H110 Fan Upgrade?

So I am looking for good 140mm fans that are quiet.

 

The stock fans break my ears (over exagerrating but I just about notice them under load) so I need good quiet radiator fans :)

 

Already have a few ideas but I have no clue so I hope some of you water cooling fanatics will know.

I have 2 140MM Noctua Industrial 3000rpm fans they are excellent quality and move 200cfm combined although a bit loud.

Much as I'd love to recommend noctua industrials (my personal favorites), they're a wee bit expensive. Corsairs SP140's will work, silentwinds, noiseblockers......honestly we're at the point in the industry where a decent fan from a decent company with decent voltage control will do the job. The old days of having to knock down the voltage (with inline resistors)  are gone.

Bitfinex specter fans or Corsair SP sans are good choices 

The Hydro series comes with modified SP fans so they aren't an option.

 

Dey loud as fck

Actually they aren't

 

That feedback comes from people running them at their standard profile in corsairlink (performance) If you run them on silent they're barely audible.

 

There'e three profiles in corsairlink for fans. I run a h100i... Performance is for benchmarking. balanced is for gaming, and silent is for media consumption/browsing.

 

If I run silent I get a cinebench score of about 1400, with no noise (thermal throlling) but honestly my pump runs at 40 Db. Ramping it up from there does result in louder fans, but hey, you get what you spend. the fans are decent, but they aren't noctuas.

My advice is if you can fit a h110i, buy it. upgrade the fans when you can, and untill then deal with the silent, or ballanced fan profiles thermal throttling. They come with PWM fans, and if they're the same as the h100i, they're fine for a start.
