Are the included fans PWM fans? How loud are they?

The fans are very quiet. I don't remember if they are PWM or not, but my ASUS X99-Deluxe mother board controls their speed just fine,

They're not noisy for me. Is it the lights themselves, or the power supply you're using?

I think the only meaningful way I can answer that is to say the I have (4) of these drives in a Drobo mini on my desk and hear no noticeable noise above my PC fan. I think they are plenty quiet.Hope that helps.

They are XtraFlo fans with PWM: http://www.coolermaster.com/cooling/case-fan/xtraflo-120/

The BIOS on this board has tons of features, and I can indeed confirm there are settings for fan speeds in it. I currently have my fans running at max (don't care about noise, etc)

Yeah, they're just case fans. I took them out and put in a corsair h110 cooler in the front, mounted a couple fans on top, bottom, and back. =-)

they work very well. I'm not sure if they perform better than the stock fan, even a pair of them, but the added color rings made all the difference for me. You may want to go for the PWM version of the SP120s though.

Hello , these fans are about 25 dBa , it is not completely silent but a very faint air flow sound , I haven't come across a 120mm quieter than this , I like them the led lights give a nice white glow.

Top fans are included, already mounted with screws. If you are going to replace the fans like I did, I recommend doing it before you install the motherboard. Not enough room to maneuver otherwise.

Yes, both fans are included. I am running only one fan which is approximately 65mm. With both fans installed, the lower fan was interfering with the RAM cooling fins

Yes they are, but don't buy this fan from Amazon. Mine was missing parts and Amazon never did make it right. :(

None, only at 100% fans speed (force set by after market software). You won't hear it under your CPU cooler - be it air or water cooling.

With my ear against the side panel i thought to myself.. "I'm so glad i didn't spend the money to put together a fanless system!" ..only the PSU is audible, the HDD (if you don't use a SSD) will be the loudest component.

Hi, i have 2 in my tower, the fans are really quiet but makes a little of noise.

I really have not noticed them being very loud. I have 2 of these mounted on my 212 evo cooler that average running around 1700 rpm's to keep the overclocked I7 cooled to 30-40c. Go go them if you need some serious air pushed in your case.

As far as I know, these fans should fit without any modifications. I haven't changed mine since it's working properly and I'd only consider swapping it for a PWM version (which as far as I know, still don't exist).

Never noticed a fan problem. I can hear it, but it's quite minimal (and I'm sensitive to noise).
