When I get my define S case, and h105 cooler,

 

what will be the best way to make my system quiet without it looking like literal shit (noctua)

 

I know noctua are releasing their chroma versions but i dont even know when they are coming?? Also wandering is there any AIO that comes with silent fans, or is it just best to get a h105 or something and noctua fans? Another question is the fans that come with the case, are they good enough to be quiet? I like the white. Maybe i could replace them with silent white fans?

 

I don't need complete silence but I dont wanna hear my machine

 

h105 will be front mounted, with top moduvents closed!

Only AIO that comes with decent fans is the Nepton 240M, but i think getting rad fans is better, specially in your case. Fractal Design's Venturi fans are looking very good, Jayztwocents did a video on them, and they seem very good quality (and quiet of course) I would get the H105, cause...it's basically the cheapest 240mm thick rad from a reputable company, and while i have nothing against noctua, it's not like everyone else in the fan industry is brain damages, there are many good high quality quiet fans out there, i like phanteks and silverstone (air penetrators aren't pretty but they are very useful) For the rad i think EK Vardars are coming out in all white, if not, phanteks PH-F120MP have a very similar aesthetic to Fractal's and i find them very quiet. Just remember to get good fan control, either with the mobo or separetly, no fan is quiet at full RPMs

So my case fans are alright, what about rad fans? What do i do about that?

Also how do i control the rad fans? Is it a fan profile? Also for the fan controller on my case, does that control both front and back

I have 7 fans on my system and i control all of them from the mobo, i use splitters (only 4 contralable fan headers) Personally i don't have problems with pump sound so i just have it plugged on a CPU OPT header i can't control and it runs at full speed, my 2 phanteks PH-F120MP are plugged into the CPU fan since they are on my rad. My 2 AP121s are also on my rad (Push pull) so i have them set on CPU1 header (splitter). My 2 top fans are controlled by another fan header with a splitter and my rear fan takes the final header. I have a maximus VI formula which has great fan control, same as any ASUS mobo. Personally, i prefer to control fans by software so i will use splitters all i have to in order to get all my fans plugged in my mobo. Almost all AIOs will come with a PWM splitter for the fans, so plug those on the CPU FAN header (Even if you get another fan, and splitters are dirt cheap anyway) Basically mate, you control them the same way you would control your CPU fan on a heatsink, and if you can you can make fan curves, specially if you got an ASUS mobo (that's why i like them so much) IMO as long as you don't have a metric shitton of fans, splitters and mobo headers are the best choice

I agree, but I don't think i'll need a splitter since i dont have that many fans, but ill have to check how many fan headers i have.. I definitely prefer software control, but will I be able to do it with the 2 included, just plugging into fan headers instead of psu i spose?

 

But yeah im not fan of fan controller phsyically. Your setup is very nice though, splitters must be a dream

 

Thanks for the help, i'll try let someone else reccommend some fans, maybe ill just buy the same fans that come with it, but im not sure how good they will be for a rad
