Question about LED Fans.

[Wex]

Im looking for some quiet led fans. So far ive been looking at fans from cooler master, and uv fans from aspire. If anyone has had experience with any of these fans or others that cool well, feel free post em. Im also looking for some green 120mm led fans if there are such things. Thanks in advance.

Here's a 120mm green led fan. No idea how loud it is. At 70CFM & 2400RPM, I'd say it'd be about 35-38 dBa.

more rpm = more cooling
more rpm = more noise
no way around it
uv led fans can be very nice looking, very bright. atleast the vastech ones i have. well blue led/blue uv atleast.

So a fan like this: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=11-999-629&depa=0 Would cool well but would be louder?

I have 3 of those currently. They are louder than a Panaflo H1A, but not unbearable. They also aren't as loud as some other fans I have used that claimed to be 34dBA.
They are probably as quiet as you can get if you want that much airflow and leds.

Well, I just hooked up a couple of Cooler Master leds also.
Their claim of 25dBA is a little suspect because @ one inch from my ear I can definately hear the difference between that and a Panaflo L1A (24dBA) On the other hand running @ 12V they are pretty quiet!

I have some of the cheap UV led fans from SVC and they are a bit louder than the Cooler Masters. Those aren't too bad especially for the price. I am gonna let my power supply handle the voltage for them. I replaced the internal fans in my power supply with a Panaflo H1A and a 92mm Galaxy led fan and whatever voltage they are getting currently makes them very quiet.(5v I think)
