These http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181040 I recommended them to him. It appears those are the same ones. However he can confirm.

How did you choose these over the stock ones?  I'd like quieter fans but I'm not willing to lower the airflow because of the heat.
I have no idea what fans are in my unit or what the airflow is.

Mostly since the stock ones are shooting out cold air while the miner is mining. While a great thing...its an incredible amount of overengineering and noise. Hence the choice for those fans. They are 4pin PWM fans so they will be quieter BUT will spin up as needed to keep the miner cool. Personally I am buying 6 of them to have intake/outake cooling. That would be just as effective too. and quiet.
