yea i have never tried them but i got three of them siting in my closet. they should work with any fan since all they do is make the voltage line 5V. i have never tried the s flex F but i have tried both the E and the G. the E is dead silent and the G makes noise but i think its still quieter than a zm-f3. what i have always done tho is always buy the fastest fan and just use a fan controller. i got two kaze master fan controllers controlling 8 different fans. so i can never go wrong with picking the wrong speed and i will have extra performance whenever i need it or if i move the fans around. your fans should be lasting longer than a year and s flex fans use a fdb bearing which which last a lot longer than the sleeve bearing you have on the fans now. but like i have said i have never tried yates before and many say they are good so i think your best bet would be between the two of those.
