I am getting a new case for my computer it is the Fhanteks ENTHOO EVOLV ATX with tempered glass. I want to have 3 fans at the front (120mm) 1 at the back and 2 on my 240mm H100i GTX AIO cooler at the top but i dont know what fans would be good for this case or radiator i need something quiet but not like a NF-F12 quiet.

For case fans go for 140mm fans that has the letters AF in them since that stands for AirFlow. Unless you have a very restrictive case when it comes to airflow like alot of panels, fine mesh dustfilters, etc etc, everything that will block your airflow in a way. If that is the case then go for static pressure fans.

For the radiator you will 95% of the time want to have fans that has the letters SP in them since that stands for Static Pressure.

When it comes to then noise part:
That comes down to what RPM you run the fans on and how mutch turbulence you generate in your case or radiator.
I always use alot more fans than I need to just to keep the system silent.
4 fans at 500 RPM you will not hear, but you might hear 2 fans...

Look for High Static pressure fans for the radiator, and High airflow fans for the case. Id also recommend 140mm fans for that case as 140mm fans are typically quieter (and i checked and they are compatible.

For Static Pressure fans you can look at:
