Best Rad Fan?

I currently have a 3x120 Black Ice GT stealth 360, with 3x120mm YateLoon's hooked up to a fan controller (my Aquaero).

I'm wondering if I would see a big benefit in going to say to a Scythe 110cfm fan? Could I quiet it down or can it only run at max speed?

I want a middle ground between noise and performance, not looking for a deafening delta fan..

My CPU is running at 45c idle, and ambient temps are around 33c (91F or so), goes to around 53c on load on my E6600@333mhz FSB, and I set vcore around 1.22, drops to like 1.92 on windows.

My setup goes Rad->Pump->Rad->CPU->GPU->T-line(for bleeding)->back to rad


My rig:

E6600 Watercooled D-Tek Fuzion block
Asus P5B-Deluxe Wifi
OCZ Reaper 4GBCL4
RaptorX 150GB
7950GX2 Watercooled
Black Ice GT Stealth 360 3x120mm YateLoon
Aquastream pump oc@60hz
Aquaero to control them all
 
I don't understand why you think strapping 3 110cfm fans to your radiator would help quieten it down :p. No, at 110cfms, you'll be running about 12dba louder than your 3 yate loons.

If you dial the scythes down to the same speed as the yate loons (so they push 40cfm each) you'll have the same performance, at the same noise level as your yates.

The only real benefit would be the ability to run your fans very fast, OR dial them down as required...
