I hear the distinct noise of Z9 +. Though of course it could be due to CM Hyper 212 + (via BIOS exhibited 37.5% fan speed). Advise what better to buy 120mm fans, and how to install them. Native fans from Zalman, too loud, but not annoyingly so.

Re: The noise in the Zalman Z9 +
Do you know what rpm the fans are? You want 1600-1700 rpm ones,noctua and akasa Apache fans are silent and offer good cooling,or you could buy a fan controller and slow the speed of your existing fansGigabyte z77x UP4-TH F11c Modded Bios

Re: The noise in the Zalman Z9 +
I have a Sunbeam RHK-S(Sunbeam RHK-BK for the black color) that fits in a 5.25" bay. It supports 20watts per channel and works well for a $10 fan controller. The problems I've only seen was the molex plug that it draws power from popped up from a plastic tab breaking but it's easily fixable and that the led's are very bright(easy to fix by tinting the led's or simply cutting the wires). It comes with quite a bit of cables to let you add more than one fan to one channel or adapt a molex fan to the fan header.
If you want something that would look nicer then you should look at a Sunbeam PL-RS-6. You can control up to 6 channels which can supply up to 30watts per channel. This fan controller costs up to $35.
