Scythe Gentle Typhoon 1850rpm on a fan controller turned down to 1600rpm. Go for the 1450rpm model if you don't want/have a fan controller.
I was using the Nexus Real Quiet fans and they are great. But I wanted one mounted horizontally and the bearings didn't like that. They are super quiet though.
I converted all my fans to the Gentle Typhoon 1850s and they are pretty good, but a little quieter. They move more air though.
It's really a trade off when it comes to fans. Higher RPM and CFM or lower RPM and less CFM and therefore cooling....

I'm wondering which will have a nice balance between noise and air flow for my h50. If I can grab one with a speed controller, then I can adjust the noise/flow ratio to something reasonable.
In that case, go with the Gentle Typhoons recommended previously in the thread - they're model # AP-15.
