Quiet fans for radiators?

On Holiday · 26 Nov 2017 at 18:05

Hey there,

I'm attempting to quiet down my PC a bit as I'd like to minimize the amount I can hear my PC at idle.

I currently have the Corsair SP120 Performance Series High Pressure fans, I know they do the Quiet Edition, but is there anything that performs better than the Quiet Editions fans?

Alternatively, am I better off going for the best air-cooler to maintain reasonable temps too?

have you tried changing your fan curve

Yep, they idle at the lowest possible, I want quieter

turn one of them off at idle lol

I have coolermaster jetflo fans, pretty quite at lowest speed.

I'm using Be Quiet Silent Wings 3. They're not cheap but they're quiet and powerful

Set them to only turn on when your pc gets to a certain temperature? I've got corsair sp 2250 but only run them at 800rpm and can't say I can hear them.

And amazingly good quality.

I use Akasa Ultra Quiet Venom Vipers and on their lowest speed at 600rpm they are almost inaudable.
