Will these case fans be better for CPU cooling than the my stock case fans?

Hey guys! My case is the Rosewill Redbone U3! I have all the stock case fans that came with it. I run the stock cooler for my fx 6300 and I do not plan to overclock it or replace the stock cooler. With my stock cooler, I get around 57 to 58 degrees Celsius full load on Prime 95. I was wondering how much i could improve my temps with better quieter fans such as this.

I will only be replacing the back and side fan (not the front fan).

Thanks guys!

Do you plan to use them as an intake or on your cooler? Either way, you won't be seeing much difference in temperature, and you don't need a cooler CPU, since you already have good control over that.

The only reason you should bother getting new fans is for noise reduction, if you have too much noise with your current configuration. Given that, I'd definitely recommend Noctua fans over all others when it comes purely to noise reduction. They are brown, which some people care about, but they work great and are about as quiet as computer fans get. It's remarkable when you compare them to regular fans and listen to the difference at full speed for yourself. Here is a link to the Noctua equivalent of that Corsair you posted...

In case you need a different kind of 120mm fan, here is a filtered list of only Noctua 120mm fans for various use types: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007998%2050012454%20600035590&IsNodeId=1&name=120mm

The fans with blades like the one pictured above are just case fans, not meant for heatsinks or radiators (though they'll work almost just the same). The ones with wider fins that have less space between each fan blade are for radiators and heatinks (or drive cages, really any situation where something sits right in front of the fan). Below is a picture of the other kind of fan so you can see the difference in the blades used. Good luck!

I wasn't planning on putting the fan on the radiator. The side fan on my case works well at pumping cool air into my stock cpu cooler. I was wondering if just keeping the stock fan on the stock heatsink the same and just changing the side and back fan.

oops i didnt mean radiator i dont watercool!

Radiator, heatsink - all the same. Just heat spreaders. I know what you mean. :D

Anyway, same applies. Upgrade only for noise reduction.

I edited to add some stuff to what you quoted, so you can look back up at my first post to see. But if you don't need less noise (or maybe want to chance the colors?), just enjoy the computer and don't worry about it. Your temperatures are good.
