    So I read over it in more detail today and so the final conclusion is essentially this:

    Best Case Fan:
    <27dB Sharkoon Golfball 2000
    >27dB Papst 4412FGML

    Best Radiator Fan:
    <27dB Sharkoon Golfball 2000
    >27dB Papst 4412FGML

    Best CPU Heatsink Fan:
    Sharkoon 2000 pretty much the whole way.

    Am I right? Those results would be because those fans show the highest cfm per 1 dB, right?

    If yes, I think I'm going to be getting some 4412FGML's soon

    Links for the lazy:

    Sharkoon 2000 -->> http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...ducts_id=20832

    EDIT : One thing I forgot to mention is "best cfm to dB ratio within a certian reasonable limit" because when I calculated a few of the #s (from eyeballing it) I saw the 100+ cfm fans doing well over 2cfm per 1dB which is really good but those fans measured as being very loud. Am I right in assuming that too?
