You cannot use any other fans apart from identical cfm/rpm design due to the cooling. They are noisy because they need that much airflow over the heatsinks. Do you not think that if they could have used a slower quieter fan that it would be fitted as standard?! The whole noise/fan issue has been covered to death on the forum in various places. Please take a good look around and do some research.
Sorry i did't express myself clearly. These fans were meant to be as extra in both ends of the box.
