Anyone have experience with these fans? 71CFM at 11dBA seems too good to be true...

Went looking for some comments on newegg about this fan, and noticed that CFM listed there is 42. Took a closer look where I first saw this fan, I missed that the measurement was for m3/h, not cfm. Still an impressive ratio of cfm to dba at 42/11. Not much info on them yet besides a press release since they're new, but will keep an eye out.

they tested it here seems to be resonably quiet for the 7,50 euro price it costs.

PS. that review is in polish so google translator is higly advised.

Thanks michaelius, checked out that roundup. Not an easy read even after translation, there must be some polish word that translates both to something fan related, and the word 'placenta'. Anyway, looks like it did pretty well being the 2nd quietest in the roundup.
