Hey everyone,

 

In the next couple of months I am hoping to upgrade the aesthetics of my PC, and that includes some fans. I recently found these (what I'm guessing is a German brand) fans and would like to know if anyone of you have them or know if they are any good. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-021-AL&emcs0=2&emcs1=Produktdetailseite&emcs2=BU-020-TL&emcs3=FG-021-AL

 

thanks in advance :P

Two things that worry me about this:

1.) Very aggressive fan blade style.

2.) I've never heard of them  :D

 

If you want silence, get Noctua. Aesthetics and near silence: get Corsair's color coded fan options.

Yeah, those were both on my list until I saw these - thanks for your opinion though! :P

If you don't care about looks and have a bit more to spend, get noctua, however, if you're like me and you don't want to put a fan that looks like a** in your PC, get corsair.

Not had any experience with them, but the specs don't seem great. If you want good around performance, with near silent operation, look at BlackSilent Pro PK1/2/3. They're around tha same price as those.

Corsair fans are not quiet. They look nice, but are pretty loud. They're also pretty expansive for what they are.

the noise level is pretty good

airflow is average, static pressure is not listed and by the looks of it doesnt even try putting it on a radiator

aesthetics are nice if it fits your build colour scheme

 

there are better fans for the price, but if you want these for the looks then they seem decent enough

Alpenföhn is a company well used in Europe, ive owned a cooler by them and it worked flawlessly. Dont know what fan it had specifically but it was pretty quiet. 

In this review it seems to have performed quite admirably.

Thanks for your input, definitely will be considering these instead of noctua's nf-f12s for a while
