I would only use them as a last resort.

Blower fans usually are quite noisy, especially when spinning fast.  The 4020 fan does not specify but the 4010 says it is 24-26 dBA at max speed of about 5000rpm.  For comparison, an Noctua 40x10 fan generates 20 dBA at max 5000 rpm.

But, I think the weakest link is its airflow volume.  I expect it to be around 0.07-0.09 m3/min at max rpm.  For comparison, an Noctua 40x10 gives about 0.14 m3/min.


Having said all these, I suppose when you really need ventilation at tight spots, these blowers should still be useful.
