Hey! Im just wondering, does anybody have any reviews/on-hand experience on the Alpenfohn case fans? Specifically these ones Here. I think they look really good in all the different colors, but I'm just questioning their performance.

 

Sorry if this has already been asked, tried searching but reviews are scarce.

 

Thanks

Carl

Quieter than noctuas. http://www.eteknix.com/alpenfohn-fohn-120-and-140-wing-boost-fan-reviews/5/

dBA readings at 1000 and 1500rpm aren't quiet for most fans including noctuas. 

NF-F12's are loud at 1000 and 1500rpm and being quieter than that isn't much of an achievement especially when rpm is arbitrary. 

I wouldn't call them quieter than Noctuas unless they maintain similar performance and lower noise than 100-600rpm Noctuas.

Just going off the review

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

It seems the WingBoost fans are decent but have a ticking noise that is apparent below 800rpm and aren't as quiet as Noctuas--no surprise though.

Ticking at low RPMs is the most annoying thing ever..
