Quiet, yet pushes air? (Case fan)

title says all

quiet, but pushes tons of air case fan needed

For directed airflow instead of pure CFM, Silverstone AP121. I have the fan (2, in fact) and can verify they work as advertised. There's also AP141 which I presume also works as intended.

Pure CFM that just spreads all over the place is good for exhaust, but for intake, the AP121 are ideal. Especially on the side of a case for GPU cooling.

FWIW, no fan is quiet while pushing tons of air. Some fans push a bit more air than others, but it still gets loud when you up the RPM. The AP121 is nearly as quiet per RPM as my Fractal Design fans.

well as long as its quiet and moves a decent amount of air, im happy

It doesn't push as many CFM as lots of other 120mm fans but it's the directed airflow that counts in intake. If you dont use it for intake, dont bother
