Akasa Fan Difference?

Hey people,

Im getting good results now with my cooling, BUT....would two:

Akasa AK-FN059 120mm Ultra Quiet Viper Cool Fan

Make a difference in lowering my temp a few degrees, as I have the stock fan with a 5.99 akasa?

I don't really know about the fans that you linked, but i have two of these
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-061-AK

They are completely silent, so i keep them at 100% as there really is no difference noise-wise between 100 and 30!
I usually spend no more than 3-4 quid on case fans, but these really were worth the extra.
I know they are out of stock at the moment, but worth considering>

How are they for air movement? My current setup is real quiet so im not totally fussed about a little more noise.

i get very good system temps, and i largely put it down to these tbh

Are you talking case fans or HSF? For HSF, I'm really impressed with mine - load temps are a good 3-4c lower than they with with Apaches. On the flip side, they're noisier than the Apaches, so run them in PWM mode (buy a powered splitter)

Fans to run through a H50, so 2x120mm.
