These fans are absolutely quiet! I ramped up every fan in my case to test how low I could get my CPU temps and at most I heard a very very faint hum, something you wouldn't notice unless right next to it and trying to hear if it makes noise.
The fan didn't have any arrows showing airflow. Air blows out of the end with the sticker/face plate.
I would definitely recommend these to people. Quiet, help keep temps low, great price.
Right size: fit the CPU heatsink on the ASRock C2750D4I
Moved enough air while being quiet (enough) to keep it at 40C.
Bearings started to go after less than 4 months.
It makes a constant buzzing sound now when powered on, and when I spin the fan manually (after removing and unplugging it) I can feel the vibrations in the frame from the bearings being worn out.
This is definitely not a fan to have running 24/7 (as I was using it).
The worst part is that the bearing housing is sealed; I tried to peel the sticker off the back and apply some bearing oil (which has rejuvenated and extended the lifetimes of many of my fans) but there's just solid plastic behind the sticker!
For the price, I guess I got what I paid for. I wont be buying another one to replace it; I'll find a different fan.
Fractal design is a good company for case designs, but I don't think the quality of their fans is up to par with that of their cases.
