I'm looking for 1 140mm and 1 120mm fans. I would like them to be quiet, but relatively cheap, so no $40 noctuas. Any suggestions would help

Corsair fans are pretty far from quiet in general...

Hyperboreas would be quieter:

Noctua fans are not costly as NF-F12 are rs 1227 and corsair sp120 are at rs1430 in india

and Noctua has better bearing, silent as hell, and 6 years warrenty

compared to corsairs plastic bearing which dries up every 6 monts and 1 year warranty
