Default Which fan for my PSU?

Noctua P-12: 19db and 52 CFM.

or

Silverstone FM121: 17-40db and 110 CFM.

I like that I can get the noctua much quieter than the silverstone but I'm not sure whether 52 CFM is enough.

I didn't realize you wanted it in your PSU.

The Noctua would be better.

I'd put the FM121 in your cooler.

Whats wrong with your current PSU fan? You'll void the warranty by opening it.

Already opened it and put an Antec PSU fan in that's a little quiter. I'll just get a second Noctua. I don't need 110 CFM for overclocking.

I got what's been a common issue with this PSU: bad fans. It's hit or miss as to whether you get good ones and I got two with very loud fans, so I gave up sending it back and decided to find a good replacement fan instead.
