I've got my cpu water cooler working again after it was RMA'd. Temps are now nice and low but its still really noisy!

The noise is definately due to the two fans on the rad - the OC H2Flo extreme is set up in a push/pull config and both fans seem to run at 100% which I've not been able to change at all - I've tried sys fan, easy tune 6 etc with no luck.

The case fans are fine, the 600TM case controller works and you can hear the case fan noise drop when I turn them down.

So questions -

1) should I replace the fans with something like:

2) should I try a seperate fan controller?

3) should I switch to an air cooled cpu solution instead?

suggestions glady taken.

Money not really a big issue so I dont mind spending cash on some good fans if thats the best thing to do and retain the water cooling on the CPU.
 
i'm running a gigabyte board, its the Gigabyte Z68X-UD5 Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard ** B3 REVISION **

so sounds like from your comments either a fan controller or switch to 4 pin fans and control them via PWM in the bios

changes the fan speed % in speedfan made no difference to the fans at all - guessing thats because the MB is giving them 12v all the time regardless of other settings.
