I’m really new to building pcs but my fans are loud as hell

Are these fans good good or are they just break the bank good

[-] theragu40@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

Yes they are really good.

However consider the totality of your noise footprint when setting your expectations. I started with quieter case fans, which allowed me to hear how damn loud my cpu cooler was. Replaced that with a Noctua, and that alerted me to how loud HDDs are and how often my psu fan kicks in.

My case now has zero HDDs, all Noctua fans including CPU cooler, and a PSU that will stop spinning completely if temps drop below a threshold.

If my fans don't spin up over 50% I cannot hear them. It's great.

I use two server Fans to cool practically everything, Without headphones, there is nothing else to hear other than them, but active noise cancelling is magic and now it is completely silent, as your setup.
