So I switched from the stock fans on the Kraken x61 to two Noctua NF-A14's and the noise level went way down and I'm getting ~4ºC less temperatures. It's worth it.

 

Just thought I'd share for anyone who was on the fence.

Thanks for this as i was wondering a few weeks ago about the difference it would make and i just got told that it was pointless.

Well since it is your money. It is up to you to decide what is pointless.

If you care about silent computing, the NF-A14's have convinced me that noctua is the way to go :P
