NFP14s as my 2 front intake fans and 1 as my rear exhaust fan.

NFA14s 2 of them in a pull configuration on top of my nepton 280L radiator.

What do you guys think of this setup? is it good and will it improve my temperatures?

At the moment I'm using a 140mm fractal design and a stock corsair 140mm fan that came with the case as my 2 pull configuration fans on top of my radiator. For rear exhaust I'm using one of the coolermaster jetflo fans that came with the cooler. The 2 front intake fans were never removed when i bought the case, so i still have the 2 stock corsair fans as front intake.

So, do you guys reckon the new noctua fans setup would help improve temperatures and noise?

What are your current temperatures (Motherboard, CPU, GPU)? It may not be worth it adding new fans. I nevertheless can confirm that the NF-A14 is really silent.

Cpu i get around 55 degrees while playing bf4 or shadows of mordor. I remember the gpu reaching as high as 77 degreese in shadows of mordor. Im not sure what the motherboard temperatures are.

Edit: im not adding, I'm going to be replacing my current ones with the noctua ones.

Edit2: silent even at maximum rpm 1500?

Your temperatures are correct. You for sure will gain some degrees, but the gain will not be tremendous. Nonetheless , if you are looking for a silent and efficient fan setup, using NF-A14s is a good idea.

I just updated my system specs, they were completely out of date. I would honestly be happy with a 5 - 10 degrees celsisus decrease in cpu and gpu temperature. If the noctuas can help me achieve that with alot less noise as well, than it will definitely be worth it

You could reach a ~6° difference at most in my opinion. Here is a little comparison of the most interesting fans. As you can see , the NF-A14 is one of the most airflow-noise efficient.

Mhmmm.. looks good and i believe the NF-A14s come with Y splitters as well, which is exactly what i also need. Thanks for your help random, i will gladly buy these unless someone else says otherwise with valid reasoning.

Different case fans won't do too much in terms of temperatures. Noise, yes if they are quieter than the fans that you are replacing. Perhaps invest in a better cooler for your GPU? CPU temps look good.

better cooler for gpu? like what exactly though? and wouldn't it be hard to install? meh i just want cpu temperatures to improve even more... and gpu just abit more as well, but atm cpu is more important. I use to get 50 degrees maximum with this different fan setup i had, but that setup took up too much space and noise. So I"m hoping 2 noctuas on the radiator will make a difference to what i have now. perhaps some new noctua case fans will help a tiny bit too.. in terms of noise especially.

EDIT: i've got a coolermaster nepton 280L, so i expect to have better tempertures. My fx8350 is not even overclocked.
