i'm looking for 2x120mm case fans or 2x140mm but with 120mm mounting hole as intake for my cm mb511 case.
i was looking at the scythe kaze flex 120mm 1200rpm and be quiet pure wings 2(both for around 8-10$) and don't know what to chose. i'd really want them to be silent up to 1000-1200rpm and not have that annoying bearing noise
i have as exhaust a bq sw3 and it is very silent up to 1200rpm but it's a pretty expensive fan
can i get something better for the 10$ price range? please no arctic f12/14 fans recommendations, had them and they are loud and make an annoying bearing sound
 
I would go with be quiet! Pure Wings 2 or Cooler Master SickleFlow 120. They're quiet and inexpensive.
With times fans might start to make noises...cause by dust and wear and tear. Keeping them clean and lubricated will help extend life span.
Have you try controlling their speed in the BIOS to reduce noise.
