+Braided cable
+Rubber pads on frame to prevent vibrations
+Solid build quality
+Red when lit up, orange when not
+Did I mention Quiet?
Cons:
-The rubber things to install them silently are not that good. I ended up not using any of them because they did not hold the fans tight enough against the case, which allowed them to wobble
Overall Review:
I did have all CM Jetflos in my Corsair Air 540, but the noise was getting annoying and I eventually had to replace them. I first purchased the Corsair AF red LED fans, which seemed to work well, until i played games. Temps went way too high with the Corsair fans. I replaced all my fans in my case with Cougar red LED fans. 2 140mm intake, 1 140mm exhaust, and 4 120mm on my radiator in push/pull.
My case is very quiet now. The fans on my MSI GTX 780Ti's are louder than my Cougar fans. My temps were much lower than using the Corsair fans, but a bit higher than the Jetflos, but the noise to performance ratio of these fans is perfect. I am not sure how they compare to Noctua fans, but I can't imagine these being much worse, if at all. Buy these fans and you will not regret it. They aren't leaf blowers like the CM Jetflos, but they are fantastic nonetheless. If you have room for the 140mm, get those as they are even quieter and move more air. You cannot lose with these fans!
