Are these Yate Loons good rad fans?

I've had so many issues trying to find GT's and Flex's on every computer website and massively overpriced GT's on eBay (like $60 for one fan) that I decided to look for alternatives. Do any of you know if the Yate Loon D12SH-12 is a good radiator fan? They're very well priced in comparison to the GT's and I've heard they have similar performance. I do intend on putting them on a fan controller because I've heard they're pretty loud. Thanks!

I had a Yate Loon fan in my noname psu and after a year it sounded like a train.

I don't always have time to study, but when I do, I don't.

Spend some money on fans. You're going to regret getting loud fans. Even if they are on a fan controller, they will still be loud. They have no rubber isolating mounts. Is this for an AIO or custom loop?

They are good radiator fans but they are as loud as a hair dryer and there are better options.

Custom loop sir. Would you recommend a good rad fan in black with comparable performance to GT's? I've looked at NoiseBlockers, eLoops, Corsair SP, etc.

Corsair sp120 quiets and spray paint the ring black.

 

These are really the best but much more expensive

40 DB is INSANELY loud for a fan, I would not recommend buying those yate loons.

 

Try to get something in the 10-20 db range for the best experience.

I can vouch for the Noctuas. I have a corsair h100i and the stock fans were obnoxious at any speed other than idle so I switch them out with Noctuas. The Noctuas at full load are about as loud as the stock fans were at idle, all while keeping similar performance.

I wouldn't recommend Noctua, I've had experience with them and just wasn't impressed, they're honestly not even as good as people hype them up to be.  I guarantee most of the people that have switched to Noctuas, have done so from stock fans, and never actually tried any other "high end fans"

The best fans I can recommend are Gentle typhoons, and noiseblocker e loops.
