Thread moved to Air Cooling.

 

Those are three pin fans, and therefore use voltage control, not PWM. Unless Corsair has PWM versions.

So if my mobo has pwm and i have other fans that do should i just go to bios setttings and set it to (auto) instead of (pwm mode)?

I guess just Auto. I've never mixed fan types together, as I use a separate fan controller for all of my fans.

If they aren't quiet, what fans are?

AF120 QE's are quiet tier in my book. http://www.silentpcreview.com/article1342-page9.html

Well there's your problem. Lower the rpm then.
