The industrial series isn't quiet at all.

They are, unless you run them at full speed....

I agree with the noctua industrial. Set up a custom fan curve and you'll be fine. I personally set mine to run at 60% at 70 and running up to 100% by 90 and I never heard it run since it was usually at 50°C running at about 35%

My rig:
CPU: i5 4690k 24/7 @4.4ghz (1.165v) Max 4.7ghz (1.325v) COOLER: NZXT Kraken X61 MOBO: Asus Z97-A   RAM: 16GB Crucial Ballistix Tactical   GPU: EVGA GTX 970 SSC   PSU: EVGA GS 650W   CASE: NZXT Phantom 530 HDD: WD Caviar Blue 1TB + WD Black 2TB

The fan is audible, I can hear the rotations of the fan going round, it's very distracting in a quiet room, it was expensive as well so I'm very disappointed with it as I thought it was a silent fan but it's not.

if the fan is audible it must be because the cooler is not capable of dealing with the heat?!

what CPU you have and what OCing?

CPU: AMD A8-7650K Radeon R7, 10 Compute Cores 4C+6G

 

It's not overclocked, I don't know how to overclock plus I don't need to overclock either :)

that's a 95W TDP CPU, possibly even more because of how AMD does estimate it's TDP ratings

if you wanted a quiet CPU cooler for that CPU, I'm sorry to say you chose wrong
