What are the quietest 80mm fans I could buy?

[Shu8]

I have the antec sx830 case. i purchased 2 extra antec 80mm fans for my case for the front from outpost.com for about 5 bucks. my problem is that they're really loud. what are the quietest 80mm fans i could buy that's a reasonable price...i want to replace the 4 antec ones i have.

Shu8, you ca always quieten your present fans by running them on 7V instead of 12V. Not difficult to do by just substuiting the 5V supply for the ground to the fans

By that do you mean swapping the ground (black) and the hot(red)?

go here & look under "how to make fans more silent".

"how to make fans more silent"

silent: 0 decibels.
more silent: < 0 decibels?

I have 4 Silencer fans from PcPowerCooling Silencer
The only complaint I have is that the fans have single ended plugs on them, so I had to buy a
bunch of &quot;wye&quot; cables to make sure I had enough power connections. If you order these, you might ask them to put double ended or &quot;ganged&quot; ends on the fans. They are quiet though.
