I wanted to get a new fan for my cooler and didn't want to spend $20+ nor did I want RGB. This fan was going into the center of my heatsink (Fuma 2) so RGB is pointless. So I gave Cooler Master another shot after having a horrible time with their POM bearing based fans. Cooler Master appears to have gone back to their rifle bearing which was a solid bearing back then when they used it. Better than sleeve in durability and nearly as durable as double ball while being almost as quiet as sleeve. This fan uses a 9 blade design similar to gentle typhoons and Noctua a12 while pushing nearly as much static pressure as both a 2150rpm typhoon or the Noctua a12. And I can feel the pressure of it pushing out the back of my Fuma 2.
No grinding noises, no clicking, frame is very heavy which is nice, fairly quiet at 2000rpm, comes with rubber dampeners, has a good amount of static pressure that competes with other similar designed fans (2.1 mmH20), no RGB, PWM, sleeved cable, and decently cheap (well under $20). What more could you ask for?
If you're interested in using this as a case fan for case airflow I would pass on it as its ~60CFM for 2000rpm is pretty lackluster, but this fan is designed for static pressure. If you're looking for a heatsink / radiator / penetration fan this is a solid fan to get.
