Cooling Corsair H100 + replacement fans

Hi guys,

I've got the h100 being delivered today and I've read that the fans can get quite noisy at high speed. I want to buy replacement fans for it that have good cooling and low noise.

Thanks

 

I bought the Sythe Gentle typhoons AP15 great fans or you can go for the Akasa Apaches

 

Ap-15s on my kuhler 920.. loudest of all my rig fans apart from my 670s fan. Good fans but not the quietest.. i did find fan control software that helped but i might just invest in a fan controller lul.

Ap 15s have amazing performance but they are not the quietest.

I still use one but i wouldnt put more than one in my rig because im a noise freak

 

@Custompc have informed me that a group test is planned for the near future. I think I'll keep what I've got on it for now.

Running a 4.6 overclock on my 3770k 1.330 voltage with a 79.C on my new h100 so it's not all bad.

 

try dropping the voltage down to 1.3v temps might drop a bit.

 

Good news, was just about to post this same question for quieter fans to go on a H70

 

Don't know if the fan headers on the H100 are 4pin PWM or not, so..

3pin fan - Scythe Gentle Typhoons
4pin PWM - Phoyba Nano 2G PWM.

 

The fans on medium setting are good enough and will not make any annoying noise while still cooling well enough.
What you need to be more concerned about is the crappy pump.
The H100 is flawed and the pump will start grinding and making more noise than any fans on your system.
Corsair are in the process of bringing out a revision to replace the faulty units that are selling right now.

Be prepared for a RMA
