I am getting a CoolerMaster Hyper T4 CPU Cooler and was wondering what fans I should get. (or should i keep the stock ones??) I want some pretty quiet fans (preferably black), that can also produce some good airflow. I was also wondering what set up I should use for my cooler, push,pull or push/pull or what configuration you guys recommend?
I would get the 212 evo but it does not fit my case :(
Thanks
 
Solution
30 is the sound of a quiet library or a large empty room. Bear in mind that's only on full blast which will be pretty much never depending on how you curve your fans. PWM on the motherboard and you likely wouldn't be able to hear it over the ambient noise in the room, let alone the noise coming from your computer (PSU, for example).

There's PLENTY of other choices. The stock Sickleflow fans on most CM heat sinks aren't bad but get noisy over about 60% or so. I guess I would wait and see how noisy it is, might not need something else.

Okay, this sounds pretty promising thanks!
I will definitely be purchasing one of these HP-12's for my heatsink cooler :)
