I have two recent builds (in last year). One (my main system) is a Gigabyte Z77 motherboard and the other is an ASUS Z77 motherboard. Neither have any fans on the motherboard. On my Gigabyte system that I use for recording, I'm using a Corsair H80 liquid cooler with two aftermarket "quiet" fans. The rest of the fans are stock in the Coolermaster case and on the Radeon HD7700 video card. I have the fans set in the BIOS for "quiet" operation. I can hear a slight amount of fan noise, but I can record a vocal track about 4 feet away with a studio condenser mic and not pick up anything or recording acoustic guitar with an SM57 or 58 pointed at the PC tower from 3 ft away and not pickup anything.
