Trying to get an idea of how Cases/Fans have evolved, noise-wise, since I put together my original relic of a PC all those years ago.
Old Case & Fans: Coolermaster CM690 II Advanced with; 1 x 140mm front intake (A14025-10CB-3BN-F1) 1 x 120mm front intake (A12025-12CB-3BN-F1) 1 x 120mm bottom intake (A12025-12CB-3BN-F1) 1 x 120mm rear exhaust (A12025-12CB-3BN-F1) 1 x 140mm top-rear exhaust (A14025-10CB-3BN-F1)
I can run the PC at “Quiet” fan profile & it is whispering - hardly noticeable (& CPU/GPU-Junction are happy: 40-45°/42-45° respectively). When playing games it fires up (50°/96°), but I still don’t notice it as the game’s volume drowns it out.
I’ve modified the case in the hope to get the best airflow possible…& I’m pretty happy with it…

What I’m asking here is if I were to modernise the rig by ditching the old Coolermaster fans & slotting my components (list below) into a Corsair 4000D Airflow & using its stock 120mm fans as rear & top-rear exhausts + grabbing 3 x Arctic Bionix P120 as front intakes, would I have a quieter & cooler-temp PC?
Here are the rest of the components.
