These fans really are among the best on the market - yes, of course, only for those who can do without RGB. They generate a high pressure and are very quiet at the same time. The fact that they are also very inexpensive makes them actually unbeatable. I have now installed more than 30 of these fans in my various builds.

Works OK, but sometimes they whine.

It's very simple: if Noctua lowered its prices, Arctic would have no place. Fortunately for them, the value pack means they can compete with the Austrian brand on all fronts.

You can definitely hear them better than the be quiet! Silent Wings, in my opinion. I'll be replacing them again soon. Price 7 performance is of course almost unbeatable.

For the price, these 5 fans are excellent. There is the possibility to directly link them together which is very practical.
Noise level, they never bothered me.

Install in place of my silent wings 2 of be quiet. The be quiet produce a small clacking that drove me crazy ... So I hesitated for a long time for the nocutua in 140mm or the arctic. Several reviews on youtube speak well of these fans. So I tried. 5 arctic for the price of 1 noctua ... The installation is done without worries, screws are included. The advantage of this model is that each fan has a male and female input. So you can connect several fans together and facilitate the cable management. I installed the 5, 2 front (input) 2 top (output) 1 back (output). The cables coming out of the fans are just long enough to connect to the motherboard. 1cm less would have been too short. First boot, big fear, the 2 of my front panel make a very loud noise of friction. I tell myself they are dead but I try to "heat" them. I try to make them all run at 100% for 1-2 minutes. Once this warm up is finished and back to a speed of 30-40%, no more noise. Up to 750rpm, they are absolutely inaudible. My pc is on my desk at 1m from me, in an airflow box so almost by full parroie and I don't hear them. My RTX 3070ti strix is the only component I can hear. The fans start to be "audible" from 1300 rpm. My gpu lost 6° on average and my cpu 10-12° compared to my be quiet wings 2. I recommend this product to all! Maybe the noctuas are better made, they are more high end etc. but for the price of 5 arctic for 1 noctua, I can buy 3 per month and I will remain a winner... There is no photo...

I installed them in my tower, and for the price they are excellent. You should know that they make a characteristic noise around 1000 rpms - but this can be mitigated by adjusting the "fan curve".
Although on paper almost as quiet as the Noctuas, I prefer the sound of the latter. I can't tell if it's the motor or just the soft plastic parts of the Noctua that dampen the vibrations.
