Pros & Cons
Pros
They are so quiet compared to my other case fans i dont even realise they are on. The only downside to these is that they have an annoyingly audible whine at around 1100rpm - 1300rpm.
It's the quietest fan i've ever had and works great on my 120mm aio. Keep in mind that some people are suffering from a humming noise, this is due to the pwm motor. Runs quiet as advertised.
Cons
Wasted time and effort and very disappointed with this product. Transitioning between the two safe zones with a fan curve is a no-go.
Highlights
Quality
I recently purchased one of arctic's p12 pwm variants and i couldn't be happier with the product.
This is such a good quality product.
However, there are known issues with whining at around 1000rpm, so be aware.
Price
Very quiet , excellent cooling well worth the cost :)
Great little fans for a solid price.
Shipping

Packaging/appearance
No issues out of the box, doesnt whine, screws install fine, still working so far after a month or so.
Don't have this problem on the 140mm fans however.
Competitiveness
I'm using them for the back of a cabinet with a ps5 and a yamaha receiver.
Excellent value for money, i have added it as the additional fan in home nas (using a thermaltake v21).
Basically silent at less than 50% pwm speed.
I have a noctua nf-f12 and the difference between the two in terms of noise and performance is negligible.

Theyre super quiet but move plenty of air and being high static pressure helped given some impediments to air in the case
