Best case fans

I'm looking for the best 120mm case fans. By best i mean air flow to noise ratio. I want to have a silent case but still cool. I don't overclock or anything but i want to have lowest temps for reliability purposes. If anyone has any recommendations as to what brands are quieter or not that would be helpful.

Thanks

The ones that I use all came with my case (250MM in front, 360MM on the side) but I do use a 120MM in the back: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6835129246

It works for me, it pumps LOADS of air, and it isn't too loud. (then again, I can sleep through anything, so it may or may not be too loud for you)

Yate-Loons are about the best bang for your buck IMHO, they offer a fair amount of air flow for their noise level, and best of all they are generally very cheap.

Thermaltake seems good to me. I had coolermaster before and the three fans were louder than the 6 I have now . Even the the 220 is quiet. The 120 on my big typhoon isn't even noticable compared to the graphics card.

It basically comes down to the ear of the beholder... I have used loads over the years and to me cheap ones and expensive ones (TT, Zalaman) can all be noisy or quiet...

the fan holds to it's word as advertised (move a decent amount of air quietly) and cleaning the fan has never been easy
