Suggest a replacement for my Corsair H80 Stock Fans for £10 or less

petertr2000 · 28 Nov 2013 at 11:49

As per title - the stock fans on my H80 are so loud that I cannot bear to have the speed set on anything but LOW.

Don't want to spend a fortune, but would happily replace the stock fans (and use them as 2 extra case fans instead - so at least they won't be wasted)

I run push pull as an exhaust at the moment and I do overclock my AMD 8320 (currently 4.2Ghz, but I'm sure it could get much higher if correctly cooled)

There are loads of other threads that refer to the same thing, but would be good to get everyone's opinions in a single thread

Thanks.

Get a 38mm Yate Loon fan.

For £10 your not going to get two new fans that are better than the stock fans

Arctic F12's, like £4 each and are bloody good and sooo much quieter then the stock fans

Just read this:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/6177/...or-fan-testing-eight-fans-with-corsairs-h80/6

"Regarding the Corsair H80 specifically (and presumably the rest of their line), you're probably best off just sticking with the stock fans included with the radiator as they provide a competitive blend of performance and acoustics."

I can't see much of a case for changing from the stock fans - can you?
