Noiseblocker Updates MultiFrame Fan Design, Adds Insulating Gasket
Noiseblocker, a company that specializes in low-noise PC cooling solutions released an updated design for its MultiFrame S-Series case fans. The updated design features a gasket ring along the periphery of the frame that comes in contact with the case or radiator, that provides some insulation to the frame. Noiseblocker suggests that the new MultiFrame is best suited for water-cooling setups, for use with radiators. The new MultiFrame fans come in 120 mm and 80 mm sizes, and are priced on par with the older variants: around 20 EUR for the 120 mm, and around 15 EUR for the 80 mm size.

Same here.
I doubt the insulating gasket will make any significant difference to what already is a very quiet fan, only if it makes it more pricey.
----Model-------------Size-------Airflow--------Static Pressure------RPM @ 12V------
BlackSilentFan X2-----80mm-----45 m³/h--------1,329 mm-H2O-----1800 (+/- 10%)
BlackSilentFan XL2---120mm-----98 m3/h--------1,044 mm-H2O-----1500 (+/- 10%)
Actually, according to my MoBo and fan controller, the X2 can rev up to 2200 rpm when at 12V or near. Also, it's only at that point when you can hear it.
Hope this gives you an idea of how their case fans can perform. From what I've seen, the MultiFrame S-Seires can provide even more air flow with the same RPMs.
In the series, this models are the fastest ones and that provide more airflow. As the number in the model increases, so does the speed and the airflow.
It looks like there will be some leakage around the mounting holes..
Well it does look good I give that :)
