Default Just realized my fans suck.

My computer ever sense I built it has been obnoxiously loud.. I mean ridiculous loud. You could hear it in another room with the door shut.. So I decided to unplug my 5 green led fans, leaving just the 120mm cpu fan, and front led fan that came with my cm690 and wow... computer is just about silent... Can anyone recommend some quiet 120~140mm fans for my case? Cause temps naturally have gone up 10c.

not the BEST airflow, but it gets the job done and is one of the quietest you'll find

another great fan with a very low dB level:

and finally the product by scythe which is always a favorite of mine
