Case Fans?!

[Count_Grishnackh]

Can anyone give me some advice on case fans... I need to upgrade cause lately my current ones have become very noisy/annoying: /

I'm thinking of getting a few ML140 Pro Magnetic Levitation Fans.
How are these fans? Is the "Magnetic Levitation" worth paying more?

Any other suggestions? Personally I value low noise levels over performance
Thanks!

In my experience, as long as you don't buy the ultra-cheap rubbish, there's very little perceptible noise difference between different fan models at anything less than 100% speed.

Do you control your fan speeds? Are you talking about normal fan noise or something like clicking/rattling/buzzing?

Yeah its not the usual hum, more like a buzzing.
The only control I have is from my case Corsair Graphite 780T ... I have it on the low setting.

I am running corsair sp140 and af120 - I cant hear mine and its 30cm away from me. I like corsair fans anyway.
Goning to try out phanteks fans and see how that goes.....

from what I have seen on utube they look pretty nyc but I cant justify the price.....

if you can afford the MLs, then why not

but even if you go with some AFs you should be fine

I've had some good experience with those fans but I found they had trouble creating static pressure so I changed as I live in quite a dusty area and I need to create static pressure in the case to keep dust out
