Does fan speed change temperatures?

[SlaughterSmurf]

So I have an H100i, and I was wondering, will there actually be a sizable temperature difference between quiet mode and performance mode?

[WoodenMarker]

No offense but yes. Duh.

They wouldn't have different modes otherwise.

[helping]

A few c at most depending on difference between ambient and load.

I was just intersted because I was finding at quiet I was getting 72, at maximum I was getting 70. Def not worth the stupid noise difference.

If you want lower noise, getting the h100i probably wasn't the best idea.

If you want some quieter fans, sickleflows perform like the stock fans but are much quieter.

Just throw some fans with good static pressure on the H100i and set it up as pull system and you will have lower temps and much quieter fans .

Mounted as exhaust or intake?

[Najuno]

That depends on the case and its airflow you are using. With my 900d if have such good airflow that I can use them as "exhaust" if you want to call it like that.

 

The thing is you should always have a bit higher pressure in the case than in your environment around, that you don´t have to deal with dust too much. And for sure a good airflow will aswell take care that your passiv cooled components get enough fresh air.

I used to get about an 8 degree difference between running my GT's at 5v or 12v so yeah. Speed makes a difference.

Sickleflows are actually terrible.

 

If you still can, get gentle typhoons, otherwise get nf-12

 

Also coolermaster blademaster 120 can be really good too.

This is for the h80, not the h100i. The h80 is a thicker radiator and results are quite different from a thinner one.

[FluffyNuggets]

It will but not by much, especially on such a thin radiator like the H100i.  When I had the H100 I ran my fans at their lowest fixed rate. I hate noise more than I hate higher temps!
