Posted January 24, 2015 Hey Guys, Sorry if this question has been answered a million times already. I just can't find a good thread for it. Again sorry. So I bought an NZXT Krakken X40 and was wondering if I upgraded the fans to NOCTUA's NF-A14 FLX from the FX-140LB that come stock will I see significant improvement on my CPU Temps? I just want to get some opinions on this. Thank you!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to get some opinions on this. Thank you!!! You will get reduced noise, but reduced temps? Not so much. Adding a 2nd fan for push/pull might get you an additional 2-4C temperature drop. If you want lower temps, you could buy a 2nd fan to use with the stock fan, doesn't have to be noctua, because they are crazy expensive. You could also consider buying some high end thermal paste to replace the stock stuff. Thermal paste you're only looking at 1-2C improvement.
