Best cooler/case/fan combo for high-performance quietness?

Have you a link for this?
Genuinely curious...

Fan simply has rather low pressure rating so if there is much if any resistance to airflow (like grill &/or filter) it has to be running at almost full speed to have much if any airflow. Even a fan rated 1.5mm H2O static pressure is only creating as much pressure differential from intake to exhaust side of fan at full speed to be as much as the difference in air on our feet versus our waist standing at sea level. Obviously that isn't much of a difference. ;)

Meh... It's pretty on-par with other similar fan types of it's time - Corsair AF120, Enermax Everest, Noiseblocker Blacksilent Pro PK-2 and the eLoop B12-2.
More notably, it has the same performance as them, but is notably quieter than most of the others.
 
While some love their Arctic P fans some are having problems. and some are going bad after less than 2 years.

Now we get people saying "Arctic P has a 10 year warranty". Well that 10 year warranty depreciated 10% per year based on original purchase price, which is without VAT. At 10% per year a fan that cost £5.00 minus VAT is £4.00 and if it goes bad in 5 years at 10% per year warranty is£2.00. And if Arctic wants fan returned to verify defect with their main offices in Germany it will cost more post than £5.00 original price to send it in.

Here are a few quotes out of Arctic warranty:
If there are any defects in materials or workmanship in your Arctic product during the warranty period, Arctic will remedy these defects at its own expense by repairing or supplying new or refurbished parts. Arctic has the right to choose the means of remedying the defect. In individual cases, due to the constantly advancing technology, the repair or replacement of the product may result in disproportionate costs for Arctic. In this case, Arctic is entitled to refund the fair value of the product instead of repairing or replacing it. Arctic will calculate the fair value by taking into account the objective nature of the product. The fair value will be at least the amount of the purchase price, less 10% at the end of each year after delivery. For example, at the end of the third year after delivery, the fair value will be at least the amount of the purchase price, less 30%.

Arctic can only grant claims under this warranty if you send the product along with the original receipt/original proof of purchase showing the date of purchase and the seller to the location specified by Customer Service (for example, to a repair center). The product must be properly packaged to avoid damage during shipping.

You are responsible for the cost of returning the device and Arctic will pay for the cost of sending the repaired or replaced device to you.

Hopefully the above will show people how little this "10 year warranty" is really worth.
 
Noctua D15 - CPU coolre
Noctua NF-A14 PWM - 3x case fans (2 intake, 1 exhaust)
Fractal Define R6/R7

I have the above setup and my PC is very quiet under typical usage. The temps are also respectable. 2600X is 33C idle, 50ish load. My RX 570 is a hot card under load though (70C), but that's not due to the case/fans.
