Hello, i want to get some Case Fans, i thought about white or RGB fans,

 

At the Moment i own Corsair Air Series AF120 LED Quiet Edition, but if they are under full Load, they are too loud, so as if they idle.

 

Do you have any suggestions?

I missed a detail (they are loud on idle)

Be Quiet fans are the best alternative to Noctua fans. They're barely audiable even at full speed. Those are the only fans I use now and fully recommend them.

I personally can hear my noctura 140mm fans on my CPU cooler over my maglev 120mm from Corsair.

 

All fans are running same bios defined temp to speed profiles. 

 

Just run the mag lev fans to be silent at idle but at load these guys hit a easy 2500rpm and can cool everything even in Aussie summer. I live in a hot humid area.

Faith: WIP

Cpu: intel 6700k

RAM: g.skill ripjaw v 3200mhz 16 18 18 38 2n 32gb 4x8gb

MB: Asrock extreme 7+

GPU: GTX 1080 TI Poseidon Platinum Asus ROG
PSU: Cougar 1050W 80+ gold

Case: IN WIN 509 ROG [ black red ]

Cooling: Barrow Fittings, Block, 360mm x 60mm rad, 18w d5 pump, 210 res, EK blood red premix. Poseidon GPU block

 

SETUP: BenQ 27" 144hz|BenQ 28" 1080p VA 60HZ|Corsair Strafe RGB|Razer DeathAdDer Chroma|ATH IM70|E10k Olympus 2 amp|DX Racer King

What fans are you referring to and what speed are you running your fans at? Have you tried lowering them?

I didnt change anything on the Speed, i could change the Speed with Cooler Master Fan Controll (with the case controll).

Everything is on Default

Please answer the other questions. 

What fans are you referring to? 

Which header is each fan being powered from?

I am talking about the Corsair Air Series AF120 LED Quiet Edition,

they are all powered from the Cooler master fan controll (it came with the case).

 

The stock fans (that came with the case) are on "High mode" not as loud then the corsair ones on "low mode"

 

P.s: Sorry for my bad english and for any missunderstandings

They aren't great fans to begin with. Why not just stick with the stock case fans?

The low setting provides 7v which is ~60% speed. If that isn't low enough for you, use a different form of control or different fans.

I had some of those phanteks static pressure fans. I found the noise and acoustics to be a bit better than the noctuas I had.
