PWM is over-rated.
Who needs PWM when Noctua fans runs at 1200~1300RPM max?

The nice thing about it is super low rpm, with regular voltage control you get good control, but the voltage can't drop to much or the fan will stall. That's the main benefit.

and 1300 is loud by my standards, with voltage control kicked in it would run about 850-900 idle and if I used their adapter the fan would not start.

So I pulled them off and put on 800rpm scythe s-flex fans and they run at 575 rpm voltage controlled (idle)

Perfect.

Gonna get me some new fans. :)
The looks are nice too...despite the colors.

More like "after the shit hit the fan":roll:

Seriously, I just spent 5 min admiring that new fan schematic. Holly stator-guide-vanes-that-straighten-channel-and-focus-Batman:respect:
