i am trying to decide what case to buy atm, i went with the 500r as it came with fans preinstalled, however i have 2 questions about them

1. are they noisy (under low and high load)
2. are they enough themselves to cool this build effectively

if they are noisy/not enough to cool what fan would you suggest to replace them/accompany them or even a better case if necessary (cheap cost though)

any other general advice on my build would be great as well (i.e. better/more cost effective parts etc. keeping in mind i live in Australia)

thanks guys

I cannot say about the noise, I have never heard them/noise levels are more of opinions, but they should cool this build sufficiently. Any cheaper end fans with good reviews would work if you do want to replace them. Often times the comments/reviews will tell you how loud they run.

thanks for the reply, its good to know i dont have to buy any other case fans. unfortunately i couldn't get any real concrete answers while reading reviews on noise level. i think ill wait and see if anyone can comment on noise level who has experience with the case fans, thankyou for your help :)
