How many RPM is that 9 CM fan? How about that small tiny fan of the psu isn't that one very noisy? Cooling a psu that has to deliver a 220 watt or so sure needs lots of CFM to cool and the tiny fans that i know from rackmounts that create a 20+ CFM they're all 50+ decibel rated, add some aluminium around 'em and it's 65 decibel...
