Help me Decide

[TheNinjaNextDor]

I have a bunch of Corsair SP fans laying around that would look amazing in my build. I'm thinking I could use them at a very low RPM (7v) with reducers where they are visible so there could be 2-3 of them, I'll leave the GTs in the front.

 

How much of a noise difference do you think there would be?

 

It would be 3 Corsair SP120 Quiet Edition running at 7V or 3 Scythe GT running at 7V

 

Thanks.

The Corsair SP series is, in itself, pretty damn quiet. If you own the SP120 Quiet Editions especially, AND are going to run them @ 7v.. I doubt you'll even know they're running.

These are some of my favorite fans. I have 7 of them in my case right now. My case is not a quiet one, and is extremely open (NZXT Phantom 820) and I don't hear any of them.. None are undervolted either. And some of them are the Performance Edition, and even AF120 Performance Editions. My SP120s are about as loud as a rock.

 

So, with that said.. I say hell yeah man, go for it. Let me know the results!

I think I will do it! I had 8 of them at 12V in another PC and it was actually pretty quiet. I'll tell you the results!

If they are in a visible spot I would say go ahead and replace the GT's since the noise would be a negligible difference most likely since they are both at 7v

I just replaced my top and back fans... omg they look amazing. Totally worth it even if they are a little louder.

 

Thanks for the answers

 

I'll post pictures in my build log if you want to see.

Yeah, the Style-to-Performance ratio on Corsair's fans is epic.
