I would recommend these fans : Akasa Pirahna, Scythe Gentle Typhoons (Not made anymore but the best fans), Or Noise Blockers Pl-2 Had experience with all of them and there all great!

Apologies for initially posting this in the wrong sub forum, would you not recommend the corsairs due to their price? I'm looking for the highest air flow with the least amount of noise.
 
Yeah plus I would be looking to keep it under 20dBA with over 60CFM, the fans I've listed should hopefully provide that
 
I second ttaskmaster, Noctua fans running with the included fan speed reducer will result in a quiet, high flow fan. They are more expensive but I always found I got a little whine from the motors on the Corsair SP or AF fans.

I personally run mine from molex to 3 pin adapters to ensure they get the right amount of power at all times. Plus it's tidier which means less cables and more airflow!
