Great fan - a bit pricey
This is an excellent fan - very quiet with an unusual mounting system that isolates fan vibration from the system. The mounting uses elastomer ''ears'' at the corners of the frame instead of the usual hard plastic. The frame is suspended in this elastomer, giving excellent isolation - provided you ONLY contact the elastomer ears - push the frame against the case and the benefit is gone. The mount can cause problems in some situations - for example, I couldn''t use the standard clips to mount it to my Noctua cooler (I wired it in place - don''t tell anybody...).
The PWM control is good (don''t buy a fan without it!) and the noise level is non-existent up to 75% speed. I have not measured CFM or static head but it works great with my Noctua NH-C12P on an i7 920 - a 35C rise over ambient at 1200 RPM @100% CPU use.
Only downside is the price - but you get what you pay for.
