the xp90 for sure. especially since you can pick the fan. i recommend this fan 52.24CFM @ 21 dBA

From the Motherboard Compatibility Chart it says the first PCI-E slot is blocked. With a quiet fan such as the Nexus Real Silent 120mm it is almost an inaudible solution.

It's TT. I highly doubt those specs are anywhere near accurate. They always overate the airflow ratings and underrate the noise levels.
