Hi All,
recently I have been looking to replace my case fans, being about 12 years old it's probably about time ahead of a full upgrade next year.
I currently have 5x120mm Arctic Cooling fans cooling a Cooler Master Cosmos case, 1 of them is on the CPU Heatsink (a Zalman CNPS10X). Would prefer 2 on there, but the ram is in the way and its set to suck air, not blow onto the heatsink. I like the fans as they are quiet, and the 'network' link means less hassle setting them up to be as quiet as possible while still ramping up only when under load.
The fans I have are the older 120mm variant of this.
Preferences:
Noki
Short of an specific model recommendation what should I be looking for, bearing type, number of blades and shape, that sort of thing?

Preferences:
- Quiet (near silent) operation.
- 2-Way mounting.
- No RGB nonsense.
- Fair price (around £10-15 or thereabouts)
