R5 Is Too Loud

[marvin3]

For some reason, my R5 is too loud. The fans on my H100i are not being set to my 400RPM and the RPM on the case fans aren't going down. Anyway to make the build more quite?

It's only as quiet as the fans you install. Also, it's not magic; just because it's optimized for quiet operation doesn't mean you can load it up with fans and expect to still retain it.

Use the fan controller and use a custom curve to keep the fans quiet unless absolutely necessary.

Use quieter fans.

Use less fans.

Encase the entire pc in water.

Where did you mount your h100i? If you open the top you will get increased noise due to loss of sound dampened foam. Also are you using the stock fans with the h100i?

I mounted my h104 on top losing 2 moduvent covers but I have my fans on custom curve. The fans provided with the case are upfront and my rear fan if an af140 white led. Those fans are connected to the fan controller which is set to the lowest setting. My rig is very quiet at idle, and under load with my speakers on at low volume I can't hear any fan noise. Also my rig sit basically right next to me.
