System specs:
Athlon II X4 640 @ 3 GHz stock (Plan to overclock)
MSI 785GM-P45 motherboard
WD 500GB 7200 RM SATA Hard Drive
2x4GB RAM
ATI 4850
CM Hyper 212+ Cooler
CM Elite 341 micro-ATX case (swapped w/Rubber case feet)
Corsair VX450 PSU
I currently have two of these 1200 RPM Cooler Master fans installed in the case, one LED, one without LED. One is set as intake in the lower front, the other is set as exhaust in the back. My motherboard only has one 3-pin connector, so I am using a 3-pin Y cable to connect the two fans to the motherboard header.

There is also the stock CM fan that comes with the Hyper 212+ and the 120mm fan on the Corsair PSU.
I'm trying to keep my system as quiet as possible while still providing enough cooling to maintain a reasonable overclock (~3.6 GHz). Would the 1200 RPM CM fans that I currently have installed be a good choice? Is there anything I should watch out for as far as configuring the cooling setup?
