Default Rate these fans for inaudibleness.
Not sure if inaudibleness is a word, but I'll use it anyway. I need some sleep, as all insomniacs do. I tried to match the case fans so I could get equal pressure. I also wasn't sure below 10db was necessary, since 10db is a whisper.

The 120mm fan will provide more airflow without being louder. the silverstone fan will be very loud unless you have it on a fan controller.

Just look at the dB rating for each fan. anything below ~19 is completely inaudible.

it almost doesnt make sense to get fans with that little airflow

it may change your system temps 3-4 celcius max

Go for something with 50cfm or more off of newegg.com

If you want quiet but also want there to actually be significant airflow, you have to get SilenX! 120mm preferably.

I've heard nothing but bad reviews about silenx.

I may just go all out and get this 80mm then:

I cant use a 140mm.

I've thought about the S-Flex E and not the F for a case fan.

Anyone tried these?

I'm wonder what CFM I need for my PSU. If 76 CFM is enough, I'll go with these.

You must not be concerned with noise level if your looking for 76CFM
