I finally decided I'll go through with making my pc more "silent" by reducing the speed my fans spin at.
My case is a budget Casecom one (out of stock so the link is broken :/) and it has 3 slots for a fan. I have an Akasa 965 that spins quite loud but offers nice budget performance. For the 3 slots I have the normal blue 120mm fan that came with the case as a side intake (this spins really quietly so I'll leave it), a loud-ish Akasa red 120mm fan as a front intake and a Silverstone 92mm exhaust fan. As it's at the back of the case it doesn't seem that loud.
Should I get a fan adapter for £4.49 for simplicity or should I get a fan controller for £6.00 (not too sure how to use one though I presume it would just be linking wires together as usual lol)
Both have P&P included.
Also, is it worth switching from the Akasa 965 to the Arctic Cooling Freezer Pro7 Rev2 as I've heard they're really silent and offer roughly the same performance. I don't really wanna spend much above £20 on all this so yeah...
Lastly, I'm going to be slowing down the intake fan as that's the noisiest but if I ALSO slow down the exhaust fan will it make that much of a difference to my temperatures?
Thanks per usual!

Depending on how fast they are spinning at the moment it could make a big difference or no difference at all. If your fans are already spinning slow then slowing them down further will affect temperatures a lot. If they are very fast then it won't. If I were you I'd go for the fan controller
it seems like good enough value for money.
