Hi does anyone have any suggestions as to which rgb fans are silent and motherboard controllable?

I have 3 x ezdiy 120mm fans installed
And although their light output is exceptional i just find that their sound output is too existent for my liking

Plus, the other trouble with these fans is the lights can be controlled but the actual RPM speed of the fans is not controllable by the mobo


Therefore my requirements are:

- 3/4 RGB silent fans
- controllable RGB lights and controllable fan RPM speed by the mobo.

Any recommendations? Or do these types of fans actually exist
 
If we want to get technical this is my current fan ratings:

  • Size:120*120*25mm
  • Fan Speed:1200(±10%)RPM
  • Noise Level:21dBA Max:25dBA
  • Airflow:48.7CFM
  • Air Pressure: 0.9mm-H20 Min:0.6mm-H20
  • Bearing :Hydraulic Bearing
  • Rated Voltage :DC12V
  • Rated Power:1.68W
So im prob running em at 21dba
So im looking for something even less should it exist

I see other fans listed as ‘silent’ at 25db which i struggle to understand
 
Thanks
I think it needs to be argb

As they fit my mobo the 5volt ones
I will take a look at those fans and in specific the db rating
 
Ok so them fans are rated at < 26db my current fans are prob 21db which is less

As u said prob depends on speed so less than 1000rpm
Guess the adv of the fans u mentioned is their speed can be controlled
 
so the colours look a bit diff on the newer fans plus there are no reviews for the V3 either on a very well known site
 
i have the sl120 v2's and very good but over 900 RPM not silent and don't really move much air under 900
im personally thinking of going back to the D30's, stunning fans and the RGB looks amazing
D30 phanteks?

If so, They are pricey nearly £30 a fan
 
But did make me ponder regarding which way a fan faces inside of a case

I mean right now it is all ascetics lol
