Quiet 80mm fans

I'm looking for a quiet 80mm fan for a HTPC. As I'm watching TV on it, I really need something quiet.

Thanks in advance...

not sure you will find one mate, the nature of the small blades mean that they will have to run at high rpm to shift a decent amount of air, how hot is your system running?

I went for 2 of these, and don't regret it one bit. Tremendous!

How quiet were these fans you bought?

With the little resistor added, I can barely hear them and they still shift plenty air.

I have those Noctua fans too, they are amazing u can turn the RPM down and yes it is very silent.
