I wonder how these fair up against the Sharkoon SE's? Given that they're of the same design, I'm rather intrigued!

If they did a Colin Montgomerie edition they would be on to a winner...

it needs a couple minutes to spin up to full RPM upon boot

Then it would give disappointing results.

What benefit does the gold ball design have?

Easier to spot when you knock it into the rough, shot after shot after shot..

the reason that golf balls have dimples is HERE

essentially, a golf ball with dimples flys much further than one without.

apply the same principle to a computer fan. by putting dimples on the blades, it reduces turbulence, drag etc.

this means the fan should be quieter too

zaward have the Golf III design also. whereas the Sharkoon fans are based on the Golf II design.

Which of these fans would I buy to replace the Top and Front fans on my Corsair 650d?

Golf III is a new standard not yet adopted by the Sharkoon brand. So this would be my choice. As for sizes the 650D uses 200MM at the top and 200MM at the front.

You can however use 2x 140mm or 2x 120mm in the roof instead of the 200mm. The front may have similar mounts however I am unsure if if these include 2x 140mm or 2x 120mm so your best bet would be to ask on the forums where a fellow 650D owner may be able to help out

Yeah but by reducing drag/turbulence it's just reducing it's performance surely?

its all relative to air resistance I guess

a dimpled golf ball flys further than a non dimpled one when both are struck with identical force.

so a fan with dimples requires less force to rotate than one without.

regardless of this, the Zaward fans have relatively high RPM ratings and therefore huge CFM numbers.

you can put them on a fan controller and they are very very quiet.
