Help with case fans

I bought four 80mm from newegg back in June of last year, the only noise that can be heard is just of air moving which they move quite abit.

I also bought a thermal take adjustable 80mm for the side intake, which has decided that it wants to run full blast all the time (around 5000rpm per ASUS probe). It has this annoying high pitch squeal & hmm at that speed. I was using it in manual mode and turning it up as fast as it could go without squealing.

I was thinking about trying to get another of the Y's Tech fans, maybe with an adapter to use a 120mm on the side if I can find one. But newegg doesn't have them anymore.

Anyone have any info about Y's tech fans & where they can be found.

Thanks

I found this by google, imho they are no where near as loud as the rating shows.

Are you talking about the "Tip-Magnetic Driving Fans" I know www.1coolpc.com used to sell them. I'm not sure if they make those fans anymore, and I dont think they were really quiet. Have you tried the Vantec Stealth fans?
 
When I got them I was looking for something that pushed more air then the stock ones that came with my case. I decided to take a chance on these & was greatly impressed by them. They move quite abit of air but they don't make any noise. The only noise I can even hear is just the air rushing in the case. No whining, squealing, humming etc from the fan itself.
