Finally got rid of the loudest component in my PC: The original fans of my KFA 2070 Super
(lemmy.world)
Went with the Arctic P12 Max because they are incredible for their price. Went with the white version because it has better bearings making it even more quite. Didnt care how it looked but it actually doesnt look bad at all imo
Edit: Got a reply from Arctic on Twitter. Apparently the new revision of the black P12 Max also use a fluid dynamic bearing (the better one). If you want to go with the black ones, always check the description I guess

Edit: Here are some videos of the before and after. My phone doesnt record noise well so I had to boost the audio by 30db. Even still its a bit hard to judge how much of a difference it makes. Btw I didnt make any changes to the fan curve (yet). Idle temp went down about 10°C (probably also because the new fans dont completely stop spinning even on 0% for some reason. But you cant hear them at all so idc)
