i have xigmatek sd963 which can be seen at the following two links
manufacuturer link http://www.xigmatek.com/product.php?productid=105
newegg link http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835233081&Tpk=xigmatek loki

i want to know if its possible to exchange the fan i have for a quieter fan (as in silent fan) when its running at 100% its a bit loud, not annoying but noticeable. i am running my pc without a case.

i want to buy two fans and do "push pull".
can anyone recommend a specific 92mm fan that runs silent or quiet?

Depending on your motherboard, you may be able to simply slow the fan down at max load through the BIOS. Does your BIOS have CPU fan control options?

*Edit* This is probably a pretty solid option, though having a fan controller would help you fine-tune the speeds to exactly where you want them. http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/pa92ulqu.html
 
currently i use speedfan to turn the fan down to 60/70%, even 50% is doable, cpu temps dont rise at 50% i havent been able to monitor it closely.

ill try that link(ed) fan
