These fans have been specifically developed to deliver significant airflow while maintaining low noise levels. Silent Series R2 fans are available in sizes from 40mm up to 140mm.
All new Silent Series R2 fans are equipped with high performance hydraulic bearings, increasing both fan performance and reliability. The 120mm and 140mm fans come with a low-speed adapter, which lets you choose between two different rotation speeds without a separate fan controller. Each fan 60mm and larger is packaged with both 4 metal screws and 4 rubber screws to ensure maximum fan-mounting options. Using the rubber screws allows mechanical decoupling from the case itself, reducing vibrations and decreasing the noise level (40 and 50mm feature metal mounting screws only).
The cable on each Silent Series R2 fan is fully sleeved for effortless cable routing and enhanced aesthetics.

Nice quite fan with no issues as of yet. Worth the money. I used it for the back of my entertainment system to keep components cool. It comes with everything you need for mounting and also has a resistor included to slow down the speed. Highly recommended

Theses fans are quiet, stylish and well made. They fit into Fractal's cases really neatly as well (based on a clip system in the front of their cases) which is a great bonus. However, to fit them into those clip slots (not when screwing into side panels) you have to move the cables from a channel in the plastic. Doing so can be a challenge without tearing the cable as this area of it is not sleeved. For 99% of it's usage, this is a non-issue and people with smaller hands may not have an issue.

I got these fans to fit a black and white colour scheme on my build.
They have very good cfm, and are extremely silent, especially when running near 600rpm.

Pros quiet, nice looking, sleeved cable. easy to mount
Cons not 4 pin sadly.
Summary i originally had 2 of theses that came with the fractal R4 case, they work flawlessly and quietly, the only thing i could wish for was a 4 pin connector for more control and maybe some rubber mount for the corner "a la Noctua".
in short they do what there suppouse to do and dont cost a harm a leg.
Summary It's silent if you slow down the RPM, looks nice and moves a decent amount of air. I have it bottom mounted near my PSU as an extra air intake in my Define R4. Cable length is more than enough in my setup and its a nice braided cable.
Summary These are pretty good case fans, although they shouldn't really be referred to as "silent". They definitely do make some noise. If you get close you can actually hear these guys ticking a bit.
They don't push quite as much air and have as high a static air pressure rating as I'd like, but still good.
Pros Quite Comes with resistor Aesthetically Pleasing
Cons None
Summary Nice quite fan with no issues as of yet. Worth the money. I used it for the back of my entertainment system to keep components cool. It comes with everything you need for mounting and also has a resistor included to slow down the speed. Highly recommended
Pros Great sleeved cables, quiet, capable of running at 5v, 7v 12v
Cons Annoying to remove cable from channel

Summary I got these fans to fit a black and white colour scheme on my build. They have very good cfm, and are extremely silent, especially when running near 600rpm. I cant hear anything but the nice woosh of air moving. And they also look great =] Excellent fans!
Pros Very efficient. Comparable to a 20$ fan, very good air and very low noise
Cons Dont use it horizontally, they vibrate much. Rubber screws a little cheap, take care when installing.
Summary Got them in my Define R4 case. Those mounted to the front work perfect, but the one I mounted on the bottom vibrates much. I recommend it to anyone looking for great air cooling with low noise, at a cheap price !
I tried couple of them horizontally and they all vibrate. I had a very nice service from Fractal to change one, but the new one still vibrate.
