Just put in this YS-Tech 120mm fan I have just had delivered...

It was so loud I could hear it downstairs! ONE Fan!

Thats that fan out the window until a baybus or rheobus is made...!

But it is nice, my hand was feeling frozen just putting it in the air stream one foot away!

Is it the 130+CFM? I got the same one & it's noisy as hell. I'm using a filter with it & you should give that a thought too or you can clean your system everyday.

Hey, I have that exact same YS-Tech fan. It isn't THAT loud.

Although I could be alittle deaf...too many concerts, too many ear-infections...too many concerts while having ear-infections...

Are pretty much all 120mms loud? I'm going to put in a duct (homemade :D) and a 120mm at the end of it. Bad idea?

120mm fans are great because they can flow the same amount of air as say, a 80mm fan but quieter

Yeah they're good for that if you turn them down, but when they come stock they blow papers around and make quite a racket.
