Great performance but soo loud

Even at 25% they’re louder than two NOCTUA NF-P12s are at 100%. Sure, they move a lot of air, but also keep in mind that they therefore need unrestricted airflow to pull from. I found a Noctua NF-A14 redux 1500rpm to perform just as well in my situation and for half the dB.
Great performance, but can be loud

Definitely set up a fan curve for these, at full speed it sounds like someone's honda civic at 3am. At their baseline 800rpm they're not too noticeable, plus if you really want to overclock to push scores or get more performance, these things push some serious air.If noise bothers you, get the 2000RPM versions as they have a lower minimum RPM.
Great performance, probably too good

I have one of these on my Kraken AIO cooler. Works great but never needs to go above around 1500rpm. The minimum speed on this compared to the 2000 is 800 vs 500. I would opt for the 2000 rpm model for this reason. I can hear it at idle and 3000 rpm is like turning a hair dryer on next to your ear.
