Generally when asking this in here it's the "best" fan wanted which is usually the wrong side of Noctua's for price.

Assuming a budget of about a tenner a fan (hoping for bulk buy discounts on top) is there any useful suggestions? I'm after a good, quiet, decent static pressure radiator fan, 120mm.

Currently on a mix of the OcUK badged silverstones and all sorts of random pairs. If the silverstones are a good shout, another 6 of those could be quite decent.
 
Already got a good few of the ones mentioned in the first couple.

Question then: If I have them on a PWM splitter board will the "sense" from the PWM on the fan in plug that carries the sense back to the motherboard plug allow the fanspeed to be set nicely on those silverstones? Or is 3 pin always just voltage adjustment? (I'm guessing the later) so it would just run 100% on a PWM splitter?

Basically if I have something like a Gelid 4 to 1 PWM splitter, have a PWM fan in the plug that has the 4th pin and 3 pin fans in the rest, do the 3pins get their speed adjusted according to what the PWM fan sets or do they just run 100% (because they're voltage adjusted instead)?
