which type of fan ??

[alsar88]

should i grab noctuas or corsairs ???
noctuas are great (have 2 of them) but i need four more and they would cost (23*4) 92$ vs corsair 2 pack (2*34) 68, are the corsairs really the much worse ??? any one with both can please share..

Corsairs are better performance.
Noctua's are good performance, but much quieter.

how are the quite edition corsairs ? and by how much ? i know the ones i have arnt the af or sp brands but they are decent, only hear them when the room is pin drop quite.

AF = AIrflow (For cases)
SP = Static Pressure (for CPU Heatsinks)

No idea on the quiet edition. I'd take the Corsair for the performance factor myself. Not too concerned about noise.

they have noctua a14 on sale on newegg.ca for 22.49 (make an account and use prime for free shipping) and i think ill grab 2 for now and see how they are and just take one of mine from the top and put them as exhaust.

I would grab a 2 pack of corsair af120 quiet editions. Im hearing my harddrives click. And my temps are as low as ever
