Hello i am currently using a ARCTIC Freezer 34 eSports DUO to cool my 5800X the fans can get very loud so i am thinking of replacing them with something better, can someone give me some recommendations please?

Thanks.
 
Have you checked what's happening when it gets loud?

Is it because the Cooler is unable to handle the load and thus needs the Cooler fans on high?
Is the fan control on a very aggressive setting and doesn't actually need to be?
Is there insufficient airflow in your system that's caused the system to ramp the fans up causing the extra noise?

Because if any of those is true, grabbing new fans may not actually help your situation. As any fan running at (near) max speeds is going to be generating a fair bit of noise.

Thanks for the reply, it is only loud while playing games.

OK, so the GPU (Vega 56 Pules?), has that been watercooled, or is that default air cooler and exhausting into the case?
What games are you playing that this has come up with (fans going up in speed to cool CPU and causing noise)?
And also, have you made sure to isolate the CPU cooler fans as the issue and it's not the GPU fans causing a noise? (Sometimes it's possible to mix the two up, but to be sure it needs to be asked)

In relation to the above, when you try a CPU only load (something like prime95 or other CPU only stress) does it ramp the CPU cooler fans up to (what you experienced during gaming) noisey levels?
 
I have the single fan version of the 34 eSports Duo and have no problem cooling my 5800X with little noise. I'd check out the fan curve in the bios to quieten it down a bit at higher temperatures.
