Dude, one post is enough. There's no need to spam your question over other people's threads AND post up a separate thread of your own.
Your fans are great, you made the right choice.

hi yer sorry it was just i need to no which was best that is all do u think i should keep thease over the standereds corsair fans i got
and also when i am playing battlefield 3 my temp goes to about 50c is this about right

 

[Josh Weston]

Yes, keep them. They're far quieter and still cool well. 50*C is nothing to worry about - all is well.

great now i no that i can order the rest

1 more sp
and the afs

 

[Josh Weston]

Do, however, expect to see slight temperature increases since changing your fans. The stock Corsair fans spin crazy fast, hence the vast amount of noise.

Good luck with your purchases.

should i of got the perforence ones to get the same cool noice or the corsair standered

In my opinion, you made the right choice.

if you dont like the performance of the quiet edition, ive sucessfully under-volted
the perfroamcne versions. the performance editions pass more cooling through
the radiator than the quiets. under-volted to 7v they have a bit more wind noise
verses the quiets, but alot more flow. easily livable.. the cooling difference on my
H100 was 3° dual set and 6° for push/pull. thats @ 7v over the quiets.

the only thing is ok there alot alot alot quieter but i have come to feel the diffrence in the room when i am gameing and when i am gaming

real temp is showing me that my temps are getting as high as 60c now i dont no if that is alot but it feels it please adise on which is best and if 60c is to high ps will this do any damage in long run

 

[Josh Weston]

60*C is fine, but Airdeano has a lot more experience than I.
Try the Performance Editions at 7v and see what you think.

 

[marcus1987]

right ok then do u think i will see a drop in temps with them on the h80 ????

 

[Josh Weston]

Not by much, but yes. To be honest, as you've got the fans already, it's not worth it in my opinion.

ill snap a pic of the PSU molex to show how i did it..


airdeano

the loudest component is the PSU fan (old silverstone ST70F) with a ragged
135mm fan (gotta change that PSU some day?!?!).

i like 'em over the quiets, for the performance. as soon as the BGears 120's get in, i'll have a go with them as well.
