Need A Little Help With Fan Choice

Hey Everyone as my title suggests I need some fan help as I'm finding my system too noisy and it's starting to do my head in, Now cause my case is the 600T my fans need to be on pull so is there really any point to SP type fans for my H100i or is that not going to matter and I'm also not sure if my case will natively fit 140mm fans in the front as I'm thinking of some Noctua's to try and quiet it down some or if anyone has better ideas I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks once again for all replies.
 
the SP on the H100/i work either on push or pull. wouldn't think any other way.
the Noctua NF-F12 is a pleasing lil performer and under-volted can work as well
as the SP and quieter. are you working your fans off a controller, or PSU?

as for the front 140, it can be modded to accept a single 140, possibly two.
 
Thanks airdeano the fans are run off the controller atm but even on low it is still noisy the damn thing sounds like a vacuum cleaner, as to the NF-F12 I cant get those but I was thinking 2x NF-P12 in pull for the H100i, 1x NF-A14ULN for the front and 1x NF-S12A FLX for the rear exhaust or is there something better
 
we used to use the P12 for radiator fans (in the ole days).
so far I think you have the plan.
the rad fans I always run from the PSU on 7v, no controller no hassle
on what they run at.. but since the fans are on top, i'd guess they
are a quite bit noisy.
 
If you haven't already bought some noctua's and are willing to wait it out, I saw a preview at Computex of some black and grey themed noctua fans. Same performance, but they aren't such off colors.
 
Andre had 2 x 120mm Noctuas in the front of his 650D (which has pretty much the same chassis) and it was quite a tight fit. You can see it pretty well in the first picture:

I don't think 2 x 140mm is going to work.

Can always go for a 200mm Bitfenix Spectre Pro? I hear that are pretty good and have good sound levels.
 
Thanks for the replies guys i've had to postpone buying the fans for now but it seems a fair bit of the noise is coming from my graphics card too and seems to also come from vibration as well I think but I hope to get it sorted in a few months
