Recommend quiet fans?

[inmehd]

I don't know if this is a common question but can anyone recommend some quiet fans? The ones I have are really loud and it's pretty distracting. In fact, I don't even like to have my computer running when I'm not using it because it gets on my nerves.

Sorry if this is a common question...I'm new here.

generally bigger, slower fans are quieter than small fast ones.

If you are talking about case fans, then a couple of 120mm fans would be fairly quiet and shift similar amounts of air to 4 noisier 80mm fans.

The 120mm A/C fans from Radio Shack are only 38db while moving a respectable 65cfm... I have a few of them and they are great fans...

I read on their site (http://www.quietpc.com ) that their fans give a 50-65C (well below the 90/95 max from amd. Are they crazy? i had a 55 temp with my first fan a turbo orb (worthles, dont buy it!!) and i change it with a fop38 (worthles, too much noise) and now i have 43.
