Best/quietest fans for EK-CoolStream RAD XT (360)

[mike gunnz]

As above, I'm looking to replace the three 120mm D12SL Yate Loons on my rad with the quietest fans possible. Whats good these days? There are so many options I havent a clue what to go for.

Maybe better to get a fan controller? That way cooling is there where you need it most.

I have a fan controller (Sunbeam Rheobus) but I'm also a silence junkie. Even the faint hum of the Yates at low RPMs is irritating me now so I want quieter fans.

Scythe gentle typhoons, great static pressure and airflow with good acoustics.

Bought the 140mm version of this fan the other day to use as an intake. Should be arriving this week.

I always run fans off a controller, just makes for a cleaner look.

Yes thats true no wires on mobo or anything.

Well went with 3 x Scythe Gentle Typhoons (1450RPM version) in the end. £40 for 3 fans seems excessive but there you go. I need to find a cheaper hobby...
