Nice review. I purchased a Phanteks XT Pro Ultra in May that includes 4 of these fans. At MSRP, the fans would make up $56 of the $80 price, although I know the pricing doesn't work like that. The real-world performance of these fans is in line with your review, being decent for airflow and reasonably quiet. I've tested a 7600 and 7800X3D on a B550 motherboard using both a good air cooler and an older but okay 280mm AIO, both with very good results. Graphics cards tested ranged from an older HD 7970 to a GT 1030 to a fairly new and power hungry 6900XT(XH), all of which did well. I don't think I'd buy these fans over others, unless I had some need to match the styling, RGB, etc. I really like the case, but if I bought it again, I'd probably skip the "Ultra" and get the Pro for $30 less, then get Arctic P14 Max fans or similar that you recommend.
first I'm glad my testing is similar to your findings. It seams like most cases that come with fans are this way. Like i have the Torrent. The fans are fine but only mid tier in my rankings other than the 180mm at the front and that's partially because there are so few fans that size on the market.
