undervolt the GPU. that cut 20*C off my gpu temp alone. which makes a WORLD of difference. or move the fan curve, so it gets hotter because of a lower fan speed.

Use better fans. Go larger if possible - they move the same air as smaller fans but at slower speeds.

Pressure optimized fans for the radiators will probably help.

Try setting up a custom fan curve in your bios. I dropped 10% off my intake fans speed, and only jumped 5-10℃ on the cpu. Drastically cut my nose though.

I don't want the lower the performance/stability of my system.

Money is not an issue, if I have to spend 100$ on fans and deadening material, I'll, I just want to know what will be effective and what are your recommendations in term of fans/deadening materials.

 

Can you give me some links to good fans?

 

Thanks!

replace the fans on that cpu cooler, those are very noisy

I would change the H80i fans with some Noctua NF 12s, don't run the fans through corsair link just plug the fans to the motherboard for auto control, and make sure your stock intake fans aren't running at full RPM

In terms of fans, if money is no issue then you may as well go with noctua's or be quite silent wing 2's, they are amazing, perform well and are silent. I have my build fitted with them and on idle I can't hear a thing (Because my gpu/psu fans don't even spin on idle, and all my case fans are silent.) And with the noctua's you can use the low noise adapter cable to make it even more silent, at the cost of it running at a max lower rpm though, but I don't find that an issue personally

Noctua fans are ugly  :(

Those be quiet silent wing 2 look good and cost 15$ in the US.... but 50$ in canada (WTF), money is not an issue, but still, I don't wanna spend 200$ on case fans...

They cost $50 in Canada!? Ouch.

 

I have my noctua fans all set so that non of them are visible aha, I have 5 of them total, and 1 be quite silent wing 2. I guess you'd still be able to see the one on your rad though :/

The noctua NF-12's are pretty silent. I'd go with those.
