This is my build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/fwqHsY
I am planning on overclocking my CPU to about 4.5-4.7 GHz with a Noctua NH-D15. And my components are running a bit hotter than I would like them to, GPU at 40degrees C at idle and 75 degrees C at full load in BF4 @4K. My case came with 2 fans preinstalled, one 200mm at the front and one 140mm at the back and they are also incredibly loud. Would the temperatures and noise benefit from adding more regular 120-140mm case fans?

Thanks :)

Ah, that ram is good. Very low latency.

If you want quieter fans, you might look into some PWM (4-pin) fans. These would be controlled by your motherboard, or software tools, and only throttle up as you see fit.

Or a fan controller.

Corsair Air SP and AF Silent or Performance fans are popular, and they are nicely color coordinated. Red/Black or White/Black. Noctua fans are popular in terms of performance, but basically come in two configurations of brown.
Cougar fans are popular.
