yates are good, high speed yates are still pretty quiet and drops ur case temps dramatically, but low speed leds are really quiet

Someone needs to do a test to find the quietest, low volume fan and the quietest high volume fan. Of each size. And then the LED versions of both. Then when a new fan comes out, it gets tested and added to the chart where ever it belongs. Be a giant help to all us air coolers.

Yep, Nexus Real Silents are rebranded Yates.

So which one is the most silent? The most silent of them all. "Them all" being all of the 120mm LED fans.

You may say the Nexus Real Silent is a rebranded Yates, but my 1000 RPM Real Silent is quieter than my Petra Tech low-speed Yates. No clicking, for one thing. It may carry the same number, and it may have the same blades, but it is not the same fan. The Nexus is what I plug in when I want something quiet to be a power draw on my PSU while I am testing other fans.

Personally, for quiet I prefer a Gentle Typhoon on a fan controller. But if you need a blue LED, you may have to accept a compromise or two.

corsair af (air flow) silent series ... and the performance series are also very quiet ....... if ur trying to use them for a heat sink or radiator i recommend the corsair sp (static pressure) they have the options as well as the af for silent and peformance series and their quiet and do the job ........ im running a intel 17 2500k and my temps are in 18-23 degrees Celsius if i turn them down i get 20 - 35 degrees Celsius i highly recommend them but their not led so u might want to install some leds in them
