Finally, I say. I'm very curious about this fan. After all these years the 120mm version is still a reference fan on SPCR, this one might be even better.

I'm not. Ever since Nexus switched to white/black frame design their fans "chirp" when mounted horizontally. The orange ones didn't use to have that chirp. I've been a fan of Scythe fans in the last couple of years, especially the ones with Sony bearing, but they've been incredibly tough to find lately ever since Scythe "exited" US market... I sincerely hope they'll come back sooner rather than later.

I would also love for this fan to come up in a 140mm fan comparison, I have been very happy with my 120mm fan on my CPU cooler (never used it horizontally), but I want to change the 140mm fans that came with the Fractal Design Define S, they are too loud for me, have to lower their RPM to become acceptable but I don't think they push mush air.

BTW this fans are only $7.99 on Amazon, seems weird, wonder if they are the same quality since the 120mm versions cost more.

Even cheaper from this UK supplier. As to why they are on sale as such a low price, this extract from the spec from this source might be a clue "...Voltage Range: 8.0 ~13.8 Volts...". Obviously manufacturers' specs cannot be taken at face value. But if the start voltage is as high as 8V then idle speeds could be an issue.
