Summary of fan performance
The Coolink SWiF 1201 is a nice performing fan. 12v performance was pretty good. Not too loud and produced very good levels of back pressure. However, i would say that there was a little too much fan whine at this voltage – depending on the user this might not be too intrusive but in a set up aiming for silence it could be an issue.

It’s a different story at 7v as i found it was very quiet while still producing acceptable levels of back pressure – not a great deal but justifiable given the low volume level. There was no fan whine and no clicking from running undervolted. It also span up quite easily at this voltage too.
