Which silent fan ?

Yes they have changed the models, go for the NF-R8 Redux 1800rpm, they are all quiet and the air flow over the 1200rpm one will be needed if you have an internal drive fitted.

I think the fans I ordered are probably not compatible. They are a PWM version and use 4 wires. I have returned them & plan to get the 3 wire version. I notice that the original fan is a 2 wire version. Does the connector on the 3 wire version just plug onto the MX mother board or is rewiring necessary ?

I can't remember it was a while back, I think I may have cut the plug from the original fan and soldered the wires onto the cable from the new one, there may be an adaptor in the box.

If I remember right on the 3 pin fans the red and black are the power cables just like the 2 pin fans, and the yellow is for speed control, so you don't use the yellow and the fan runs at full speed, which is what you want.

Ah thanks again Alan. I'll order some replacements.
