Definitely don't go with sleeve bearings.
How quiet are we talking? Single-digit db?

something below 35DBA would be good my yate loons are 40DBa and that is loud, i want something that moves at least 80CFM.
I am liking these silverstone fans http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811999344 and i have a silverstone fan controller with an extra spot open for another fan to control.

I agree. And they're even better when paired with a fan controller.

| The Silverstone 'Debacle' I have tested both the aforementioned FN122 and FM123 for Round 2 and have not listed their performance. I hate them with a passion. Neither are anywhere near their CFM ratings and the FM123 is more annoying to listen to than the 220CFM Deltas in Round 1. I'd go as far as saying it's more annoying than a crying baby. Unlike the baby though, you can kick it. At this point, the FM121, FM122, FM123, and FN122 have ranked among the most annoying or worst performing fans I have ever tested/used. They may all be lemons, but if the lemon rate coming out of Silverstone is 80%, you should stay away. If they are good representations, you should stay away. So ultimately, based on my experience with them, you should stay away. And I really don't have a bias...I actually like the FN121 quite a bit. Shame it has ******ed siblings. I wanted to exclude all Silverstones from this test, but because I was using an FN121 as a carry-over all-star comparison from Round 1, that was not possible. It actually did fairly well in this round-up as well. Go figure. |

Funny, I have two Silverstone FM123s installed in case right now and in past used Delta 190 and 150Cfm fans and I don't find them similar at all.
Actually noise wise, the two Silverstone FM123s are quieter then a Scythe "Ultra Kaze" 3000rpm and definetly a lot quieter then any high rpm delta fan. Considering the post date on that review and that I just got these fans a month ago from newegg I guess silverstone fixed up the problems.

These are some the most quiet fans I have ever used. A;though I can't tell you what a "Twister Bearing" really is...
