I want to put this in a cold room at my home, but I don't want to have the deafening noise of 76db. I have found these fans and I seem to have trouble seeing if they would do an adequate job at cooling the rig.
https://www.aab.com.pl/product-eng-269-AAB-Cooling-Silent-Jet-Fan-12-PWM.html  -  170 m3/h  | 100 CFM
and this one
https://www.frozencpu.com/products/24861/fan-1369/Noctua_Industrial_NF-A14_140_x_25mm_PWM_Fan_-_3000_RPM_NFA14IPPC30P.html?tl=g36c435s1109&id=A69tGXEq  -  270 m3/h | 158 CFM

I can't find the CFM measurements for the stock fans.

*** JUST WANTED TO UPDATE ***

I have been mining for a month or so and I haven't had any issues with the Noctua fans, I had to get the 120mm one. Alas it was put in a relatively cool environment, maybe 68F so this could effects temps, but the chips never went past 72C.

Bitmain buys powerful yet inefficient fans in bulk and slap them on everything.  The AntDoorstop X3 only burns 550-ish watts so you should be fine swapping them to much quieter ones.  You will see a significant drop in power consumption as well.

I like Sunon MagLev PWM fans.  Stick with 120x38mm-thick fans - more pressure to push through the fins.
