The best 120mm in term of performance and quietness IMO are the noctra fans.
But they are kinda expensive at more than 20 bucks a peice. But whatever you do, STAY AWAY from the slienX fans.....bunch of garage.

the best price/quiet performance are Yate Loons.
Next would be Scythe Slipstreams. I upgraded my Yates to scythes. If you want real quiet then get Noctua, but they're about $20 each. I've got a p12 on my cpu cooler and I'd like to get another for my gpu cooler, but not right now.

These Yate Loons should come out to about 2 for $10
They also have medium and low speed ones there for the same price

What about 120x38 fans? Are those usually better in terms of dba:cfm ratio?

Scythe SY1225SL12SH 120mm "Slipstream" 110 CFM at 37 db
__________________http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835185060 I use 3 of these in my P182 with an Ultra 4 channel fan controller http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...?EdpNo=2559758 Im about to replace my OCZ Vendetta 2 fan with one of these as well. The Noctuas are nice but I cant bring my self to spend $80 on 4 fans only doing 50cfm.
