Replacing Rad Fans...

So I have an H110, and after a few months the fans start a rattling noise at around 50% (I have a fan controller). I googled around and saw many people upset with Corsair for providing shitty fans with such a great cooler. Anyways, I bought a pair of Noctua 140mm NF-A14 PWM's. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CP6QLY6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They're butt ugly as fuck but from reviews they're one of the best to be had.

 

Anyone with these or any other Noctua brand fans? How's the performance, quality, durability, efficiency, etc? I went with these because Noctua is a highly respected brand across the PC market. Will these reduce temps compared to the stock Corsair ones? (My temps are fine, just wondering.)

 

Thanks for answering the questions guys! :)

I have some NF-F12 iPPC and my brother has 4 of the NF-A14 iPPC 3000, they're great fans though very expensive. Yes, I can confirm that the fans that come provided with the H110 are complete shite, my brother swapped them out for said fans and I think his temps improved, not sure since he never told me.

Hello LTT forums,

 

I have a similar question to the OP.

 

I want to replace the stock fans on my H100i and i was looking at either Corsair sp 120's LED editions, or Cooler Master Jetflo 120's. Im also looking to have red LED's

 

Does anyone have a recommendation either way? or any other suggestions? (im too poor for noctua fans)
