Better fans

Maihym

So I currently have 2 fans on my radiator that are fairly loud and running a pull configuration. I have 1 exhaust fan that came with my case, one intake fan that came with my 212 Evo, 2 that came from a previous case. I'm looking to get some better yet quieter fans for a decent price, hopefully less than $20 a fan. I would prefer the fans to be all black or maybe black with red leds. I'm looking to replace all of my fans including the radiator fans if they're quiter and give better cooling. I can take pictures of the fans at a later time if needed. But basically I have 5 intake fans including the radiator fans and 1 outtake fan. Let me know if you guys can find what I need please. Thank you

What are your load temps? Have you tried lowering fan speeds?

It isn't likely to both lower noise and improve performance by any significant amount.

The fans that you guys are suggesting me, are they case fans or radiator fans because my radiator fans are the loudest.

Most fans aren't strictly case or rad fans since the appropriate fan design will vary depending on the rad being used. AIO's usually have pretty dense fin arrays which is why they tend to benefit from fans with higher static pressure more so than rads with looser fins.

@Maihym
I'm curious about your temps. as well since I own a similar case (mine is without window) and was about to invest in water cooling as well :)
I just bought some case fans, and got them today and I was on a tight budget. I really wanted two Noctuas (One for my CPU Heatsink, and one for the case) but I opted for two case fans instead.
They're complementing the standard Phantek fans pretty well (and honestly made them better imo).

They're the ones @PCNoobie recommended - The Arctic F12 ones :)
I used this site to compare and read up on some of the fans I was looking at
http://www.vortez.net/articles_pages/120mm_and_140mm_fan_comparison,1.html

The fans suggested by PCNoobie are case fans, and the noctua fan suggested is a focused flow one.
I haven't read up on the others... yet :P

Here are my temps, I ran Aida64 and I'm uploading a video of how loud the PC is while under full load. I just decided to show the temps in the video.

Your temps are very low. Why not just lower your fan speeds?

Yeah I suppose I can try that.

@WoodenMarker holy shit, my temps are still around 57 degrees on full load and I changed my fan speeds to silent in my BIOS. It's so much quieter, at least 5 times quieter than before, thank you.
