I have Nexus fans, and they are the best I have ever owned. Quiet and powerful. I have replaced my case fans and my CPU HSF with them.

The load temps on my CPU with my tuniq plummeted 10 degrees with the same or less noise.

What was on your CPU HSF before you fitted the Nexus?? Need a point of comparison...

Fair enough. I had a standard Tuniq fan fitted.

The 10 degree drop was on a like for like basis regard the noise, so its not very scientific granted. It would probably be only a 2-3 degree drop compared with the tuniq fan on full (but that sounded like a spitfire).

Also take into account that 2 standard case case fans (one antec and one akasa amber) were also replaced with Nexus fans so that would have contributed to the lower load temp.
