I need a new set of fans, the noise is killing me.
I have four YS-TECH FD128025HD (2 intake and 2 exhaust) and 1 Antec Blue LED fan (side intake over GPU and Northbridge). I have them all in a fan controller but with them all on full the PC sounds like a jet engine warming up.
Here's a more detailed description:
I need very quiet running fans with a high air output, especially on the side intake which seems to give the most cooling to my Northbridge which drops the motherboard temperature from 45c down to 37c with the side intake on full power
but this is the noisiest! With all fans on full CPU is at 36c down from 39c, motherboard is at 36c down from 45c, and all hard drivers are below 30c (except my maxtor 
). All temps are under load.
I will be getting a HSF solution for the northbridge (Asus P5W DH board) to keep the temperatures down as well I think. Not sure which one though, once again quiet but powerful.
Any recommendations?

Here's a more detailed description:
- Lower Intake - Blows over my audigy and into the GPU cooler
- Upper Intake - Blows over 2 hard drives then out straight into my Arctic Freezer 7
- Lower Exhaust - Pulls air out from over the top of the GPU and Arctic Freezer 7
- Upper Exhast - Pulls hot air from the top of the case under the PSU
- Side Intake - Blows over the profile of the graphics card and on to the passive northbridge heatsink
