I personally own 10 of them in my video editing rig and I must say that I LOVE them. I use them in a push-pull configuration for my 360 and 240mm radiators and I was able to achieve overclocks of greater than 4.7GHz on my i7-4770k and over 1.3GHz on my EVGA GTX 780Ti. No temperature went past 80C. What are you using the fans for? They are great for radiators and/or places with blockage eg. Hard drive cages (empty and full).

Hello Nuclear101
Looks like you are the person I'm looking for ! I'd like some advice about cooling my rig (Corsair Carbide 400R) with these fans, but I don't know exactly what a push / pull is or how to construct one. Also the difference between SP and AF Models is difficulet to understand.
So what do I do ? PM you or via this thread or a new one?
Thx

Push-pull is really simple :)  It literally just means that you have a fan in front and another fan behind the radiator. One pushes air into the radiator and the other sucks it out, allowing for more airflow in the radiator. The SP series stands for Static Pressure, which is important for pushing air through obstructions eg. Hard drive cages, radiators, etc. basically anything that will slow/stop air flow. If you have <2 inches of clearances behind the fan, then use the SP series. If you have >2 inches of clearance or no obstructions, then you should use the AF series, or the Air Flow series. They deliver more airflow for better overall cooling.
