    So my Corsair 200mm case fan burned out and now I'm in the market for a new one.

    My two priorities are noise + CFM.

    Any suggestions on a silent / quiet fan that I can install and if I go with a pair of smaller fans instead of the big 200 would that
    drop the CFM that I was getting into the system.

    SilenX fans is what I use but they don't have a 200mm. Sorry I'm no help. :sad:

    Actually, thats a big help. I think I'll go with a pair of their 12db 120mm fans and call it a day. The only 200mm fans that I can find are in the 20 to 30db range.
