p12 vs p12 max really???

Do they have buzzing at low RPM like some of the reviews say? I'm wondering if they got faulty fans or if it's because of the dual ball bearings.

The review i saw said the max version of the fan gets rid of the low rev buzz that the non max version had ??

The non max had a hum/whine at certain RPM ranges but was completely silent at low RPM, though it was supposed to be fixed in the ARGB version. The max version doesn't have that at specific RPM ranges, but supposedly has a buzzing sound at low RPM from the dual ball bearings when it doesn't get drowned out from normal fan noise at higher speed.

Mine don’t have that but I do have 4 more in the post so will confirm with them
 
Yes, i can confirm 2 on my 6 fans do grind/whine.

when you have the fans set at low RPM there silent but when the speed picks up they grind until the speed increase stops. this is only upto about 35%
i have the fans fixed at 15% and i will keep them but yer 2 of my 6 do grind

I bought a couple of them based on your experience that they are all silent at low RPM. Unfortunately both of them have a loud high pitched buzzing sound at low RPM, this isn't my video but they sound like this.


Either they have serious quality control problems with this fan or it's just a garbage design for low noise setups.
 
My fans are off till 55c on the cpu then fixed at 15% I have no buzz, it’s just when that spin up it’s like a grind. Then Silent
 
No I said 1 or 2 of mine grind but it’s when changing speed. If you sit in bios and set 15% than change it up they grind but all that stops when you settle at the new speed.

My fans are from 2 batches I got 2 then had to wait for ocuk to get stock before I got 4 more

But yes there is something not 100% with them. However in my use case there spot on so am all good
