Which fans for P180 & Tuniq?

[D3lirious]

Will this combination be nice and quiet with the stock fans? If not, can you recommend which fans I should go for, for quiet running and good airflow?

And how many should I order? 1 for tuniq, but how many for case?

Bets bet is to wait and see, something thats quiet to one person can be too loud for another.
The stock Tuniq fan is not quiet but you may find its adequate when undervolted. The p180 however should be quiet enough for most as it uses tri-cools and they are quite good.

OK thanks, I'll wait and see how it sounds.

Assuming I do get one for just the tuniq, do I need to find a fan with the same rpm as the stock one?

No, you can put whatever fan you like in there, (assuming it fits of course). You get a PCI slot thing to use as a fan controller so you can adjust it to taste, bear in mind though that some low rpm fans stall when turned down. I put mine on a Zalman multi fan thing at the front in a 5.25 bay. The stock fan's loud on full, too loud for my taste, but than I also changed the stock Tri-cools out for Noctua's...as Joe42 said though, silence is very much a personal thing.
