Hi,
Im looking to buy a case fan for my PC as when i upgraded it i never bought one. One of the reasons i'd like to do this is to overclock. I have software that came with the motherboard that makes it simple. The motherboard is a Gigabyte 7VAXP and ther software is Easytune 4. If possible i would like a quiet fan, as noise doesnt appeal to me ;D
Hope ya can help, or have advice

Hi BB
The Zalman range are very good at reducing noise ... have a look HERE (http://www.overclock.co.uk/customer/home.php?cat=281)
Also you can look at the Papst fans HERE (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Papst_Fans_61.html)
The Thermaltake Smart Case Fan 2 is quite good too, although I use it on the heatsink with the thermal sensor between CPU and sink ... when its not under load the fan speed is reduced thus reducing the noise ;) HERE (http://www.overclock.co.uk/customer/home.php?cat=281)
You may wish to consider a 120mm fan as opposed to 80mm as these can shift a lot of air, and if you have a speed controller, you can turn the spped of the fan down, and hence the noise, but still have the equivalent air-flow of an 80mm fan but with a lot less noise :)
You should find what you want
