The price looks exceptionally low compared to elsewhere. But I don't know much about fans, so maybe the sudden price drop is for a reason.
Also worth noting that Flubit offered £7.77 from the same supplier, Gameseek.
Edit: £8.55 now.
Edit: looks like it's back up to full price....I've no idea how to end the offer through the app.

Very tempting but would bequiet Pure Wing fans still not be a better purchase?
I need to get a few 140mm fans and trying to decide...

I've genuinely no idea. I loaded up GTA V tonight for the first time in months and was reminded that my Asus 290x is actually jet engine in the heat department and figured I should get some extra fans. And the AF140 seems to get great reviews where ever I go.

All the reviews ice read have placed the corsair fans higher than the bequiet range. I'd get this one any day

Nice one - I know Corsair have just released new fans to the market so could always be a chance that these fans will be discontinued ... personally I always go for PWM fans and these run @1,000 rpm unless you have a fan controller.

Ah. I spent ages researching fans in my tired state at 2am, but I never actually realised these aren't PWM fans. So they're just going to run the same speed constantly?

These will help a little but the 290x is known to be a very hot card. Are you using one with a stock cooler?

Ive got the Asus DC 2. Aka, the worst offender for overheating.

Good deal. Personally, I'm waiting for corsair's newly announced magnetic levitating fan tech.
I found a chart once which catalogued the noise and static air pressure of fans. I found that the Deep Silence fans offered best performance, lowest noise and bang for buck.

unless you can plug it into the motherboard
and have your motherboard control the fan via software or bios.
still worth it.
my previous setup was quite old and i was abke to connect a total of 4 fans and control them via bios.. i used the silent setting rather than performance.
cheers.

Oh wow, they were fast to bring them to market. I thought it would take a few months.
