H55 Water Cooling

I was wondering if you could get a better fan for the Corsair H55 Cpu water cooling. I do find it loud for a 120mm fan, and wouldn't mind a quiter fan but I don't want to give up performance at the same time. I currently have the AMD FX 8150 and it's idle temp is 31°C. I think that's a good temp for it. I don't recal what the CPU temp was with stock fan and heatsink. I wondered if case fans would help ? I have the HAF 922 case with 3 Cooler Master A20030 fans, The interior of the case is nice and open, with the Mobo temp being 29°C

Corsair SP 120?

 

35 dBA is louder then the H55 stock fan, and I find that loud as it is. Found some noiseblockers on amazon.ca, they are not cheap. How much of a difference would there be from the stock H55 Water cooling, vs a noiseblocker ?

Getting the noiseblockers would reduce noise MASSIVLY. What fan specifically are you looking at?

It is worth the money as you only need 1 for a h55 anyway. It's not gonna make your cooler

Super quiet though, as it will still make pump noise.

Ottawa, Canada and it depends if I get a quiter fan and a increase in airflow. I can get a Cooler Master 120mm that is 2000 rpm @ 18dB-A and 69 CFM for airflow, and locally. I don't know how good that would be though.

I'd suggest getting a Hyperborea: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/rosewill-case-fan-rocf11004

You'd lower noise and performance shouldn't change much. http://www.anandtech.com/show/6391/120mm-radiator-fan-roundup-part-2-fan-harder/6

Minus the Corsair suggestion, some good recommendations. Add the Enermax TwisterPressure to the list.
