Hello guys, i recently upgraded from an i7 4790K DDR3 setup to a i5 10600K DDR4 setup to be precise here is the exact PC right now :
Playing at 1080p 144Hz mainly competitive FPS games and ARPGs
The goal of this upgrade was to get 144FPS in the next Battlefield game at 1080p
CPU Boost is set to Auto (default setting)
XMP enabled
My fans setup is :
My main problem is not about the temps but the amount of fans usage i need to get theses temps, with my old setup i almost never heard my PC when playing games, but with this setup while playing games like BFV my computer is pretty loud and it's a tad bit annoying because i really hate noise.
My question are :
Should my NH U12S be enough to cool this CPU down at light/medium loads without needing the fans at over 65% usage ? (am i doing something wrong basically)
Should i have gone for the non-K version ? or the 11400f ?
I know that my case is kinda garbage at air flow so i removed the front part to allow the fans to get more air in but is the case a big drawback in the overall temps ?
If i were to buy an AIO like a beQuiet 280mm Pure Loop 280 would it make my fans spin less ? goal would probably be around 50/60% usage tops
Any help is very much appreciated ! Thanks

My fans setup is :
- 2 Silent wings 3 140mm intake front (Fan curve for the 3 140mm)
- 1 Silent wing 140mm intake top
- 1 Noctua NF F12 exhaust rear (Fan curve)
- CPU cooler = Noctua NH U12S with one NF F12 (Fan curve)
- (I know my fan curves are pretty passives but i really really hate noise)
- Cinebench : 80°c average / 85°c max
- OCCT CPU Data set large : 72°c average / 75°c max
- Prime95 blend : 72°c average / 75°c max
- Prime95 small FFTs : over 95°c, manually stopped after 20 seconds
- Idle temps in the 40°s with jumps to 50°s and sometimes to the early 70°c (img)
- Light usage 20-40% CPU : 60°c | 65°c with fans at ~65%
- Medium to high usage 60-70% : 65°c | 70°c with fans at ~80%
