Is it possible to change the fans that come with CPU cooler?

or just give the PA120 a try and see if it's really that loud

Sounds good, as mentioned, you should be able to upgrade those fans no problem to Noctua later if needed.

Oh yeah, the way my curves are they spool right up. Just throwing this out there but PA-120 is a better cooler than U12S.

It means I have a steep fan curve so as soon as the CPU starts to make heat they boost right up. I ran industrial 120x38s for years, and I used to use a TY-143 on my heat sink for a few years, now I use it as a case fan so noise is not really an issue for me. But it does get annoying at times. On the other hand when I use my 5600X my fans don’t spool up as much as they do with my 5900X. My system is pretty quiet until it gets busy..

 

Silence and high performance do not go hand in hand 😄

 

Unless you don’t mind your components roasting 👍🏻

Looks like they are a custom size, so maybe not.

 

Edit:

But it also says this:

So  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

na it says the fan is a standard 120 mm 25 mm fan. i would just leave it though its probably gonna be fine. try it out first then think about other fans. if that time comes, you will be watching fan reviews on youtube and you will know what to get. probably noctua

On a side note: 

If I have a black case (Define C), White RAM (Crucial Ballistix White) and B550 Tomahawk - what would look prettier? The PA120 White or Black? Or just the normal gray

 

I do love the look of white RAM inside, but I now wonder if this giant white cooler won't be too much

I would go for white or black. I have the grey but if other colours were available at the time I would have gotten black or white maybe.. I don’t know I like the grey too I guess..
