It was a reasonable purchase, will order more.

I got a whole collection of coolers and decided to experiment with my CBO. Both productivity and silence were important. With four fans, I achieved a rather noisy I7 3770 k 4400 MHz system. At a meter from the computer, the noise level was 39-42 dB. But when he saw this miracle, he could not resist and immediately bought 2 pieces)). I was preparing myself for the worst, but then I realized that even with these coolers you can achieve a more or less normal noise level for me - 1880RPM on both. The volume level at such speeds a meter from the computer was already 47-48 dB .

In general, you can live with them at 60% of revolutions, but I would call this noise level not only comfortable, but rather accommodating.
To whom I would recommend this fan, probably to those who are ready to put up with a louder computer for the sake of overclocking.

Pros

1. Powerful, at full speed of 3000 RPM, it lowers the temperature on the CBO by 5-6 degrees better than regular coolers operating at a maximum of 1600-1700RPM (although the noise at such speeds is strong here and there) 2. It seems to be reliable, but only time will tell. 3. It cools well at 60% rpm (I have at least 60% on my motherboard, I don’t set less) with a relatively accommodating noise level at 1880 RPM (see comment) 4. Having installed two coolers, I added + 300 MHz to overclocking at 60% of the revolutions, it was I7 3770K 4400 MHz - it became 4700 MHz, while the temperature increased slightly and finally stress tests were passed in OCCT.

Cons

1. I didn’t really like the rubber bands on the sides, although they do their job, but at the same time they could think over the design better, such as in the same NOISEBLOCKER eLoop B12-P. Because of these rubber bands, when screwing the CBO and this fan on the back of the case, the standard screws are enough for a butt. 2. Noise? Yes, noisy, but it's all stated in the description.
