Cpu Cooler Question

Can i use a regular 70mm case fan as a replacement for my cpu cooler fan the one i bought is way to loud

Well, 70mm is an odd size, but I don't see why not. Changing the fans on the cooler is normal.

You might see slightly higher temperatures with a fan that doesn't move as much air.

It depends, but most 70mm coolers are quite loud.

What cooler is it, and what CPU do you have?

What CPU cooler is it?
Did you connect the cooler fan to the motherboards CPU_1 header?
What temperatures are you seeing? Maybe the cooler isn't sitting properly on the CPU causing high temperatures, forcing the fan to run faster.

Not necessarily.

First off theres very few 70mm cpu cooler, and a 70mm case fan is also pretty rare so i'd be surprised that your case fan would fit it..

But aside from that the fan on a cooler is 4pin PWM controlled by the CPU's temp, its also a static pressure fan to force air through the cooler, and depending on the model may be higher RPM than your case fan.

So yeah it could work, it also could be quite insufficient.

What cooler do you have? There are quieter replacements out there. Or maybe you plugged it into the wrong spot and its running at 100% all the time, or you installed it improperly and the CPU is overheating, and hence the fan is running at 100%.
