Need silent fans that push a lot of air

I'm looking for silent fans for around $15 and I was told the Scythe GTs are good, but other people were also suggesting other fans such as Noiseblockers (which seem to be very expensive) and Bitfenix Spectre Pro. I don't want noctuas because looks are important to me

 I guess the GTs are still best because the Helix have $12 shipping :mellow:

Here in sweden the Gentle typhoons are running out of stock, just 3000 rpm and 500rpm's left, i got corsair 2 pack 120/140 quiet editions instead and saved quite a lot of money.

What about Corsair air series...

What about static pressure series?

You shouldnt use any of their fans imo. Linus gives an example youtube.com/watch?v=fNEuSRc6xt8 @ 7:35

You can go with silverstone ap121's and theyre the quietest when you use a fangrill.

Ya but airflow is not that good...air series quite edition has slightly more airflow in both 120mm as well as 140mm... :)

Even the 140mm corsair af140 has more airflow and is quiter than silverstone ap141....

and linus didn't said dont buy corsair fans and who cares about ur opinion...

 

See for urself...

Uh? A fan like the 140mm you linked has 70CFM and the 120mm has 40 CFM so the 120mm cant have more airflow..

I'd get GTs, but if you can't find any, I'd go for Black Silent Pros or eloops from noiseblocker.
