I recently replaced the fans in my CM Cosmos with these in an attempt to lower overall noise:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835185004
RPM 800 RPM
Air Flow 33.5 CFM
Noise Level 8.7 dBA
They're pretty good, but now that I have a GTX 460 (the dual fan Gigabyte model) things get pretty hot in the case. After extended use (SC2) my card gets up to around 60C with GPU fans around 50%. The air coming out the back of the case is definitely hot, so I think I need more airflow, if only for 1 exhaust fan.
Right now I'm looking at: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835185005
RPM 1200 RPM
Air Flow 49.0 CFM
Noise Level 20.1dBA
Basically I'd like to get some extra air going with minimal noise increase. 120x38 may be an option, but it looks like Newegg only carries high-RPM Deltas in this category. Suggestions? Or is that Scythe my best bet?
