Hey all, i'm wanting some advice with regards to performance using Akasa Apache Black Super Silent 120mm Fans in comparison to the fans 120mm fans i use in my current setup (shown below)

Thanks

Well the Apaches aren't super silent for a start.

If you're using them on a rad and you want quiet then get the gentle typhoons.

gentle typhoons are best for rads, get those.

surely your zaward fans there are quiet enough? could you hook them to a fan controller? reference cards are not known for their silence also the ocz psu you have isnt quiet either. i had the 650w one and i found that loud tbh.

as for the apache blacks, i found them very quiet but they aint the best for heatsinks. ive got 2 120mm ones on my megahalems and i find them silent

Scythe GT are far from super quiet..I would be looking at the coolermaster sickleflow or akasa apache for sure if you don't like blue leds
