 3 could not cool the same radiator even with max fan speed, after 20-30 minutes of MS Flight Sim. 2020 the Graka overheated and shut down.Pro
- Perfect for radiators, thanks to 2.34mmH2O
- SILENT
Contra
- Colorwise really no beauty

Thrilled with the quality
starts with the packaging and stops at the best quality fan. clear about the design you can argue but everything else is first class
