Can someone plaese let me know which are the quietest fans to buy? I am looking for some 120mm ones.

Noctuas are quiet but expensive.

Yate loon D12SL -12 are cheap and barely audible.

I have two Noctuas P12s on 220 rad and I cannot hear them when running 100% speed.
ALso have YL 120 red led version - at 100% you can hear a VERY quiet humming sound but it is still very quiet..
If you have money for it - buy Noctuas. If you need a bit more air pushed at less price - YL.

Noctua fans might be the best one
Really quite and good performance

But bit... pricy

I have a few diff fans and the only way to make them silent is to keep them under 1,000 rpm with a fan controller.

I've got some Sharkoon 1000's and they're very quiet running stock.

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...name=Xilence XPF120R Red Wing 120mm Quiet Fan

It doesn't push as much air as it says it does but its still pretty good.

Noctuas are the quietest, but not the cheapest.
