Do you mean run them at half speed on the fan controller or @6-7V. I get the same whine at half speed of the fan controller so its the same on all fans. At the lowest controller setting, I get a hum but they won't start up consistently so I leave it at where it will startup and rig the fan controller with some screws to keep the controller from getting any lower.

My experience is these fans have a distinct point where they hum to whine to vacumn cleaner. I don't know what speed it is but I pretty much leave it at humming. It is noticablely louder than my low speed and low noise CM fans but it gets more airflow even at the lowest setting vs CM fan at stock.

With headphones on during gaming I can't hear anything so I turn the suckers up!
