I run a Yate Loon D14SL-12 in a PSU... it's a 140x140x25mm fan and I'm running it at the full 12 V (in a server) and it's pretty quiet. 12 V is 1000 RPM - if you undervolt slightly it's really quiet!

Working on a 300 build atm... I plan on undervolting the tri-cool first to see if it will be quiet enough for me. If not, Ill fab my own 140-120mm bracket and stick a 120mm fan up there. Using a duct/ chimney on the top will help reduce the user-perceived noise from the top of the case.

Whatever fan you choose, stay away from sleeve bearing fans which are noisier and don't last as long in the horizontal direction.
