I would have probably upgraded my system within the next two years so I would then be able to start saving for newer fans so it shouldn't be an issue. I don't see the ticking noise being a problem either really, I'm usually watching or listening to something so I can't hear my PC anyway

Then the fans should be fine.

Oh right, sorry, one of those days. So it should be fine then?

If you don't mind the potential ticking noise, then yes. On another note, the Corsair fans have a 2 year warranty, rather than the 6 year warranty offered by Noctua. Would that be a problem?
