They are pressure fans so they would work decent for radiators and areas where there is airflow restriction.

lol wow such lies on the specs on those fans no way they are 20dba at max speed when noctua's and other top end fans are closer to 30dba.  They might be ok as case fans, but I wouldn't expect much from them.

yeah I'm guessing they are cheap fans? They'll probably be ok but won't stack up to the more expensive high end fans.

yeah i got them for $12 at fry's electronics but they seemed good for there price.

this is the 1500rpm variant, but I doubt you'll be running them higher than that anyways
