These are just regular 4-pin PWM fans. You can always plug them in a 4-pin fan headers on the MB and control the speed via MB BIOS or its manufacturer software. If you don't have enough 4pin headers for more fans, you can always buy cheap third-party fan hub to control their speed manually. There will be no need for Commander hub as they are for Corsair RGB iCUE stuffs.

Are you saying that Commander hub is the only solution to achieve zero rpm? These are just 4pin PWM fans. I can attest that I can manually adjust the speed of these fans manually with any fan controller on Amazon from 0-100%. Why should I have to shell out $80 for a RGB fan hub to control non-RGB PWM fans?

Their warranty is shorter than a (normally) cheaper noctua equivalent. To me this, and the fact that they make no "lifespan" claims doesn't sell the fan at this price point.
If you want quiet, I would strongly suggest looking for deals on Corsair's Quiet Edition or Noctua or BeQuiet fans.

Server rack fans are insanely loud, these fans are nowhere near that loud. Any case fan can be loud at full speed. I personally have 12 of these ML fans running inside my Define R6 and I barely hear them. Learn to set your fan curve appropriately.
just to note, some people mistaken case vibrations as fan noise, use rubber washers to dampen the sound.
I got these a few years back and they were just loud (not insanely loud) with a very annoying high pitch whine at full speed. It also didn't help the case was an airflow focused Corsair case as oppose a Define R5/R6/7 case which has noise damping panels to help with the issue. Lowering the fan speed was the only way to make these fan tolerable but I ended up replacing these fans with quieter ones.
