I have both motherboards and dont know how to tell wich one would be superior and more quiet to watch movies and play videogames.
I have 8gb of ram 800mhz and a Zotac GT 630 2GB Ram graphic pci-E card.

P5E-VM DO has no way of controlling the speed of the chassis fan, so i have to unplug it
P5E-VM Hdmi has Q-fan for chassis fan but setting it on auto gets way too loud after a few minutes of video or tiny game. the other options is 60% or more, very loud, or disable qfan and use speedfan, but running at 100% everytime i boot until speed manualy corrected.

Don't make a decision only on the noise of the fan.
There are ways to reduce fan noise.
Get a speed controller that follows  case temp..
Wear headphones when you play.

Additionally replacing a smaller fan with a larger fan can blow same volume of air quieter. I went from a 80mm to 120mm fan in one system and it quieted it down some.

Replace the chassis fan with a higher quality ball bearing/ roller bearing  unit...
