Hi my stock H80i fans are so loud and I was looking for a quiet alternative. The noctua fans are ugly and their other lines of fans are expensive except the redux which is said to not preform as well. Please help.

I went with performance and then dialed them back a little.

Hi I'm curious if you had tried Noctua nff12 fans on them because those seem to be really quiet. Disregarding cost which one do you think would be the best in terms of both noise and performance

The nf-f12's are one of the better choices. Probably one of the best.

An older recommended option is the Scythe GT. There no longer made so there harder to come by, but this the best deal on them

There silent, and they run slow. They have faster spinning models if you want.

Despite not having a case window, I still like the inside to look nice, so I usually avoid Noctua.

Other brands I liked are some Xigmatek static pressure Models, and Cougar (Though many people report strange noise from them, I did not experience that)

Arctic fans worked well, but were fairly loud. About the same as the stock Corsair water cooling fans.

Cooler master case fans are nice mix between noise and performance. Bitfenix case fans are also quite good. Their other fans were a little loud for my taste, but they do have a nice style.

I've been thinking about buying some for my h80i, they're quite cheap right now.
