Corsair Air 540 Case Fans
well hello fellow Pc users right now i am looking for a great PWM Fan for my case witch is high airflow case so i was looking at Corsair fans and other like Arctic F12 PRO PWM PST from arctic witch are cheaper but is there any other alternative i really hate the stock fans do to the noise and bright led my case is already has a custom led set up but want fans without leds the arctic fans look great but need to ask before buying since there are hardly and reviews

My CPU is cool by swiftech h220x its a Fx 8350 at 5.1ghz at around 1.4+v and temps are at around 60-65 so i am ok but would like my system to be nicely cooled so if anyone out there thinks i should tray them both ...i would not mind going with noctua but they are really expensive for 4 fans starts to get pricey for great performance and low noise . any help would be great.

i've built with cougars and classic noctuas (not the new grey line) and they were both pretty quiet.>

have to take into account how they're mounted to the case (vibration), if the airflow is restricted, they're going to work harder. They're both quieter than the SP corsair fans in my h440. the db rating is the key factor to look at for specs..

human ears have issues at below 12 db... i would get something i guess like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... at 19db - they're really quiet.


the fans you recommended are awesome and look great will place an order now for the 4pcs turbine one because they are black my case theme is white interior and black exterior and i cant wait for the great price and great specs .

look into cougar fans as options, there is also the new cheaper lineup from noctua as well.



they look great but i would like the turbine ones but they are only 3pin is it safe to use a 4pin adapter on fans

update:nvm just read the specs but if you have them how is the noise level
