question about fans

Noiseblocker fans. better or worse then noctua fans?

they recently got in stores where i live, and their stats looks good (CFM and DB numbers).. i am HIGHLY sensitive to noisy computers. i want mine to be whisper quiet if possible.

so question is. Would it be worth it moving from noctua to noiseblocker?

i got a couple of Corsair AF120s in my itx, which IS gonna get changed though

To be honest, the most you can do for your fans is to get quiet mounts. You can only get a fan to spin so quietly, you know what I mean? Like a larger fan is always going to make less motor noise, and a smaller will make more motor noise.

The audible difference between two quiet mounted fans can't be heard.

i have a NZXT 820... i have like 6x 120mm fans and 2x 200mm fans....

accumulated noise is my issue....

yes, my noctua fans has quiet mounts.

hell, i even modded the rad of my 295x2, added a strip of sound dampening self adhesive foam between the case and the rad to reduce vibrations being transferred (it helped. A LOT)
