It's 4 years old so yes, would love to have newer data. The new Noctua fans, 5 years in the making, would be a welcome addition. But as that example demonstrates, bringing a better design to market and getting into the top 5 is a lengthy process
The ML120 pro has proven itself to be a very quiet fan but needs more performance to crack the top 5. Also at 2400 rpm, it's a design well suited for high fpi radiators that have long since gone out of vogue. I think they'd make a good replacement say for Corsair's H100i, but for case and copper rads of today, I'd be looking for 1200 rpm. Seems the in doubling the rpm however, there should be more cfm output
The Silent Wings are a very good fan, tho again a bit hi rpm for what I would want to use on today's copper rads (8 - 12 fpi) or as in case fans. In a case with insufficient fan mounts where one had to move up to 1500 - 1800 rpm, they would be at the top of the list. But, since we design for a max rpm of 850 under all but stress test loadings, with a top speed of just above 50%, it leaves too little of a control range.
