these look good they can drop as low as 400rpm. they should be great for people with lots of radiators who want silence

This^

I think I'll replace my Noctua NF-A14 PWM Linus Tech Tips fans for 2 of these.

Just as one of the fans on my swiftech h220-x has developed a nasty rattle under load, these pop up. Grabbed a white led 120, if it does the biz, will come back for a second.

The point still stands, though - Noctua drop a bit in performance for a lot in noise. Still quite a reasonable compromise IMO, more so than the Quiet Editions.

Ever heard of fan control?

He has not

I'll be getting 5 x of the 140mm white LED fans IF the rubber dampening parts can be obtained in black as I have an all black theme with only the fans having white LED's on them so white corners would not go very well with my rig.

Looking forward to some reviews on these.

I will find out about the corners tomorrow and post about them once I have the Information.

These are the Mfr's own specs and usually a bit exaggerated at that... If anything, they'll be slower and even louder.

Yes, you're absolutely right. Just debating whether to bother editing the post...

It's a great compromise. All my fans are Noctua. NF-F12s or NF-A14s.

i am using the nf-a15 pwm. mainly because it comes with a fan slower right there in the box. so if i ever want more silence or more performance or visa-versa, just plug / unplug the fan slower.

McGraw · 1 Jul 2016 at 09:42

Any idea whether these are quieter yet more powerful than the SP120 quiet?

Thanks.

No point comparing specs across different companies though.

Until I can afford to buy and personally test each and every one under consistent conditions, or until OCUK want to send me them for independent testing, that's all I and most other people have to go on...

Turning a fan down makes it quieter, yes, but only because it's spinning slower whereupon you lose performance along with it... and most fans are near-silent below 1000rpm anyway.
The measure is in how much noise they make and what performance they get at the same rpms. Again, Noctua are still top for the compromise between noise and performance. There are quieter fans, there are better fans, but none are both as good *and* as quiet.

Well that's what I try to help with: http://thermalbench.com/category/fans/

Granted it's a single airflow restriction value used but I did test quite a few filters and rads and chose this to average it up.

How do these compare to the Scythe AP-15 1850 RPM?

paultoke · 3 Jul 2016 at 11:22

Just ordered 3 double packs in black.
Loving the aesthetic and will go well with my new build

Twirlywoos · 3 Jul 2016 at 11:42

Will wait for proper reviews but what ever happened to those zero noise Noctua fans that were shown at Computex a few years ago?

Mads1 · 3 Jul 2016 at 13:26

In the link on first page for the ML120 fans, box contents say two in box for 15.95 for black LED for 16.99 is this right.

Robbie_G · 3 Jul 2016 at 16:26

Hi,

Looks like an error in the description you get just the one fan unless it states dual pack in the title. This will be corrected tomorrow.

Fanatic · 3 Jul 2016 at 20:33

Ordered a Phanteks Enthoo Luxe case and Corsair 110GTX cooler. Ordered some of these fans to go with them.

.Trooper. · 3 Jul 2016 at 21:46

This is super tempting but I just bought a fan controller that keeps them super silent when idle. Guess I'll stick with the 2 Corsair fans I got with my 400C and the 2 Fractal Design fans I swapped over from my old case.

May have to pick these up sometime in the future though
