Hello everyone, I am planning on upgrading my pc's cooling, not really for better temperatures, but for a more quiet experience. My pc runs 24/7 usually and is very loud when idle. I have 2 stock NZXT fans that came with my case and they are very loud and want to replace them. One is in the back and one is in the top, both are exhaust fans blowing air OUT. I also have a stock cooler for my CPU, which is also crazy loud. My idle CPU temp according to SpeedFan is 57C, I have an i5-3570K. I hope that is cool enough, and when is under load only goes up to around 60.
So, what I ask of you guys are some recommendations on a couple case fans that are really quiet, almost silent, and a cpu cooler that is quiet as well. I hate listening to my pc when im trying to sleep lol. I'd like the case fans to be around 15$ each? Maybe less? And around 40-60$ for the cpu cooler. Thermal compound would also be nice, thanks for the help!!!
