Posted April 20, 2014 My dad's PC is quite loud, and we've narrowed the cause down to his 92mm exhaust fan. I have some options for what we can replace it with, and would appreciate your opinion on which would fit the bill the best; quietest without sacrificing too much performance.

The Fractal fans are surprisingly good, and the F9 is nothing to thumb your nose at.

Posted April 24, 2014 Author Arctic F9 PWM CO. Dad just put the new fan into the case, and HOLY BALLS at the difference it's made. Aside from the fan on the stock intel heatsink spinning up, the case is damn near silent. Thank you so much for the advice. My Battlestation.
