That's a small budget for good fans. I mean there are Arctic F12 and Arctic F14 which are great fans for the money but they're not particularly silent. (not loud either but mediocre at best)

 

Edit: Scythe slip stream are okay. bequiet pure wings are excellent for the money. And of course Corsair fans are okay, but not cheap at all.

who cares...

Yeah not silent unless you run them at 800rpm

Both of mine started giving incorrect rpm readings after 1 year of 24/7 use.

Replaced them asap with some Fractal Design fans, much better now :)

DO NOT GET $5 FANS THE WILL BE SO CHEAP AND LOUD AND WILL NOT PREFORM WELL

Rude much? And wrong.

Get some corsair AF fans

Way out of his price range, and there are much better fans cheaper.

I vote ap122, 9$ each at frozencpu.com
