Quieting down my 600T work log

[liveturbo24]

Hello everyone, so I'm aiming for a queit 600T gaming pc.

PC is already built. Stock 200mm intake fan. Stock rear 120mm fan turn it for intake with filter. H100i top mounted. Can't put the fans on the H100i in push cause the MOBO heatsick are too tall and it just clears the radiator. So i have 2 120mm fans mounted on top in pull config. First off the H100i fans are so goddamn loud at idle. They just cut thru the air and cause alot of air noise. No coil whine. So I did order Corsair SP120 quiet edition twin pack at the same time. Thwe SP120s move alot of air and are good at it but they are loud. First off at idle there is coil whine. Hook to the Corsair link, MOBO and even the case fan control. Still get coil whine. Next the SP120s off idle make wind noise just like the stock H100i fans. Just not happy with Corsair fans. I also put the fans inside the case and closed the side panels. At idle you can hear them. Bad bad fans. Only noise I can understand is my EVGA 680. 680 at 50% fan speed you can not hear it. At 60% you start to hear it but its not loud at all. Hell my xbox is 10x louder and the 680 is not even at 100% fan speed lol.

So I just ordered 1 COOLER MASTER Megaflow 200mm fan to replace the stock front 200mm intake and ordered 3 Noctua NF-F12 PWM 120mm(2 for the H100i and 1 for rear intake). Hoping that these fans fix my problem. I got a good deal from newegg. Each fan was 15% off when the promocode I got from newegg's email.

I take take before and after picture if everyone is interested. I'm still new to PCs and learning out. I'm having fun with if and just enjoy working on my PC.

Any comments and inputs are always great. Thanks guys.

So I replace my 2 SP120s on my H100i and installed 2 NF-F12s. Replace rear intake with NF-F2 and Replace front intake with CM megaflow. WOW my PC is quiet. Keep the GPU fan at 50% and my PC is very quiet. Love it, great fans.

Any problems with the replacement 200mm fan? I have the same case and I purchased the same COOLER MASTER Megaflow 200mm and ended up moving the HDD cage on the bottom because of clearance issues. All in all I do love this case though, same problem with the push pull configuration though on my XPSC 750 RS 240mm Extreme Water Cooling Loop. Other than that I just use the built in fan control because I'm not overly concerned with the noise which isn't even that bad. If your interested feel free to take a look at what I've done with my case to make it stand out from the rest :)

Yea, I had to move the HHD cage. I feel that the CM megaflow is very quiet. Your 600T looks great. I think in couple months I'll be moving the HDD in the 5.25 bays. Just don't like the look of having the case so close the the MOBO and PSU. Still looks clean but I like to open up the space. Also thinking about adding a 120mm fan next to my GPU. I have a EVGA 680 FTW+ and she like to run alittle warm. Idle its 29c. Most games it around 50c-60c. Only game I have that the temp stays around70-75C is Far Cry 3. But I keep the fan at 60% speed. Also my 3570K is OC to 4.2Ghz. Under max load with a H100i temps don't go past 60c. Under gaming temos stay around 40c-45c. Ilde it's 29c and normal use about 35c. Maybe one day I'll try to water cool the CPU better and add water cooling to my 680. But that maybe next years project.
