quiet fans?

spulse · 30 Oct 2015 at 18:26

just built a new system in a corsair air 240 but the fans it comes with (funnily enough the same ones included on the H100i I also installed in it) are driving me up the wall.

Two of them are pwm so controllable but the other 3 are on full blast constantly.

any recommendations for replacements, or suggestions on how I can make these quieter?

I have an evga micro 2 board if that's any help

cheers!

I always recommend Noctua fans, they cost too much for a fan but they do the job well.

had a great experience with a noctua cpu cooler last year so i'm inclined to go with them. hate the colour they usually come in but noticed they now have (limited) black options which would go well with my build.

any ideas which ones are the quietest from their range?

They are all ridiculously quiet. All ABOUT the same, go for the lowest RPM if you want silence
