Hi all, looking for some advice on replacing my current fans on the H80i, current ones are stock and are a bit noisy/whiny these days when under load.
My main aim in replacing the fans is to reduce the noise.
Was pretty much set on the replacement being the Noctua NF-F12 but going for the IndustrialPPC PWM - 2000 version due to the colour. I did see the 3000 version but I think this might not be required for my setup but happy for others to share their thoughts on it.
I am using an i5 6600k, at the moment its stock but would look to overclocking when needed, no insane OC's, something around the 4GHz mark.
I have now just read about the Corsair SP120's, in particular I have seen the SP120 High Performance edition and they come in a pack of 2 which is essentially the same price as 1 Noctua.
So that's pretty much it, just looking for some feedback from people that have maybe tried these fans and their thoughts on it considering the CPU I have and the overclocking point, will the Corsair SP120's do the job for what I am needing or am I better spending the extra for the Noctuas?
From reading articles online I believe the Noctuas to be better fans, but if the Corsairs can do what I need then I'd be happy to get them and save the cash.
Thanks in advance.
