Should i change my fans?

[a66as]

I have been thinking of changing my case fans from bitfenix spectre pros to Corsair SP120's.

I have the bitfenix spectres on my h100i and get idle temps of around 40-45 degrees on my cpu currently

Do you guys think i will see a worthwhile difference?

If it is in push only, try push pull.
Also what case do you have and what other cooling?
Any hot running gpu?
Post a picture of your rig with left panel of, if you can.

im currently using a cm storm trooper.

I have two bitfenix pro spectre fans as intakes at the front, 1 140mm fan as exhaust and two bitfenix pro spectre fans as push on the radiator mounted at the top.

my gpu runs on decent temps around 60-70 degrees when gaming

Thats my pc setup

The first thing I would do is flip your PSU over and put some feet on that case to give you a couple of inches for air flow this will reduce the hot air rising up onto your GPU etc also as its carpet put a strip of smooth wood just slightly bigger than the base of your case under it it will help airflow and prevent carpet fibbers from being sucked into the PSU/Case.

Then the following :

1 x 120 on the case floor pulling cold air in ( optional )
1 x 140 on the front pulling cold air in
2 x 120 on the side pulling cold air in
1 x 120 on the back pushing hot air out

A radiator needs high pressure fans IMO so if the ones you have are not high pressure then fit 2 or 4 x Corsair SP120's on the H100 in push pull pushing air out of the top of the case

Connect the case fans to a fan controller SW or HW one what ever you prefer I have a HW fan controller as I like the panel and how it looks

What is it that you don't like about the bitfenix spectre pros ?? are they spinning to fast ??

i decided only going to replace the fans on my h100, the rest ill keep them the same.

im thinking of going for the corsair sp120 performance series high pressure.

Also my powersupply fan normally switches off anyway because it uses an eco system where it only turns on after it hits a certain temp. also my gfx temp seem to be ok (around 30 degrees on idle and 50-70 on load)

Well i went ahead and bought two sp 120s. i bought an extra hdd tray and now have 3 intakes at the front and 1 exhause at back with the sp120s on the radiator.

I cleaned out my whole pc and re-applied the tim before attaching the new fans and the idle temps are now around 30 degrees on my cpu

my only concern now is something is causing a racket and when i turn down the fans via the fan controller it is very noticeable, like something vibrating really bad in the case (near my fans/h100)

so i have to try to find what this problem is
