Case Fans

Hey guys, can anyone recommend me some good case fans from amazon.co.uk? They must be silent and inexpensive. I was looking at the Arctic F12 PWM as they have a female 4-pin fan connector coming out of the male connector, meaning you can connect more than one fan in the same header without buying a splitter.

 

Many thanks, Bruno.

The Noctua fans are expensive. One fan is about £20. I was looking to spend around £5.

I've got a Fractal Design Silent R3 as my exhaust fan and it's pretty quiet. Airflow isn't phenomenal, but it's decent as an exhaust fan. For intake fans, I'd honestly spend a little more. I spent £15 on a Noctua Redux fan and it's miles better than any other fan in my system. Admittedly it's like a jet at full whack, but you only need to run it at 50% speed or below to get ample airflow out of it, making it almost silent.

I have a higher budget than this, but it seems a bit too much for a couple fans. I might go for be quiet fans.
