here are some silverstone's, they are 25mm thick though but i think i remember hearing somthing about needing to have 38mm fans for your rad, somthing to do with pressure, is that true?

what do you guys think? i am a little conscious about noise :p(don't particularly want 65db :p) don't let that hinder you much though, i'n not all that picky
 
generally, the thicker fans do create more pressure at the cost of noise than thinner ones. a 32mm fan will prob. be better for a rad because it can create enough pressure to move the air thru the fins with ease. thinner fans may struggle more. but thinner=quieter too. i myself prefer quiet fans VS high CFM fans.
 
38mm fans are not required for a core though an undervolted 38mm fan will perform as well as a higher volted 25mm fan.

i use 7v evercool aluminums on 1 setup that is very quiet and by that most of you would say near silent as the hard drive is louder
 
thorilan- well the faster the better right? i will have them on a fan controller so volume won't be much of an issue
