Hello all,
I recently built a new PC with the H115i cooler from Corsair.There are 2x 140mm PWM fans on the radiator that are quite loud (PC on desk so very close). I want to replace the fans and make Push / Pull config, so four fans.
My first question: what do you recommend in terms of fans silence + static pressure/performance in a push / pull?
I know the Noctua fans are good but they look really bad. I may take two of the noctua if that is good, they won't be seen as they sit at the front of the chassis, but the other two must have a white tint (case is White/red and some black: Gigabyte Z170x Gaming 7), black with a little red is possible too.
Someone also recommended me the 'Riing's of Thermaltake. I've also heard that ELoops are good and maybe cougars?
There is so much choice and I just want silence with still pretty good cooling.
My second question is: What is the best method to control the fans? I have set the pump to the CPU FAN header. (There is also CPU_OPT)
There are 2 fan connectors that come from the pump that lead to the 2 rad fans (2x PWM).
Could I use splitters on these two headers so I can control 4 fans via the pump so they get regulated according to the same temperature level? Or is this too much power draw/risk?
I also have a PWM fan connector on the bottom of my motherboard.
Thanks guys
