Today I upgraded from an R9 290 with reference cooler design to an EVGA GTX 980 FTW. Needless to say, I am blown away by the 980's performance, thermal efficiency, and quietness!

But now that gaming doesn't make me feel like I'm standing in the jet stream of an F-22, I have noticed that my case fans are really quite loud.

I have 3 fans, one blowing air out the top of the case, and two as intake at the front that also pull air through my CPU's watercooling radiator.

Can anyone recommend me some really quiet 120mm case fans? Since the two on the front are pulling air through a radiator, I'm guessing those two should be static pressure fans.
 


Noctuas are great! If you want quiet, Id go with this.
Not denying that the colors make me wanna puke but they are good fans

Yeah I've seen those recommended a lot. Are those good as radiator fans as well? Also do you have any recommendations in mind that aren't ugly brown and browner? XD
 

Haha that particular model fan is more suited for case fans. Not as static pressure optimized and the Rpms wouldnt kick up high enough to be used as one in my opinion.
For a decent looking quiet enough case fan 120mm maybe this? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA68V21E0546&cm_re=Quiet_case_fan-_-9SIA68V21E0546-_-Product
