Are these the exact same fan?

The model number is the same, and the operating voltages are the same, but the dB isn't listed for the Yate loon, which is considerably cheaper. Am I getting the same fan for $7 less if I buy the Yate loon?

the Nexus fan is a Yate-Loon fan with an inline resistor so that the Nexus spins at 1000rpm while the yate-loon spins at 1350rpm.
the yate-loon is slightly louder, but pushes more air. The yate-loon also ramps down very well, so if you use a fan controller you can make it effectively silent.

Thanks. Think I'll go with the Yate Loon. My motherboard has the uguru panel for fan control, so that should work well.
