More Information

I really need help choosing these. Its just I read a good review on 1 item and the next review is bad and theres so many things that go into choosing a fan. I have a Ultra Black Aluminus ATX Mid-Tower Case with Clear Side, Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz, and XFX nForce 680i LT SLI Motherboard.

So basically, I need help on choosing a CPU Fan and 2x 120mm Case Fans. I've chosen a CPU Fan that I like the price of and the reviews but, theres 2 of them. Can you tell me whats the difference between these 2? Link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6835887004 AND http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 835887005. BTW, I have no intention to overclock anything since im new to building computers. What are your thoughts on them?

For the Case Fans: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6835185060 AND http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6835103022 AND http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 835129228. Your thoughts on the Case Fans?

I read somewhere but forgot that 1 of my CPU Fans has Blue LED lights? Blue LED CPU and Case Fan = sexy. So if you decide to pick out a CPU or Case Fan for me, get Blue LED if theres any LED for it.

Also, how loud is 30, 40, 50 dba???

Great blue led fans for the price: http://www.jab-tech.com/YATE-LOON- [...] -3824.html

These are great quality fans, I highly recommend getting them.

Since you're not going to OC, the Zerotherm BTF90 should be fine for you.

30db is about the loudness of a fairly quiet room. 50db would be the loudness of inside a running car on the highway.

Oh and 50db is 10X louder than 40db, which is 10X louder than 30db.
