I bought this case as a quiet case, and it lives up to its name. Now I want to make it quieter. As i understand it the case fan included with the case is not necessarily that quiet (btw, i have the fan connected to the fan-only connector). With my zalman cnps7000a-cu in there on silent mode, i can only hear the case and psu fans.
Basically, what i want to know is, will upgrading to another case fan (eg nexus real quiet 120mm)be worthwhile? Or will it be an upgrade at all?
I would also suggest getting a real fan controller, rather than using the fan connectors on your power supply(not that these are bad for most uses). Just if you want the ultimate in quiet, a fan controller lets you decide yourself the optimum balance between noise and temperature that fits your standards. I know that it was one of best investments I ever made(and just bought items 5 and 6 or something in my quest for quiet )
