I don't really care which ones may be more 'correct' or not, I want to see how the fans compare relative to each other within the roundup.

SPCR is another great resource for fan info (with included recordings), but they also don't care about overclocking or dealing with high temperatures (the fans needed to cool them fall outside the range they care about).
They have 4 diff 120mm fans in the new range, not inc the older range, the fans sure should be overspeced going by the numbers but they should also not be crap going by shape,most other fans all have same basic dinosaur shaped blades, I would like to try these and can get some a 1 hour drive away but they are costly, I would rather go by my hand and ears than any sites review.
