Silent 92mm fan for CPU cooler

Vegetable

CPU cooler has a single 92mm fan. It's the original antec blue led one from probs 07'. Anything's an upgrade from it and all I ask is that it will keep my cpu cool and quiet too. Any links to fans helps lots. Thanks, Vegetable.

Bit of an AMD fan I suppose. I don't bias my replies to anything however, I just prefer AMD and their products. Buy whatever the H*CK you want.

This one if you don't mind spending a lot of money: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835608070

 

Or this one if you want to spend a reasonable amount: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103070

Actually I have a question. Will my thermal performance increase as well? like, will my temps go down a degree possibly?

Yes, but only if these two things happen:

  1. Your current cooling solution is soo terrible(clogged with dust, poor efficiency fan, etc.) that anything is better, so it will have an impact on cooling performance and noise performance.
  2. You can set a custom fan curve. If you can't, your system will have the same target temperature, so temperatures will theoretically be the same. Now, your system will probably be much quieter, but temps will probably be the same(unless if #1 is also happening, then temps will improve). If you can't adjust your fan curve and the new fan is much better, the fan will operate at lower speeds since it doesn't have to work as hard to maintain the same temperature, so even if you only see a 1-2 degree difference there are other benefits as well.
