    80mm Fan Recommendations?

    I need some replacement fans for my htpc. The antec fans on the lowest settings are not too loud but are noticeable and tbh they dont really shift much air so i would like to replace them. Anyone know of any good 80mm fans they can recommend?

    Sharkoon Golfball 2000 is a good one, I use them in my HTPC. Noctua make some excellent, quiet fans, but are far too expensive for what they are.

    See this from Noctua - come in 80mm, 92mm and 120mm versions - not the cheapest though but good airflow and very quiet

    The Sharkoon Silent Eagle is pretty quiet IMHO and has decent airflow. I cannot comment on any 80mm fans Noctua make but the 92MM is also very quiet.However the Noctua fans are quite expensive when compared to their Sharkoon counterparts.
