I know this is a bit of a bump, but I just have to point out something. I have 3 of those fans in my case and when they are running at full speed, yes they move 90 cfm, but they are sooooooo loud. Not even close to 20dba. What's worse is that they aren't PWM, which means no variable speed without a fan controller. I would seriously tell everyone to avoid these fans unless they have a fan controller... or you like your computer to sound like a wind tunnel. They do look good though.
Yup I got 4 of these in my case. Silent and flow well. Can't beat em, especially for the price.

Faulty perhaps? If i bring my rig to a dead silence(gpu fans low as they go, side panel fans off, everything in my room turned off) i can barely hear them and mine are mounted externally.I know this is a bit of a bump, but I just have to point out something.

3 faulty fans? I doubt it. They are loud, and I work with 2 guys who also have them and agree that's they are too loud. We also get customers returning them because they say 20 db. Cooler Master was very clever in marketing their fans. Our technician called CM, and they said that it never promises 90 cfm @ 20db noise level, but since they are right next to each other on the packaging people assume that's what they mean. Since I now have my case in a sort of cubby in my desk, the noise isn't so bad, though. So, my girlfriend doesn't nag me anymore about the noise.

Yah, I'd check the mounting and possibly buy some fan grommets from http://www.mnpctech.com/

There is no problem except for they are damn loud fans. That is all. At 2000 RPM what fan isn't loud? My point is that they aren't 20 dba at full speed. And I wouldn't recommend them to anyone who didn't have a fan controller.

Honestly unless your running a passive or watercooled GPU, the fan on the gpu will be quite a bit louder than the coolermaster r4's.
ya ive got it apart and waiting on the fans ill post some pics today also i think my gtx 260 will look good in there lol
