I kind of get the point from the OP, fans can have about 80% cooling capability with a slow as about 30% RPM. Some fans I got from Amazon to cool my NUC, were all way too fast, and with no way to slow them down, had to use an attenuator.
I would like to see max fan speed have less emphasis in reviews.
Cheapest fan I have brought for PC use in the last 3 years was £24 (fractal), I have paid over £40 (noctua) for some fans, I guess we have different ideas of cheap, efficiency is important as I expect affects life expectancy of the fan, and of course noise.
I have 6 fans in my case that cost between £150 and £180 all Noctuas
