Has anyone replaced the K3 fans with a quieter model? If so, please provide
the model number and source.

The first K3 I built the fans were very quite, but the last one I build was
pretty loud and sold it. I am thinking of getting another if I can find a
quieter fan.

Please note: I am not looking for comments that your fans are quite or
loud, don't want to clog up the list. I know what fans they did use and
what model they use now (as of a year ago), so do not need that info.

Thanks,
