Performs well
I've put a couple of these in my SG03 that houses an Asus Rampage II GENE motherboard. They perform pretty well--especially given their speed/noise level. I've tried quite a few fans in this case; and the AP121s do a better job of cooling my north bridge that some fans that were spec'd to move twice as much air.
On the other hand, I'm not seeing an across-the-board drop in temperatures for all components. To get that, I need to move more air through the case than the AP121 pulls in. But since my north bridge is my primary heat problem, I'm pretty satisfied.

It has been a while since anyone posted in this thread, is that because nobody else got these to test or because they were deemed not good enough and I just haven't found that information so far?
They look promising for a radiator application but are a bit expensive for me to experiment with, hence the research I'm doing now.

Good fan reviews are always hard to find, however, there is a comparison with other popular fans done by Matrinm210, who has a solid reputation:

You have to watch the video (watch a high res, larger version than the embedded one) to see the results, and there is no graph (although all the data is there). Based on the video, I'll stick with my Gentle Typhoons.
