silent cooling

Zairs · 9 Nov 2016 at 17:18

Looking to swap my case/CPU fans out for something silent that performs well.
I was looking at the Corsair ML range (the ones without LEDs at I dont want any light coming from behind my TV screen) but im not sure, some of the reviews for the ML's arnt great. Also my board only has one true PWM the other are 4 pin voltage controled

i just got 6 ml140, and they aren't silent but are very quiet spooled down.

How have you got them connected, are they running off pwn connections?

You could also look into the Noctua Redux NF-P14. Good performance and noise IMO. You can get them in 3-pin and 4-pin flavours (no difference in price).

yes

With the corsair ML you have to use them with PWM as the levitation relies on a constant 12v.

is there a better option for silent running?

Looking at lots of reviews, the silent wings 3 might be better for me?

Silent Wings 3 are supposed to be very good. Are you going to control the speed of the fans using the motherboard?
