I'm probably going to get the Logitech 530 Speakers, so I wanted to make my case quieter. My Coolermaster Centurion 5 came with a 120mm fan and a 80mm fan, but I replaced them with some really noisy but pretty good CFM fans. All I have now in my case is the Zalman 9700LED and the 2 case fans. It's quiet, but my CPU's running about 5-7*c hotter than before. Should I buy one of these bad boys: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...2E16835191013? Or should I man up and take the 28*c Idle?
The silentx aren't all that silent, but you would notice a big difference from what you have now, if you don't mind reducing air flow for really kiw dba look at the scythe ones like this one

Wow, that's quiet. I wonder how loud and how much CFM my current case fans are? Plus the scythe is 10 bucks cheaper than the silentex. Thanks.
