Hello guys, ive got a 280mm AIO. I was wondering which of these two would fit the best in my system. I want QUIET operation not the best performance but I dont want crappy temp too !

First, these are both excellent fans.

The Noctuas seems to be slightly quieter, to my ear at least.  The be quiet has a slightly higher pitch noise to it.  

If looks are of any concern than you should consider the Noctua's brown and tan-ness, though there should be black versions available too.
