What is more importand for you? Noise or CFM? If you need something quiet look for the lower dB or sone. I think AKASA has 80mm fans with 16dB. But if you need something with high air flow look the CFM to be the highest.

I need for something in between ..
better CFM than the currant fans I have .. but not so loud .. I dont wanna have a airport in my case ;)

In my opinion the Thermaltake kit is good since the fans have good CFM and there is also the regulator just in case of noise.

then a regulator would help you on this.
Just have on mind that a regulator will reduse the maximum rotation of a fan by 200rpm approximately, than if you have the same fan without the regulator, connected on the board. For me this is not an issue.

well .. I will check some fans abit more until I will actually go and buy 80mm fans .. ;)

some people told me that thermaltake lies about their specs. and the noise levels ..
should I or shouldnt I get that kit ?

For the noise there is the regulator, so you can reduse the rpm for a little.

isnt there any1 that has this and can tell me what he thinks ? :(

One problem with many case fans, if the noise is measured in the clear, it will be quite a bit worse if mounted to a punched grille with only around 50% freedom - anyone that wants quiet and airflow needs to dremel the punched grille out and use a wire finger guard instead  ... don't even THINK of using a decorative grille, as they can be just as bad.

major9686 a friend of mine has a 12cm Thermaltake fan and it is good. I have a cooler and it is also good.
