Swapping out fans

[Blindeagle]

Hey guys I'm on my way to building my PC but trying to figure what the last part about the cooling. I'm going to be buying either a: 

"nzxt kraken x62" or a "corsair h115i pro" however I've heard both of them can be a bit loud under load. I saw somewhere that if i swap out the fans for "X2 beQuiet Slient wing 3 fans 1000rpm" it would make a ddiffrance but i would love to get a second opinion on this: 

 

My build is :

Thanks in advance

Instead of immediately swapping out the fans, I would recommend to make sure that you set up a proper fan curve based on fluid temperatures. Unneccesarily fast fans are a very common with people who use AIOs, make sure you connect the fans to the pump header and not the motherboard, and install the USB cables if you want to setup a custom fan curve that is further tuned that the firmware installed one (which is actually fine too).

Ah i haven't actually built the system yet, i will be buying the parts but i just wanted to know if people knew about the fans etc

Alternatively, you can connect your fans to a separate fan controller. My rad fans are connected to one, and kept at a constant rate.

That's gonna be a bangin' system. Very nice.

 

Something you might find suitable to reducing fan speed/noise is going ahead and getting extra fans and installing them with the existing fans in a push/pull configuration. Then you could run slower fan speeds. Additionally you would utilize the included fans so it won't feel like you're wasting money when you think about not using the fans that come with the AIO.

 

Also, did you notice that your selected m.2 drive is not NVMe? It might be worth getting the Samsung 860 evo 1tb or some other 2.5" SSD so you don't occupy a m.2 slot unnecessarily.

Thanks for the info i think i'm going to do that. Ye it was so cheap for a 1TB M.2 but now people are telling me i should just get a normal 2.5 SSD rather then take up the M2 slot but i think it would just save on the cables etc as i'm not planning to have an  NVMe in my system yet, but i dunno, what do you think?

Well your motherboard and PSU should have the cables for a 2.5" SSD and the HDD so you won't have to worry about that. The Asus site should tell you how many cables come with the motherboard. My Asus motherboard came with two SATA cables.

Sorry what i mean , is it a bad thing that i use an m.2 drive not  a NVMe? will it make the pc bad etc or can i just do it anyway

I wouldn't say it's bad it can just get in the way of an upgrade path down the road. The only immediate downside might be heat but if you point a fan or have a heatsink on it you should be fine.

Ah thats perfect, i might just get the 960 evo and then a normal HD drive or other option just get a 1TB normal 2.5 SSD and a HD drive , maybe skip the m2 if its going to overheat etc

I wouldn't worry too much about the heat unless you're gonna be transferring large or many multiples of files at the same time.  It's more just frustrating if it does happen.
