Quietest and best performing, but at the same time good looking rad fans?

KingKnight · Jan 22, 2014

I have an h100i on my i5-4670k, and I'm starting to think of getting after market fans for the CPU cooler since the h100i stock ones are a little too loud for my preference. Are there any Quiet rad fans with decent performance, but also at the same time good looking?

I have the same CPU and the same H100i and after just a few days I couldn't stand the stock fans. I got a twin pack of the Corsair SP120 High performance PWMs. I think they look great (considering I have them mounted as a top exhaust so I can't see the cool blue trim ring

)

Are they quiter than the stock ones? If so, how much quiter?

My stock fans had noticeable coil whine above 800RPM and a terrible rattling that got worse the higher the RPMs went.

These new ones don't have those issues and I'd say they are quieter but not "silent" (I don't have anything to measure decibels) throughout the entire RPM range

Hm, wonder if there'd be a big performance difference between the High Performance and Quiet Edition...

KingKnight :

The Quiet edition are almost silent (all you really hear is the high volume of air, not the fans) and spin up to 1400 RPM.
The High Performance are slightly louder but only because they spin up to 2350 RPM (so they are basically the same up to 1400 RPM)
Just to say though, the woosh of air at around 1600+ is noticeable
