I'm going to get 2xnoctua fans for top of case but which do you think is best 800rpm or 1200rpm?

800rpm for sure - out of all the fans in the case - those are the one that will be easiest to hear

Heh - I remember getting at that GPU fan lol

Took about 10 minutes & 12 screws in total iirc

Not exactly hard though - just teadious

You need a 6inch long thin screwdriver which is magnetic as the screws are a bastid to reach inside inside the fan enclosure and harder to get back in.

Yep..that's what I think too and haven't even got the case yet.
I think 1200 for the rear though and for the gpu if you are running G80's in sli. Should still be hard to hear as the rear fan has a very open grille and I don't see anything behind the gpu fan blocking airflow and causing noise.

Eh - I just went for 5x 800rpm fans for the case and 1x 1200rpm for the tuniq

Eh ?

I was agreeing that 800rpm fans are best but might be better with a 1200rpm for rear exhaust and gpu cooling, that's all.

Just meant it as a shrug - I couldn't be bothered messing around with 1200/800 around the case - so just went for 800s all around

Just wanted to make it as quiet as possible - wasn't sure where to put them/how many of each would be the best

Hi all, Anybody know if I would be able to roof mount a BIX 120.2 or even a Thermochill PA120.2 in the TJ09. Is there enough space

There's enough space... only thing is the fans are spaced apart a bit - so you'll have to drill new holes
