Those fans are overrated for how much they cost and the performance you get out of them. Also there's an air leakage issue with them when it comes to radiators that causes them to lose static pressure.

They may still be good, but they still have the leaking air issue that's been widely known since release and also widely know you can get better performing for the cost of them.
If they work for you then great, keep using them. Doesn't make the issues non apparent

Dayum, dat is only like 0.5 degrees warmer than mine + a desibel or two quieter and costs like third of the price of these, even though the static pressure is supposedly way lower on those XSPC.
Only if I could actually buy those here in Finland...

There isnt pretty much any difference on the performance side with XSPC ones and SP120, expect that XSPC has slightly less motor noise, they are much cheaper tho. Still i prefer myself the SP120 ones since you can customize color scheme. If they only could make gentles and XSPC on different color scheme, choice would be clear.
Very good fan testing article: http://martinsliquidlab.org/category/fans/ (site also is best for watercooling stuff, very nice testing methods and the guy knows hes shit)

You can already feel it in the weight how well made they propably are, not flimsy like most fans. |
Gentle Typhoons are tha shit! I use them and love them. Pushes a lot of air while being quiet

If you're watercooling than you're already spending money, so might as well spend a bit more for proven bad ass fans.
Rule of thumb. IF you're going custom water loop, DO NOT GO CHEAP.
You have WATER going in your system. Keep that in mind when you're trying to go on a budget. Go big or buy an all in one. You can always add on later for other stuff. |

I had cheap tubing. I kept it for 3 days before buying something better because it turned my water yellow.
