Anyone have any experience with this fan?
It's getting good feedback on another page, but on the other hand they are often clueless

But its cheap so it got my attention

Tjena!

Which other page? Which type of fan? I'm looking for info on the 140mm:

Hi!

Looks like this is going to be an all swedish thread...

Fractal Design was formerly known as Cooltek.

I haven't tried them myself but I have a friend who uses the 140mm version and he likes it. Don't think he is as obsessive with silence as I am though.

Here's a link to a test in the Swedish magazine TechWorld where Cooltek fans are tested together with Nexus, Noctua and Zalman.

Doesn't look like anything special to me. The 120mm will probably sound a lot like the Zalman and Zalman fans are always buzzy. But I have no idea what the bearing quality would be. I'm pretty sure these are just rebadged Evercool fans, since they are the only company I know that uses EL bearings. Last I checked, Evercool wasn't very good.

Fractal design fans are very affordable. They're cheaper than nexus fans in here and you probably get 3 or 4 fractal fans with price of single noctua. However they still don't beat YL, which are almost impossible to get in here.

I like their new case with aluminium door and all. Looked somwhat like P180...
