TriCools are junk IMO.

I have 4 of these, two 120's and two 80's, the 120's are both starting to make a rattling noise. Poor bearing design or something.

I've replaced the 80mm's a while back, didn't last even 6 months.

I bought one of these when xoxide was going out of business: http://www.xoxide.com/yate-loon-120mm-uvbled.html When i put it in my case replacing another 120mm i was so impressed on how quiet it was. Doesn't move a ton of air but it works.

edit: oh wait, newegg only? Sorry, no better suggestions.

You can't control the speed of [most] LED fans very well.

So what's the quietest 120mm fan that actually cools decently?

I vote for the Gelid Wing

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-018-_-Product

Very silent, and the magnetic bearing doesn't produce a lot of motor whining

Most fans that are rated at 69CFM are going be noticeable at full RPM; even then they just make a quiet hum of air passing through the fins. They're quiet/inaudible at lower RPMs.

second @slowend's nexus tip. the 12sl were rated best by spcr and are used as their high water mark fan-to-beat. cant imagine the led version would be much louder.
