Replacement Fans - Case/H90

[SebastianEP]

Hi,

 

So I recently built my new gaming rig (links below) and I am considering replacing fans. This is mainly due to noise. I wouldn't exactly call it noisy - but it is audible when running.

I have included Pictures here for reference: http://imgur.com/a/Zsp2h

The H90 comes with a 140mm fan and I was thinking of getting a "Noctua NF-A14 PWM" as a replacement. Any thoughts on this? Will I "hear" an improvement sounds-wise?

For the Case I was thinking of replacing the 3 * 120mm Fans that came with the case with 3 * Noctua NF-P12 PWM. I was thinking of keeping the Side 200mm fan running through the built-in Fan-controller in the case. Just running as low as possible. The 3 case fans are currently running in the fan-controller built-in the case -  but I was thinking of using the motherboard for noise control.

Any thoughts on both the fans and using ASUS Software to control this?

I would definitely go for the noctua fan on the h90, although in the case noctuas would probably do fine as well. Also, good choice on the mobo, I've seen a few reviews of the ranger and it certainly seems like a hero minus the LEDs.

Thanks for the comment/s

The board and CPU was actually bundled so it was almost the same price as a standard Z97 Asus Board

Lucky, that's a steal.

Wounded up ordering a NF-A14 PWM for the H90 to see how much that changes it alone. I may order the case fans later on.
