Hello, Ive just built a rig with the Prodigy M by Bitfenix and the case fans that come with these are deadly silent and i like that!
At the moment i have AF120 series by Corsair and theyre just too loud.

Any recommendations? Obviously better airflow is better for my system but I do like the silent approach

Noctua also has the redux line which are similar to their standard fans but instead of two tone brown/earth tones they come in two tone gray. The redux are a bit cheaper by a couple dollars and the difference is they lack the rubber corner vibration dampeners (shouldn't be an issue, mine aren't), low noise adapter cables and use the slightly older bearing design. Still high quality and same warranty.

For the 140mm fan mount at the rear the phanteks fans move quite a bit of air and are quiet. I can't speak for their 120mm versions. If you can find them, bequiet's silent wings fans are also quiet, almost dead silent but may not move quite as much air as you want.
