silent high setting fans??

[Electroshadow]

hi

my system currently has:

2x 120mm blue alaska fans
3x 60mm blue alaska fans

which sounds a bit like a jet engine starting up lol....

i need to replace them with some silent running fans which a quite when running a full speed as the system is located in quite a tight space where the fans need to be on full to get a good air flow going.

can anyone recommend some good fans which are quite on full speed settings, if they were to light up that would be good as well.

Nexus/Yate Loon offer great performance on a budget, but if you have to use 60mm fans, you will be hard pressed to find any that are both quiet and shift much air, 60mms are by design small and noisy

Plenty of choice for quiet 120mm here. Depends on yr budget
For 60mm try this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...e=AcoustiFan DustProof Quiet 60mm Fan - 3 pin
v good but out of stock
Where are these 60's? 2 solutions cut a bigger hole(s) to accept 80mm or change yr case. With fans bigger is better cfm & usually quieter too
