Get a louder fan, I actually also like to hear my computer for some reason, so I just run the fans at ~50% speed most of the time.

Which actually reminds me of another question i was looking for a aftermarket CPU fan/heat sink for under $25 that is worth buying? dos that exist?

Never heard them in person, but they are branded as silent so I am sure the are fairly quiet. Your molex fans should be on full power unless they have those resistance adapters, if your mobo fans are pwm you can set them to run at 100% in your BIOS. I would imagine you are producing a fair amount of noise for those fans, so switching to something else could be an option if you aren't happy at the moment

The best CPU heatsink you can get for that price is probably the Coolermaster Hyper 212

If you want really loud fans that incidentally push a ton of air, then these are for you:

Not what I like at all the produce quite a whining sound, but be something you like

would the Coolermaster Hyper 212 be beter than the Xigmatek Loki SD963? i would like to stick to one company if possible.
Tbh I have never used or looked up benchmarks for the Gaia, the hyper 212 is tried and tested by many, but I'm sure the Gaia performs very similarly. I would go for which ever one is cheaper!

I know the feeling somewhat, when I did my first build for someone a few months ago, I was worried about the fact that I could barely hear any fans, so I just used the included fan controller (fractal define mini) to speed them up :)

i5 4670k - MSI GTX 770 gaming - Fractal design define R4 (windowed) - MSI Z87-G45 gaming - be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 2 - Corsair vengeance 8 gb (lp) - WB black 1tb - 256GB SSD - Corsair TX 750M - Ducky Shine 3
