For performance, I used this particular one as a top exhaust fan. I have the speeds adjusted for GPU temperature. When idle, my system temperatures have plenty of headroom, and the fans are silent. They keep everyday PC performance where it needs to be - and quietly. When gaming, I may be overshooting my speeds precautiously. Four total fans get pretty loud - within reason - at around 1,500 RPM x4. However, they definitely move air.
The RGB setup for NZXT was kind of a pain - connecting to the controller box, figuring out which of the ten wires works in what direction, and then figuring out how you can cable it all. A little annoying that I had to set up both color and power for all four fans. But I understand there are limitations in engineering, etc...
I would knock the app if anything. My GPU temps were well understated (62c v 84c true). Now I cannot even see the GPU temp at all, so I had to reconfigure my fan program to anything but the most important reason I want them running. I cannot find a fix on this anywhere I look.
Color scheming is pretty customizable. There are also some dynamic variables (CPU temp, GPU, temp to color ranges, etc...). Where I was annoyed: if you daisy chain your color control cable, anything dependent to the first fan (or light) can only be given a different color if you change each individual LED color. This makes trial-and-error a way longer than necessary process.
Overall though - I think very good. No regrets. If anyone is buying JUST the fan, I have no reason to believe anything under perfect.

This product looks absolutely amazing, and the fan quality is much better than most I’ve seen. The rubber on all the corners is very nice and keeps things nice and quiet. I had seen a lot of complaints about CAM software but I actually really like it.
Con: if you’re a first time builder the cable management is a little tricky because you can have up to 6 wires running to the controller at once.

I recently built a custom computer using lots of NZXT components including the RGB HUB 2 for my lighting needs. I have the H700i case with non-RGB fans in the front and top, but I wanted a RGB fan in the back of the case (since that's pretty visible) and this fan looked like it would fit the bill. I love it. Easy to install, just required one cable into my motherboard, and another cable into the RGB HUB 2 and I was off an running. Customized the lighting with the CAM software and now it syncs up with the rest of the lighting in my case. The picture is my case and the RGB fan is on the top left. The fan is moving air very well and is whisper quite. Very happy with this purchase.
