Recently got myself a 600T all reviews glowed about it looked amazing , unboxed and built it and yes its a pleasure. Then I turned it on, the LED fans are horrible , they are noisy and vibrate and rattle. I al literally shocked as I am very used to Corsair making premium products.
I will replace the roof one with a H100 and the front I would love to replace , possibly with Corsairs new quiet AF fans.

I was wondering what others felt about the case fans with the case.
 
if you look at older 600t videos you will see a different design of fan that was considerably worse. I think with the white ones though and the newer graphite ones you get the new fans.

They're still rubbish fans anyway, looks like xigamatech was the oem judging by the design.
I would put two 120s in the top.
I removed all of my drive cages so I can fit a 25mm thick spectre pro 200mm in the front too.
 
I had the same problem with the default fans. The front fan would whine even on low speed.

I replaced mine with a Cooler Master MegaFlow 200 Blue LED Case Fan - Decent CFM and is inaudiable to me when spinning at its fastest.

BitFenix Spectre PRO 200mm White LED
Is a good option. Plus it sticks to the original black/white colour scheme of the case,

I replaced virtually all of the fans in mine.

I have 4 Phobya G-Silent 12s - 2 in the top and 2 in the mesh side panel with the CoolerMaster MegaFlow in the front

My work PC is built in one of these white 600T's and coupled with a H60 cooler it's noisy as hell... Can't remember if it's always been like that or not though! :)
 
I found the default corsair fans a little noisy in mine, however I didn't have any major issues.
Could be done on purpose to encourage people to buy from their new fan selections (thats my conspiracy theory at least)
 
I always found the 200mm fans pretty poor. I would imagine now corsair have started to make really good fans this may in future include 200mm case fans. I know what you mean though, corsair make top notch gear the fans they put in cases are certainly oem as mentioned above it's the only negative thing I could say against all the corsair kit I've had
 
Its a small gripe really just I expect a lot from Corsair as theyve always impressed me before with service and products.
 
I hated the fans thing when i bought my 600T too. The main issue i had was not with the actual fans but the grills causing some hellish turbulents and loads of noise. I emailed corsair and tried to explain the issue. They didn't really understand and just sent me a new fan. If you want a new fan you can probably do the same :p You can check out my build log to see how i solved it but its maybe not the best solution for everyone.

aaaaahhhh back to that beautiful build. im still in love with your rig mate.
 
Its an amazing build and one I would love to do , i have 0 modding skills tho and I think in reality to watercool a 600T and it be worth it, it needs to be modded like yours.

In other news Corsair have written back to me and given me a voucher for new fans from their store which is good , just not what I wrote to complain about. Still a thumbs up for reading my complaint and trying to help me.
 
Light is a bit annoying, but i got used to it quickly.

Noise is terrible on full, but they're in the fan controller and on minimum.

Also dust is collecting after just a month, it's negative air pressure so i'll be looking to fix that... only the k2 was a real PITA to put on my mobo, so taking it off to replace top fan.... i'll just buy an h100 and not use the k2... maybe some quiet fans from corsairs new range and have them on max? I get a whine when i open the front of my case, but with the dust filter / mesh over it i hear nothing.


Not good fans but adequate.
 
thats all i want it to do really, just turn the fans down a bit when my pc is idle. and have them at a good speed when gaming. i just love the case too so im not really bothered.
