Replacing 140mm fans

Hey,

 

I have a CM Nepton 280l with the Jet fans. JET FANS. On max they are very loud. They are loud also on 700 RPM during idle. I was thinking to switching to quieter fans. Noctua NF-A14 PWM seems like fans to go. Any good quiet cheap alternatives?

or NF-P14S' are good: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/k9xfrH/noctua-case-fan-nfp14sredux1200

Arctic makes some nice fans that are very reasonably priced.

To RGB, or not to RGB? That is the question.

I just added two Corsair AF140 fans to my case and they pretty quiet.

 

They cost me AUD$18 each. I guess that's cheap...i guess that's about $1.50 US?:S

The fans that are on the CM Nepton 240M are so quiet even at 2000RPM.

IDK what they are called though.

Maybe try replacing them with Browns fans? They're pretty quiet, you just get some gentle sobbing on Sundays.
