There's a list
here seems to me that the nanoxia deep silence 140mm are the quietest for the price at £16.32 each of course you can always question whether the figures are accurate on the reviews annoyingly the
amazon sales page says the airflow is measured at
116,4 M³/h(cubic metre per hour) than the quiet pc list that says it is measured at 68.5 cubic foot per min.
or the
noctua nf-p14 redux 900 £13.99 looks cheaper but lower cfm.
here's a converter 116.4 cubic metre/hour is 68.5cfm so the advertised/reviewed figures agree and seem consistent with each other.
Read more reviews for each product for more detailed info. You decide if an extra 15cfm is worth £2.33 per fan.
The
be quiet silent wings are 15.5dba, (28.8dba at 1000rpm) same price as nanoxia, ( on amazon) but has 300,000 hours mtbf due to fluid dynamic bearing. vs 80,000 hours on nanoxia but is still only 14.4dba at full speed. Doesn't seem to be a perfect choice the very quietest one has a shorter life. Of 9 years.
The PWM version of the nanoxia is £14.41 and 16.2dba. 75cfm.
There is also an
1800rpm nanoxia 3 pin version for £14.99 which is 20.8dba full speed and 98cfm.
One of the reviews says that sometimes one can have a bad bearing out of the box and makes noise but the reviewer said the noctuas he bought have never been doa in 12 years. Since they only seem to have one or two in stock dunno how easy it would be to rma a naff one.
