Posted March 27, 2016 As in the title, I am wondering if I could use my 3 case fans and just use my 212 passively? The fan that comes with the EVO is the loudest part of my rig. I wont be gaming and the heaviest load will be web browsing and writing a word document.

Posted March 27, 2016 really? the EVO fan is pretty quiet at least my old one was. but idk i never go for passive. maybe just get a new fan to put on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted March 27, 2016 You can either set the fan speeds on low, or just get a new fan. While you can probably run it passively, but then you'd have to watch the temps. Safer to just get a quieter fan. Build Log - Liquid Black Fury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
