Hi

 

I have a Thermaltake armor mx+ and i want to change the front intake and back exhaust fan, i was thinking of putting a silverstone air penetrator 121 for the front intake and for the exhaust a silverstone air penetrator 122

 

I would like to know which fans would you recomend  just not noctuas because of the Price range. I read that the front intake should problably be one with a high air preassure because of the harddrive bays, I have one ssd and two harddrives installed .

Silverstone's AP series are a great choice if you want low but effective cost fans.

Honestly, you've already chosen two great fans and the correct placement for them. 

Corsair 250d - - Delidded i7 4770k @ 4.4GHz (1.15v) - - Asus Maximus VI Impact - - Corsair h100i  

Asus DirectCU II OC GTX780 - - NZXT x41 & G10 w/ Push/Pull Noctua IndustrialPPC's - - Corsair ax760i 

16GB Corsair Vengeance 2133Mhz  - - Samsung 840 pro (boot) - - Samsung Evo (gaming) - - WD green HDD (data)

Let us know how quiet they are. My Phanteks and Noctua 140mm fans are loud at 12v.

Most fans are loud at 12v, the quiet ones are the ones that are design to have a lower RPM at 12v. But that doesn't meant that all fans are loud and loud is a relative term from person to person.
