Please recommend a quiet 92mm HTPC case fan :)

Hey all,

I am finalizing my components for a new HTPC build and am looking into cooling today. My case (Silverstone LC16M) has two internal HDD racks which can each accomodate a 92mm fan for keeping the HDDs cool. I would like to find a good pair of 92mm case fans to attach to those HDD racks.

What do you use for quiet (yet efficient) cooling in the 92mm form factor? And what dBA level is considered to be "very quiet" or "nearly silent"?

Thank you in advance for your insights/suggestions smile.gif

The Gelid Silent9 is pretty good too. You can get it with PWM, TC (thermal control, or fixed speed.
