Soldering the fan to the mobo is a suck move. However, they used a good quality bearing-less fan.

Can you gve me areson? will it suck out the perfomance?

Because it makes replacing the motherboard more difficult. For a few cents more, they could have placed a small connector inline between the fan and motherboard, making disconnecting the fan and top case really easy.
