Wanted a new fan on the hot-end for my Ender 3 Pro, wanted something quieter. Didn't want to pay $13 for a Noctua fan, so looked around a bit and found these fans by Gelid Solutions on Amazon. Same size, within 1db of the Noctua, but only $7.50. Added benefit that it's a hydro-bearing which should last forever compared to sleeve or ball bearing. 4200rpm @ 12vdc, whereas the Noctua is 4500/3700 RPM. This Gelid has a slightly more aggressive fan design so in comparing with my hand (no science here) it seems to put out as much or slightly more air than the Noctua. I will also say it's dead silent, I thought my Ender 3 Pro was off, so hit the power, and turned it off.... Added benefit (to me) is that it's a black fan housing with white blades, looks way nicer than the brown Noctua.

My first fan was DOA (tested before installing), returned & replaced. Second fan is working fine so far (just a few hours of use). The fan is installed in a homemade, portable “battery box” with solar charging. The fan is used to cool the solar charge controller. The fan only runs with solar energy is present, the only time ventilation/cooling is needed. The provided mounting screws worked fine for this application. It would be nice if it came with a grill, but hardware cloth worked. A simple wiring diagram would also be nice, but is available if you look for it. It is quiet, measuring about 40 db @ 1 foot.
