Hello
i need your help or opinion. can I replace the original fans on the DeepCool LT520?
I want Arctic P12 because the original fans are too noisy.
original fans - 500 - 2250 rpm, 85,85 CFM, 3,27 mmaq
Arctic P12 - 200 - 2000 rpm, 48,80 CFM, 1,85 mmaq

is it a good idea or not? Thank you

If it is a 120mm fan, you are free to do as you please. Arctic P12 are great price/performance and are fine for heatsinks.

The price of your AIO + slightly upgraded fans (P12s in this case) is the same as just getting the bigger 720. It would have made more sense to have gotten the bigger AIO in the first place and instead lowering the fan RPM. P12s will only give you a tad less noise at the same temps, you really have to spend $30+ per fan on something like the Phanteks T30 to get a noticable upgrade fan wise. Not a kind of outlay I'd recommend unless you already have the larger AIO or cannot fit the larger AIO.

How do you have your fan curve configured? And how often do you max out the rpms?
If you're running at max or near to max rpms when working or gaming for long periods of time a fan change may not help much.

No configured fan curve, fan run around 1200 rpm while gaming and CPU have 60 +-3*
i only play games for 2-3 hours per day.
This fan in 1200 rps is sooo noisy…

In that case a fan change would probably be a great idea.
