I bought three of the 120mm fans recently to swap out in my cooler master case and they make a HUGE difference. temperatures are still perfectly fine, but the chassis is now basically inaudible.

Ok I give up, I see their products reviewed here all the time and just bought a couple of these to try them out. shall report back soon.
This or Noctua?
What do I plug my Pure Wings 2 120mm up to?
Can I also let them vary in speed through the motherboard and the BIOS or SpeedFan or some such way?
