inb4 Noctua nf-f12. They don't look too good, though. Get BeQuiet! Fans when they come out or Noctua NF-F12s if they are released in black.

Get Noiseblockers or BeQuiets or even Enermax's Twister Bearing fans are quite good

Depends on your price range.

 

Gently Typhoons AP-14 and AP-15 are pretty much as quiet as they get for their RPM. Cheaper then Noctuas

NoiseBlocker XL1s are even quieter (lower RPM) for a little bit cheaper

I swear by cougars, now after I changed my case to 820 black as well, I still use them, dead quiet - the only thing making sound in my case is my pump...

 

which I already got some sound dampening foam to place :D

Check out the build: Used to be Obot, now Lilith

Shameless: Me
