Question about Icy Box Ib-3810u3

Is it possible to change fans to make less noise, and if so, which brand do you recommend?

Helpful answer

Replacing the fans is easy and is recommended, as the original fans are rather loud.
I bought and fitted these fans at the time and am very happy with them.
be quiet! Shadow Wings Mid-Speed (140 mm, 1 x)
Unfortunately, they no longer seem to be on sale. I would therefore use another 140mm fan with a 3-pin connector that is also quiet.

Yes, I've replaced mine, I got a noctua unless I'm mistaken (it's a bit dated) - just make sure you get a 140mm three-pin.
Digging around, I see these two fans in my order history "very shortly after" I bought this case:
Noctua Nf-a14 Uln (140 mm, 1 x)
be quiet! Ailes d'ombre 2 (140 mm, 1 x)

Both are very good.
