Hi
So I've just installed Antec Kuhler 620 onto my i7 3770k @ 4.4GHz v1.275, and I am looking for fans upgrade, at the moment I have noctua fan pushing and standard antec fan pulling both on 12V. I do find that solution to loud so ill need some help to pick best pwm fans for push pull. Let me know what you got
temps after 30 min of prime below, and what would you describe as safe 24/7 temps
Thanks
Pete
 
Which Noctua and which Antec?
What are the stats?

Generally I find keeping the same fan on both sides works best with Push-Pull. If you have to mix, a faster fan on the Pull side can sometimes work, but never on the Push.

Me, I'm a Noctua fan fan, personally, but NB eLoops are very good, as are some of the Varders. Just trim the profile/curve to keep the noises in check.

Hi
Not sure which noctua it is, but antec = standard fan that came with cooler.
Stats what stats you mean ?, if temps see pic in 1st post

So I got my two EK Vardar F4 in White today, temps 2-3 degrees down on all cores. Highest Ive seen them go is 1700rpm.
One more thing how come when you buy radiator fans they are supplied w/o rad screws but instead you get case screws...
And they do look lovely :)

My 2 fans run on pwm splitter plugged to 4pin on mobo, so I think they run at same speed.
Now that I know how good AIO are I want something bigger like Antec 920.
Was thinking about Corsair h100i but when you run SLI, and the only place you can fir it is top of the case you will be cooling cpu with 75C air, unless you'll set the fans to pull cold air from top, but as we all should know hot air always go up.
Hm... do know... any suggestions ?
