Corsair H80i replacement fans

[BonkersMental]

Hi Guys, would appreciate your input and advice about my replacing stock fans on the corsair h80i. tho stock fans are good but they can get noisy. Im looking for 2 x 120mm static air flow fans that have good performance but remain quiet under load ( not asking a lot lol ). tho ive heard noctua are good i dont like the colour theme of those. im looking for all Black or Black and red. ive been doing some research online and would really appreciate your advice. thanks in advance.. PS ive a budget of upto £30 for the PAIR

I would go with Corsair SP120 Quiet edition (my favorite) or Noise Blocker Black Silent Pro fans PL2.

I would take a look at the EK Vardars as well mate

funny enough the corsairs and Vardars mentioned are on my shortlist.

Push/pull is highly over rated.

Get 1 Corsair SP 120 Quiet Edition and have it in pull, It's only 1-2c worse BUT this way it is SOOO much easier to clean the radiator as the dust won't be getting trapped between each fan, It will stick to the underside of the rad which is easy to wipe off and vacuum not to mention it will be quieter

Hmm ...thats a very good idea Dicehunter, ill give that a try. . btw how often should i clean my radiator ?. its been installed for a couple of months now .. spose ill notice an increase in temps as dust builds up and i havnt yet.

I run a stiff bristled brush over the under side of the rad once a month while holding a vacuum close to it, Does the trick
