So, iv'e heard that Bitfenix Spectre pro fans are good for radiators, in fact made for them. Really? anyone know from experience or benchmarking with them on rads? I have one Bitfenix white led fan on exhaust in my rig, but never knew they're good for rads... They're pretty good fans, and about $27 a pop for the white led one anyway... Iv'e also heard they're better than SP 120's... Any thoughts?

No. SP120's are better http://www.anandtech.com/show/6177/choosing-the-best-120mm-radiator-fan-testing-eight-fans-with-corsairs-h80/5

The Spectre Pro PWMs are for radiators but they are so flipping noisy and the SP 120s are even louder.

Spectre Pro are what I call a middle road fan. OK CFM, ok static pressure. There are better of both types, but for the cost, they are a good choice. The all white ones look nice and the LED coloring is very solid and consistent.
