Are these case fans any good and in which RPM should i keep them for low noise?

Hey, here's my build: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/outlaw96/saved/H8gZxr
So as the title asks: Are these case fans good for high airflow and what rpm should i run them for low noise? The 120mm's are for the h100i's radiator. I would like to control them so would i just plug them to the motherboard? If i would plug them to the motherboard would there be enough connectors for the case fans, can i control them when they are plugged in the motherboard to make them quiet?

you plug them in via a pwm splitter provided by Corsair which goes into the CPU block of the H100i.

All these Noctua fans aren't really worth the $130..
You can get packs of Corsairs SP120 and AF140 for $30 a pack (2 pcs.)

At 7V the fans are basically all the same noise level. full 12v - no matter what fan, it's going to be loud.
Around 1000 - 1400 RPM should suffice for silence and cooling performance.

The fans are high quality and should be pretty quiet especially being controlled by your mobo. The sabertooth mark 2 has a great built in fan controller so you can set when the fans should go all out, and when they should stay quiet using the usage and it will control the fans for you. The mobo has 6 4-pin fan headers I believe so you will have plenty of connectors for the case fans. It also has a ton of thermal sensors built in so it will handle all of your fan speeds no problem.

Those are great fans and all, but the price is pretty ridiculous for them. You can find cheaper fans that would still keep the PC quiet with good airflow. They are ideal for the radiator but at least for the case fans you can go for cheaper ones. I'd suggest 4-pin pwm fans so the MOBO can easily control the case fans without using voltage to do so.

http://pcpartpicker.com/user/outlaw96/saved/H8gZxr i decided to go with air cooling and since noctua's nh-d15 and nh-d14 look horrible i decided to go with be quiet dark rock pro 3. Do you think it's good? Also because i decided to use the be quiet cpu cooler do i have to buy something additional so i can plug them all into the motherboard and control them or put them as 7v? Which do you prefer, 12 v with low rpm or 7v? Also i really want good airflow so is corsairs sp 120 enough? Is there difference between corsair sp120 and the corsair sp120 led ones? Because if i get the led it would look even better with the led strip.

If you don't go over 6 fans you will have enough headers. 2 of them on the mark 2 are meant to be for the cpu fans for the cooler. I think the led ones lose out on the rubber pads in the corner but other than that are the same as far as i know. Dark rock doesn't seem bad, another suggestion for a cooler would be this phanteks cooler http://pcpartpicker.com/part/phanteks-cpu-cooler-phtc14perd

it comes in a few colors, and is just about as good as the noctua d-14, you will need low-profile ram and a case it can fit in.

a fan suggestion if you like the leds. comes in other colors. Not great for a heatsink because of their static pressure but i think they would be great for a case fan (up to 92 cfm)
