Hi guys! 

 

Got a few questions (Going to kill a few in one post) 

 

I want to get some new LED fans (red ones) I was thinking the new Corsair fans (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01G5I6QH6?ref_=ams_ad_dp_asin_1&th=1) or was going to see what else there is. However are the corsair fans quiet? I am a noise freak as I have my pc right next to me on my desk. The noise got so bad I have an entire solid state system not instead of a mechanical drive xD 

 

Second question (Not related to fans) 

I'm looking for a Cherry MX Blue keyboard. Not set budget I want good feautures to the cost of the price

Don't use fans if you care that much about noise.

Corsair fans aren't quiet.

I heard their fans are not super quiet. But that is as much info as I have on them.

 

As for keyboard, Ducky Shine (RGB), Coolermaster Masterkeys/CM Storm quickfire and the Corsair K70 are all nice.

There are RGB and non-rgb versions of all, some MX Blues version are harder to get than others. It really just depends on what you want.

Wrist rest? RGB? Media keys? etc.

Also, MX Blues aren't exactly quiet either.

If the noise of a hard drive bothered you, then the only fans that won't bother you are Noctua and Bequiet Silent Wings 3s.....

But AFAIK, those Corsair fans are fairly quiet...

If you are a noise freak, just pick up a Corsair STRAFE with MX Silents or a Keyboard with MX Reds...
