Has anyone had any experience using these? They look a lot like the Kama Flow fans that are only available in Japan.

I might buy some when I'm back in the US.

I picked up one of the SA0825FDB12L variant from Central Computer here in San Jose yesterday. I don't have much in the way of modern fans to compare it to - this is my first system build in 5 years - but undervolted with a Fanmate it seems extremely quiet, unlike the Zalman 92mm I'm replacing it with.

I wonder if it has more airflow at 5V than the Nexus 92mm. It would make a better candidate for replacing the stock 92mm in the Zalman 9500.

I picked up the low speed 92mm Kama flex. Its fairly quiet but mine did have an awful noise when I first hooked it up. The fan could not be layed flat without making the noise. I pushed on the hub area and tried to see if the blade was pulled out and sure enough it popped back into place and has bee fine ever since.
