I was just wondering if anyone knows where I can find a 160mm fan. I would like one that is quieter than 33dB. If anyone can help me out that would be awesome.

DeathONator said:Thanks for the help. Now I have one more concern. The purpose of this fan is to cool a heatercore for watercooling. My goal w/ watercooling is to both get very good temps and also lower the noise of my system. So what I am worrying about is even if I find a fan that runs at 30db (are any 172mm fans that quiet?), all the air moving through the front of the case is going to make even more noise. So what should I do w/ my fan situation? Cut a hole in the front of the case for less air resistance? Just get a 120mm fan? Both? Or what?
I have an aluminum dragon cheiftec mid-tower.
PS. I was planning on getting this fan. But I wanted a bigger one to cool a bigger heatercore. How quiet can I get a 172mm fan w/ a rheostat? What kind would I need for a high powered fan?
PPS. I don't want to spend tooo much money...
