Fans for "Ugly-as-hell" loop

[MindArlekin]

Couple days ago I build my first loop.

It works fairly well, but it's ugly as hell, I made a lot of mistakes, so I already planned to rebuild it at coming weekend.

My idea was to build cheap loop, but without performance compromises. To do that, I sacrificed aesthetics and quietness.  And it worked out, almost.

As you might expect I bought most of my parts from Aliexpress (except rad and some fittings). And fans too. I thought, that instead of buying cheap mediocre fans at my city, it better to buy cheap but powerful fans from Ali.

So, i ended up with 3 server 120mm dual ball bearing Delta server fans for 15 bucks. 3800 rpm and 80+ CFM. What could have gone wrong?

I was not worried about noise, because I already had quite noisy system and I always used headphones (I rent room in apartment, so...).

But after I plugged all up and start my PC, it was like i was near starting jet plane. And even headphones with thrash metal on max volume doesn't help.

I predicted, that this fans will be noisy, but i hoped, that I put them at a half power and noise will be acceptable. And I did so. But in that case I can't use all that sweet CFM of that fans.

And now I looking for decent replacement.

 

So, my questions is:
1. As I understand, pressure optimized fans will be better. But how much better? In ideal case, without consideration of noise. Just two fans, one airflow optimised and have greater CFM and second one pressure optimized.

2. What models do you recommend? Without noise consideration, for that exist PWM. And with maximising performance per dollar. Many models don't sell in my country, but nonetheless. (may be this thing is not bad? https://www.arctic.ac/eu_en/p12-pwm.html )

 

Sorry, if somewhere exist topic with similar questions, I just lazy ass. Even to use search bar.

If you've read this far, you're really cool. I would have fallen asleep a long time ago.

Thank you in advance.

Ugly?  Noctuas of course.  For pressure go with the NF-P12 Redux  (Their uglier, cheaper line)

You chose Delta Server Fans - that's the problem lol.  (likely 55+ dBA)

 

Look for fans with around 35 max dBA rating.  Static Pressure preferably as these are built to SHOVE air through radiators.

Just bought 3  Noctua NF-P12 redux-1700. Now i hear mor of pump noise, than fans.

For my taste plain gray is more stylish than two shades of brown.

Thanks everyone.
