I had the 3.5" version and it was noisy so I sent it back and shallowed 15% restock fee. Those old fan controllers are ancient and there are many new fan controllers that are better. Decent controller should go lower than 7V.
Zalman has one that switchs from 12 V or 5 V and PWM, makes life really easy.

I really like the T-balancer or crystal fontz reviewed by Joe. Haven't got my grimmy hands on one yet but I will soon. $$$ shortage.

SALKIN

9 blade fan = glacialtech silentblades.
I heard at low RPM these 25mm fans ~ nexus fan but degrade with age because of ball bearings. I never heard about 35mm fan but I bet it's similiar to panaflo or worse.
