I know that they have good reviews on newegg but are they quiet?

I don't own any, but for $10 it's a great deal. Just don't expect any Noctua grade quietness  :)

 

EDIT: That 20 dBA noise level is probably measured at a very low speed, don't expect them to be that quiet at 1500 RPM 

CoolerMaster also do a set like this, which are slightly slower and slightly quieter

thanks, I didn't expect noctua quality but $2.50 a fan didn't sound like a bad idea lol.

Well at that price, you can probably expect them

To be pretty crap, however 4 fans for 8$ is amazing. You can't really go wrong at that price because even if they are mega crap (which I doubt would be the case) you've only lost $8.

From reading Reviews, they don't seem to be that great. I personally learned my lesson with cheap fans, so I ordered a SilentWings for testing. I hope that the new fams are, because it cost twice as much.

i don't think they will be bad really. The reviews on them are practically 5 stars

do you have silent wings or are you saying that they are in transit to your house? If you have them, how much do you like them?

those fans aren't that bad hey at least there would be airflow in your rig just in case you have totally 0 case fans or something.

Live your life like a dream.

They are somewhere between Amazon and my local mail. Normally I get the stuff on the next day, but a stupid holiday has moved everything by 2 days.
