Yeah they certainly can tbh.

Watch this. This is me playing with a 92mm Delta that was in my Aurora.

I'm controlling it in the Alien Command Center but you can clearly hear it lol.

The 120mm I have now is even worse. When I rev it up it actually scares me :lol:

You'll be fine so long as you can control it.

Note the PC was on the floor about six feet away lmao.

That was only one of them. There's two in the Aurora. One in the PCIE duct and one in the hard drive bay !

On the Area 51 there's two 120mm (PCIE and roof on the rad) and a blower fan in the hdd bay.

When you inititally put hardware in one the daughter IO board resets itself and when it does the fans set to 100% for your first boot (until you install the drivers and install .net framework).

It's actually scary. It's so loud it sounds like the PC is about to explode !

Good thing i perfer the DIY route

I run them at 20% so they're not even audible and crank them to 35% when gaming.

Edit: im looking at 3 Corsair SP120 rated at 62CFM each and i will put them in a push set up and then on the top of my HAF-X 942 ill add 2 BitFenix Spectre Pro Blue LED with 148CFM each set to pull.

i read somewhere that you shouldnt have different fans at different static pressures and the same rad because it'll cause problems with airflow and therefore increased temps...

can anyone verify this?

Well at least if you need the cooling power you know you're covered:lol:
