Which case fan should I go for (for the AIO as well)

[Vicious]

I've been doing quite some extensive 'homework' on non rgb case fans, especially the 120mm.

I've over the RGB gives you +5 FPS race, I'm moving back to the stealthy boys, blacked-out fans. This said, I'm moving my layout to a complete stealth look. They can keep their +5 RGB extra FPS, I'm kak in games anyway.

So there's a forum, heck, internet full of Noctua fans (HA....) but at the cost? I don't see it being ideal for my poor ass. So, it does bring up the Arctic P12 PWM PST as a very ideal candidate. But stock seems to be an issue locally. I need x10 of those bad boys, AIO and case layout totals at 10x fans.

Looking to Amazing, well, not a bad option and cost come in close to local pricing, BUT, what if something goes wrong, yeaaahh. What alternative is there that you can recommend, silent operation, and good airflow, don't have to be the best, but decent at least, static pressure considered of course for my AIO.

Be Quiet is limited in SA (RebelT)
Noctua is kak expensive (RebelT)
Arctic is out of stock locally

What else is there to choose from that doesn't break the bank?

I've reached out to Progenix, it says low stock on their website, so just waiting on confirmation on the quantity, but gut feel says 1x 5 pack left.

Im not getting much on the Scythe Wonder Tornado 120mm

Anyone that bought these by any chance?

For non-RGB fans, the king is the ADATA Ventro Pro.

Arctic PWM PST's are the best in my opinion ( i have them in both rigs at home and will be replacing another pc with those fans).... Tech Guy SA has them aswel.. i bought 2 x 5packs from him. Awesome guy too.

What RPM's are you running them at on idle?

my fan curve is on auto.. so runs off motherboard and other temps sensors

And on idle, how's the fan noise hitting the ears? Silent, or do you hear them

very low noise.. I had normal phanteks case fans, my husband had Corsair ML fans which had a lot less noise than mine.. i changed my fans to Arctic and i could hear HIS fans over my mine. Since then i've been looking for the arctics, they had moved out of SA...but recently came back ith their 120's and 140's 5pakcs.. so i bought 2... Changed my husband's case fans to arctic and even he didn't know his pc was on - was it not for the lights inside lol

I have the ML's on my radiator, I yea, once these puppies hit 900rpm and higher they become audible.

Luckily my CPU is idling at 31/32 c, but when I start playing a game, the ramp up to 1100rpm is quite irritating. Where as, per the internet, the arctics would be quite silent at 1000rpm, only at it's 70-100% they become audible
