yup, switched off that Q-fan crapola, case is old and stuffed with hard drives so that needs replacing too
I'll go and shovel some more money into Micro Direct next week

You'll want a case that'll take 120mm fans all round,
the bigger the fan, the slower it needs to spin, so 120mm is now the quiet computing standard. You can get gaming cases with 240mm fans in the side, but that's just daft.

Scythe and Noctua do the best fans, you're looking at £12-14 each.
