Looking for some options for 80mm case fans. I will be using 6, 2 intake & 4 exhaust. It would be nice if they were silent and moved air at the same time :)

Thanks!

Why are you set on using 80mm? You have room for 120mms there or no? Would any of the 80-120 adapters fit? I'm just curious because in general the 120mm will move more air more quietly then you could ever with an 80mm. I doubt you'll find many people here using 80mm or have any opinion on them because everyone uses 120mm fans when available because of how much more efficient they are.

But yeah, I have no idea about 80mm fans. I've got 5 120mm LED Yate Loons that are kicking some ass though :cool:

You might be surprised;)

I've got a machine that has 5 80mm fans in it, and Coolermaster and Antec make decent 80mm fans. As said above, they aren't quiet, and there isn't much you can do to make them quiet, but a fan controller will help, alot. I've got all of mine set on the slowest setting, which moves enough air for that particular system, and the noise isn't too bad. Now, if you turn them up... yeah, it sounds like a vacuum cleaner:p

My case is a Lian-Li PC-70 and has always used 80mm becuase that is what the cutout and space requires, is there a way to make 120mm fit?
 
Some stores sell 80-120mm brackets that you screw into an 80mm slot and allows you to screw the 120mm into that. Here's one, jab-tech has a few others as well.
