silence is key

[Sub2pewdiepie]

my pc that i just finished building is very loud because it only is using the two fans that came with the case and the cpu cooler

i am wondering what fans you would recommend to make my computer very quiet

Berfore buying new fans have you tried to set a custom fan curve?

If you're going for silence Noctua is your friend. I recommend the Noctua NF-F12 Chromax.

It's up to you, but if you say that they're loud then it would defeat the purpose of buying new ones if you kept them.

While I love and personally use Noctua for their performance,  if silence is what you care about most then you really want BeQuiet! fans.

The king of high performance silent operation are the Noctua NF-A12x25.

few silent solutions: Be QUiet! Pure Wings 2 PWM, Be Quiet! Silent Wings, Alpenföhn Wing Boost 3, Lepa BOL.QUIET, some Arctic bionix coolers are quiet as well... No need to pay the premium Noctua pricing..

What fans are you using and which headers are you powering them off of? What rpm are they running at?
