Shame about the block. Would have been the perfect time to remedy the aesthetic complaints about the last redesign.

Most of these are decent improvements, but the choice of fans is disappointing.
I see how Corsair accomplished those noise levels - by using fans with reduced top rpm speeds. The "old" SP fans had 2000 - 2400 rpm, the good retail Corsair mag-lev fans are 2400 rpm, but the mag-levs included in these "Pro" models are only 1200 - 1600 rpm fans. Clever, Corsair. save money now with the cheaper fans, make money later by selling them the good fans. The included fans may be "good enough", and they are mag-lev, but these reduced rpm mag-lev fans are not sold separately, only with pro coolers. I'm sure most people won't notice, at least not until it's too late.
You don't want ML fans running with full speed..

I run my ML120s on my custom loop with a silent fan profile. I can take a small hit from performance, as long my PC stays quiet.
