is it worth switching fans

[2chriswy]

ok so currently im using AP122 in push pull on a themaltake water 3.0 and im not very happy with the noise of it.

would it be better if i switched to NF-F12-PWM will i see any performance increase or will it only be a difference in noise.

imo noise is a much bigger factor, especially when it comes to wc. So i'd say yes, its worth it.

If you really want silence, look at either Noise Blocker ELoops or Scythe Gentle Typhoons, when undervolted the NF-F12s are louder than those two and push, roughly, the same amount of air.

Not really, there would be a difference in noise but it wouldn't really affect your temps very much

i really hope because i don't want to waste $60 and have the same amount noise

Silence can be big or small depending on who you talk to. if you want to, you can get quieter fans and maybe higher preforming.

Eloops come out a bit and hit the radiator or case .

If you set them up to pull through the rad then they are fine.

its a single 120mm rad so push pull is kind of needed plus i cant get those fans from any of my local computer shops.
