Hello, I need to choose fans for my 240 radiator

but the Noctua's fans are too expensive for my opinion(and I don't like the brown model)

So I thought about Corsair SP120 Performance Edition but I'm afraid it will be too loud

Someone who has these can tell me if it too loud?

for this radiator: EK-CoolStream 240 PE(thickness: 38mm, FPI:38(19 split fin))

how much RPM will give the best performance?

the most rpm possible, but they will be louder and it will only get you a few degrees better cooling

Mate spend money on them or don't bother at all!

 

Having had corsair fans in the past, they are more for looks then performance.  

 

Here is a solution, pure performance and inaudible sound (BeQuiet SilentWings 2) (airflow fan) and for (static fans) Noctua NF-F12 Industrial 2000RPM.

 

Get these and you won't ever look back.

Might add this later...

I Have them and they are pretty much silent if you have them under PWM control. I've been through about 6 differentness companies, and this is by far the best combination for airflow/static silent/performance.

Venturi HP-12 are top tier fans at about 1/2-2/3 of the price of noctua fans.

And they are all black.
