I can't remember what my case is exactly but I know that the fan on the 10k isn't noisy really at all. It is more of the 2 1" fans in my case that I have to worry about. I would imagine if you got a nice case that you would be able to keep it pretty quiet even with the CPU fan. I was thinking of checking how hot mine ran with and without case fans.
