Pros & Cons
Pros
Fan has built in dampers. Works great, well built. Fait sa job.
These corsair maglev fans are dramatically quieter than the ball-bearing fans. Great for radiators, very happy with their performance, they push air through high density radiator with no issues. I think within the corsair line itself, they are.
The rig sounds so quiet and so high-end now! Silent mode, it is very silent, full load is well. Whisper quiet and moves plenty of air. Definitely recommend for a mid-higher end setup.

Very quiet almost silent but when it does rev up it sounds like a quiet dyson fan and has a whooshing sound rather than the whine and hum of a traditional fan

I had to switch around the corner brackets to install no instructions and manage to use quite a bit of pressure to line up the screw holes

The magnetic bearing means this fan is almost silent
