I've got 6 of them on a push-pull 3 x 120mm radiator.
Absolute silence at 600 rpm and yes, these do last forever.

They need to at that price lol

Indeed. Enermax has been selling mag bearing fans for years now as well. The Marathon series was Enermax's first IIRC; Those are low-speed but there's been one in my dad's HTPC for five(?) years now. They've since brought their magnetic bearing to several of their other series of fans. They have PWM variants across several lines as well.

I'm wondering if corsair has come up with some new innovation over these previous systems or if they've just licensed a prior tech and stuck the corsair badge, styling and QC on it as is so common.

I was wracking my brain, trying to remember who else had the magnetic fans for quite awhile now. It was Enermax. Thanks!

Necro post I know, but I installed 3qty of 140mm ML fans last night in my build along with 2qty of 120mm. Very impressed so far. Low RPM as others have mentioned they very quiet, I would consider them silent and smooth as silk. I had to look in the case to make sure they were spinning. Noise performance was the #1 reason I spent a stupid amount on these fans and they nailed it. At low speed, air was still flowing nicely. Ramped up to 100%, Noise was not terrible compared to their SP performance series which made the PC sound like a hovercraft. Hurts the wallet but great fans for my specific low noise needs.
