120mm Case Fans

[Natalia]

I currently have Vantec Stealth case fans and I really want to have a quiet computer. Right now I have a total of 8 in my case (4 on the side, one on the rear, 2 on the front, on on the top).

This Cooler Master 4 in 1 pack seems like a really good deal dollar wise. But would it be worth it to try and hunt down some of these 13dBA fans, or is the 19dBA in that 4-pack going to be a big enough improvement over my 28?

These would be the "Nicer" ones I am considering...

I really just want it to be quite :-)

I would avoid coolermaster for fans, i have tried a few types of theirs and they are all noisier than specified, by quite a lot.

I haven't had experience with the Enermax fans but i think if you really want a quiet computer look for scythe s-flex or gentle typhoon and always below 1200rpm.

Also a slightly cheaper but decent choice is these arctic cooling fans http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835186033 I have 3 of these in a small HTPC case and when run below 700rpm they are totally silent, I have them all daisy chained off the cpu pwm output on my motherboard and have speedfan controlling them between 20-60% power, above 60% they become loud but not intolerable. I think with 8 case fans you could easily get away with low rpm.

I have two Enermax T.B. Silenci and are very quiet. The vibration of them is 0.
The package with the four CM' are pretty bad, not recommend.

OBS: sorry for bad english

I ended up buying 9 of the Enermax ones, seven for the case and two for my Thermaltake Water2.0 Pro.
