So I have:
- 2x Stock fans that come with H80
- 2x Noctua NF-P12
- 2x Coolermaster R4 Blue LED
- 2x 38mm Ultra kaze fans (I got fan controllers if needed)
- 2x Scythe Slip Stream Kaze Maru 2 140mm (fits only in 120mm fan holes) medium speed (http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=48770&vpn=SM1425SL12M&manufacture=Scythe) or I can exchange them for the high speed ones if needed
The stock fans keeps my i7 3820 @ 4.5Ghz at 60C max, under 70C (~68) at low. I'm comfortable with both those temps for now. I think I set it up so that it takes cool air from outside and dumps it in the case though, so either I leave my side panel off or I should switch?
I don't mind noise when I'm alone in the house with headphones, but otherwise, the most important is to keep the temps, let's say ~65C, but at low noise levels, ie: a nice balance between noise and airflow. I think I'll be satisfied with any of these fans, but I'd like to have the best one for me without trying them all out
Also, I'm looking for 140mm fans (with 140mm fan mounts) with very low noise with decent airflow, kind of like the noise level of the Kaze Maru 2 (medium) ish, big bonus for Blue LEDs
