H100i replacement fans

boxman2000 · 17 Aug 2016 at 15:21

I'm just looking to swap out my stock 120mm Corsiar H100i fans with something a bit quieter as I find they are a bit noisier than I'd like when gaming.

Also at the same time possibly looking to swap out the front 140mm and rear 120mm fans in my Corsair 350D case. I don't have a heat issue and have swapped the front panel for the vented one to improve airflow.

I had been looking at the Corsair ML120 and ML140 Premium Magnetic Levitation fans but any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I think the Noctua NF-P12 fans are very much on par with MLs in terms of performance. I've heard some good things about the Phanteks PH-F120, they're worth looking into as well.

Glad to see that you're very happy with the MLs

Just to update the thread, I ended up going for the ML120 120mm Premium Magnetic Levitation Fan - Dual Pack and am really pleased with the change.

I would say around a 2-3 degree improvement on general use and possibly 5 degree (maybe more) improvement under load. The real point for the change was the fan noise from the stock H100i fans which these ML120's have sorted. There may be quieter ones about but these are a massive improvement to stock and I will be looking to change case fans for these ML series in due course.

Thanks again all, appreciate the great advice.
