NiC C5 cooler modification

[Swetox]

Hey guys I've bought the NiC C5 and the fans are too noisy, the question is, Can I change them? What fans do you recommend me to change them for? Would I lose performance?

Welcome to the Forums!

 

As for the fans on the cooler yes they can be changed, but have you tried lowering the speed of them to try and quiet them down?

 

For performance if you slow them down yes it loses some cooling for silence, as for new fans if they are good ones it can improve both silence and cooling potentially. some good 120mm fans, are Fractal Desing Venturi's, Noctua NF-F12, and EK Vardars to name a few.

I've noticed that I have two extra CM sicleflow fans, can I use them without losing performance?

For coolers or radiator you want pressure oriented fans to force air through the fin aray, the Sickleflow ones are decently good pressure fans so they should work well.
