Replacing Fans on AIO

[Ishenferi]

Hi everyone!

 

I’m planning my build for early next year, and was thinking of trying out an AIO, like the Kraken Z73. I was wondering what kind of performance increase (if any) I would get by replacing the stock fans with Noctuas? Does anyone have benchmarks for that?

I dont know what your gonna cool with it but from what i read them stock fans ar not that bad.

The differences are pretty minor, but the NF A12x25 wins in the audio department across all speed settings, and wins the thermals at everything except max speed. We're only really looking at a few degrees at best here though. I personally prefer the Noctuas just for their acoustics though.

 

Thank you! This is exactly the kind of thing I’m looking for. I figured it wouldn’t be a huge difference, but I share a home office so acoustics are definitely a concern. Thanks!
