Ordered 3 of them because of the glowing reviews I have heard from everyone and all I have to say is they are freaking LOUD. I have them hooked up to a fan controller and they are by far the loudest 120MM fans I have ever heard. Even turned down on low they produce an annoying loud humming sound. The air they push is weak in comparison to the Akasa Viper fan I just purchased for my heatsync and it is way quieter. Epic fail on the fans... Not sure why anyone would ever recommend them. Going in the trash.

Yeah I am pretty sure they are. I got them from a reputable website.

I don't understand how there can be a good version and a crappy version of the same fan. Are they all made by the same company?

If you pull of the sticker off and remove the rubber seal, add a little sewing oil they will run smoothly. I hear no grinding and I oiled mine about 3 months ago. I think if anything they might be under oiled. Before you trash them its worth a shot.

I might take one appart to take pics from. I think my roomate wants them for his server that stays in a closet out of hearing distance lol
