I want to replace my stock Hyper 212 Evo fan for something a bit quite and better looking. I looked at the NF-F12 and the Cosair SP120. The NF-F12 have good reviews, but the color scheme doesn't match my PC's color scheme(black/red). The Cosair SP120 looks good, but some reviews show it being too loud. Which fan should I choose? Any new suggestions are welcomed.

CPU: Intel Core i5-6600k @ 4.2GHz - CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo - Motherboard: ASUS MAXIMUS VIII HERO ALPHA - RAM: 2x8GB Cosair Vengeance LPX 3000MHz  - GPU: EVGA GEFORCE 980 Ti ACX2.0+ - Case: NZXT ATX Mid Tower CA-H442W-M1  - Storage:  1x Samsung 950 PRO 512GB, 1x WD Black 6TB - PSU: EVGA SuperNova 750W B2 80+ BRONZE - Mouse: Razer DeathAdder Chroma - Keyboard: Razer BlackWidow Stealth

NF-P12, the F12 is a lot louder and the temp difference is not noticeable

 

SP120s are kinda loud too

My friend, you have obviously not seen their Industrial series.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

SP120 Quiet Editions arent loud. AF120 QE's are better. Avoid the LED versions as they are far worse and aren't comparable.
