Running a X9DRH-7TF in a 2U chassis with 1 x 60mm CPU fan (other CPU seems to be passively cooled) and 3 x 80mm case fans between the backplane and mobo.
I definitely need to change the case fans as one refuses to go below 4200 rpm and it sounds like a helicopter. The others are v loud at 2700 rpm.
I'm looking at Noctua NF-R8 or Arctic P8. Maybe Noctua A8 if I can justify the price since there's three. Which would you choose and why? And are all of these going to be beefy enough to cool the machine?
Also is it easy/worth changing the CPU fan? If so, what should I be looking at?
