2000 version then? it's 6 dbl more, is it much?.

The iPPC noctuas aren't meant to be as quiet as the normal versions. Just get the standard NF-A14 or Silent Wings 2's instead. 

Hi,

I have another build around here and I always use Corsair's fans, but I want to buy something different for the first time.

I will buy a GTX1080 with my i7-6700k, I want them to be coolest possible.

 

Which is better, 2000 or 3000, and IP67 or not?.

 

(I hate a fan sounding like an engine of an airplane)

3000 rpm version is better, more air, but sounds like a hairdryer

I wanted noctua because of its colors.

But, if they are noisy I will buy Corsair AF again, thanks.

Not sure which ones you're referring to. If you just want black fans, go with Silent Wings 2's.

I just like Noctua industrial PPC and Corsair AF because of their colors.

But, if noctua is loud, I will buy Corsair AF again

iPPC's are just black fans with brown rubber corners. Is that what you wanted or do you just want black?

Does that mean you plan to get the red chromax corners for the iPPC fan?

yeah, I was thinking on that.

But, if the Noctua's fan are loud, maybe I will stay with Corsair's fan AF140mm Quiet.

They are actually very quiet if you can provide a proper pwm signal. I personally use 2 5-way splitters from the cpu_fan header.
