They are actually pretty good, I have't yet replaced the fans on my Noctis 450 (Same fans) because they actually run pretty well, and to a good noise level, they are like the Corsair AF fans, they are FN V2's 1 140mm and 3 120's in the front

The stock ones are decent , pretty silent but they dont push a lot of air .

 

I own the H440 , and the only change is that i changed out the stock 140mm exhaust to a Glide Stream 140mm ( any high AF fan will do , the back is very open ) ..

First try the fans out. If you don't like them, then replace them later on with high quality fans.

Those don't need to be Noctuas. There are plenty of good fans out there for far less money.

theyre fine

not as quiet as noctua or fractal design or bequiet, but they push enough air to keep your PC cool

 

try them first and if you find them too loud then replace them

They're alright, shift a decent amount of air and are decently quiet, still glad to have replaced them with AF120's though! PWM Goodness  :D

They are okay. Currently I am having trouble keeping positive air pressure with them due to having a blower style GPU cooler and 2x 140mm fans in the top on a radiator. The stock fans on the front don't supply enough air (full speed) with the front panel on even though the top fans are at 30% speed. To keep positive pressure I keep the front panel off most of the time.
