Case Fans

I need to get a some extra fans into my case to cool the system down, my new GTX570 SC is running a little toasty.

Are these any good; http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-021-SY&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=4

Planning on buying 3. 1 back, top and front.

Thanks, AStaley.

Which case do you have ?

Exhaust fans don't need to be overly fast i'd get an akasa viper for front and lower rpm quiet fans for the exhausts.
The vipers are well regarded and i think silverstone air penetrators would work well as a front intake too and I also really like thermalrights new fans and that 120mm liquid state 1000rpm fan they have looks very decent.

I've received the 3 fans, and have two of them installed. With a little loss of blood. But I can't install the fan in the top of the case, the 4 pin connector won't fit the header on my MB as I have a capaciter in the way. In this an adapter I can get that fit's a 4pin molex?
