It's Noctua NF-A6x25 FLX model, it comes with L.N.A. and U.L.N.A. adapters, that makes it spin slower. Probably resistor modded adapters from factory. 😀
Here in Latvia that Gelid fan is priced similar to Noctua, 3-4€ difference, but availability is poor.

Can confirm that the low noise adapters just put a resistor on the 12v line. Bear in mind that even at 3000RPM these Noctua fans are almost alarmingly quiet -- I had to keep checking for about the first day I had it that it was still spinning.

Shoushi: Dimension 9200, QX6700, 8GB D2-800CL5, K2200, SB0730, 1TB SSD, XP/7
Kara: K7S5A Pro, NX1750, 512MB DDR-286CL2, Ti4200, AU8830, 64GB SD2IDE, 98SE (Kex)
Cragstone: Alaris Cougar, 486BL2-66, 16MB, GD5428, CT2800, 16GB SD2IDE, 95CNOIE

Sounds Excellent! Looks like a potential for a little OC headroom, 1.5GHz maybe. 😀
