Phanteks PH-F120SP red led fans, any good?

[Orijin16]

I'm looking to place an order at the end of this week for some upgrades to my water loop and these caught my attention due to being quite cheap (~£7.50 each), as I need 7 of them and I'm on a tight budget.

My main priority is noise, with performance being a secondary consideration as these will be used for:
4 vertical mount in Push-pull on a 240mm alphacool monsta (intake)
2 horizontal mount in Pull on a 240mm magicool g2 slim (intake)
1 as Rear case exhaust
On a cpu only loop (for now), and connected to a Phanteks PWM hub via the cpu fan header, which will be controlled by my usual fan profile ranging from 5% PWM (everything <40c) up to 60% (60c), and finally hitting max at 80c+.

I haven't been able to find any reviews so just wondering if anyone has had any experience with these fans?

the MP version (made for radiators) apparently isn't that great in performance. Noise wise, not the most pleasant noise except at 900RPM

The HP version (made for CPU coolers) performs better. Noise wise, it's pleasant sounding at or under 940RPM (7V or lower), which gives you better range than the MP. I believe the Sp version may be similar to the HP version, but I'm not sure

Thankyou for the reply.

I've read buyer reviews on newegg that sound positive, but I do prefer to read professional reviews.

I believe the Phanteks PWM hub only goes as low as 9v rather than 7v.

I guess I'll just see how it goes, I can always ditch the hub and wire them for 7v if necessary, and the full set will cost just over half what it would cost for EK Vardars (I have 1 Vardar F4 already, which is excellent at low rpm, so was going to buy a full set of F4's until I saw these).
