I came back to this because I changed my setup since my last post. The stock fans move 100cfm.. you can’t do that silently, just as an fyi. 

Really?  😮  I didn't know that. 🤣

I've been using computers since around 1978, started learning programming in 1980 on Apple IIs, started learning about hardware in 1990, ran a BBS from 1990-95, built my first Windows PC around 2000, taught myself malware removal starting in 2005 (also learned on Bleeping Computer), learned web dev starting in 2017, and I think I can fill a thimble with all that knowledge. 😉 I'm not an expert, which is why I keep investigating the answers that others give to try and improve my knowledge, so feel free to double-check the advice I give.

My phone's auto-correct is named Otto Rong.🤪😂

Its all good buddy. I am running a single fan on FC140 right now, and this thing is as quiet as a church mouse. If I am honest, I can run my 58X3D with no fan on the cooler and it will be just fine.

That's cuz you're a magician, though. I can barely put my shirt on correctly let alone do what you do! 😀 ☺️ 😃  😃 😀 😄 😁 🤣 😂 

 

Seriously though, what's your formula for doing it with no fan?

 

And, hey, I know 100CFM tends to be noisy. Heck, I was doing noise testing on lesser fans and hearing annoying noise down to 20-25 dBA.
