Temperature/fan noise help?

[Savage Pvpman X D]

Hey all,

I recently purchased and built my first ever PC, pretty happy with it. Gets amazing frames.

 

But two things have been bugging me a little, the fan's whirring noises and the constant paranoia that comes with a first PC, is the temperature right?

I'm quite the noob when it comes to PC's, I've been rapidly learning about all the parts, I just have no ability to compare.. 

 

I used to to use a family iMac (pls don't hurt me), it was okay, but obviously not built for gaming.

One thing however I did like about the Mac was the fact that it was almost silent! My new PC however is almost the opposite.

 

The main source of noise is my cooler, a corsair H100i v2, the stock fans are fairly loud, even on "quiet" mode in Corsair Link. Is replacing the fans to something like the Noctua NF-F12 a good idea? It seems to have good reviews, but I'd like a personal answer. I have 3 other Coolermaster stock fans which came with the case, an outwards on the back and 2 inwards fans located at the front of the case.

Also what RPM (for all fans) would you recommend for this setup?

 

Also I'm worried about my CPU temperature, in BIOS it says my CPU temp is about 35-50°C and after an hour or two gaming (ranging from Minecraft to Fortnite) it goes to about 55-70°C (according to Corsair Link) is this healthy? My CPU is an i7 8700k, not OC (3.7GHz) but I plan on maybe OC in the future (to about 4.8GHz). Apparently Coffeelake is a hot processor anyway.. But I'd really appreciate feedback,

 

Thanks,

- Tom

NF-F12's are much quieter than the stock SP120L's but aren't necessarily the quietest solution.

Are you sure that the noise is coming from the H100i fans? Does stopping the fans with your hands stop the noise?

At one point I did completely turn off the Chassis/graphics card fans, but the noise was still fairly high, the only real possible output was the cooler.

 

Any suggestions for quiet fans? Also would you say the temperatures are healthy? Sorry about all the questions, I just want to make sure I have everything correct, as I am sure you can understand.

It could the the fan in the psu or the hdd. You won't be able to know for sure until you can stop the noise while the system is on.
