I am gonna be building a low power K45 system.

What’s a good/quiet K45 92MM fan that I can throw in this rig?
 
Pretty much any PWM (4 pin bios fan controlled) fan will work great.

I've used:
Scythe Kama 92mm PWN Fan (200-2500RPM) 0-31DBA 55CFM
Arctic Cooling 92mm PWN fan (600-2000RPM) 10-24.5DBA 34CFM

Didn't notice any difference between them in the K45 because it never really got that hot.


Really the PSU fan will be the loud one.
I replaced mine with a Scythe Mini Kaze Ultra 40x20MM 3500RPM 4.8CFM 19.5DBA fan. Some wire splicing required and you void your warranty.

I also used a 65nm Intel Stock cooler for the cpu. Its a bit better then the 45nm ones. It has a copper base, larger fins, and stronger fan. I stuck with the weaker 45nm fan though.
