H110 | Change Fans? | SP140

[DutchMike]

Howdy great peeps,

Getting the H110 this Saturday.

Should I replace the fans with these?

(All fans in the PC are entirely red & I am using 2 GTX 970s from MSI)

The stock fans are apparently better in pressure & CFM.
However, it does make a loud noise as far as I could gather..
(Do intend to keep it running at 100%, always)

So yeah.. should I replace them with the SP140s?

Much greetings,
Mike

What rpm are the fans running at? Maybe they're just running too fast. Usually its the pump that's noisy.

Get your fans at under 1000rpm.

the stock fans are ear bleeding loud. its hard to appreciate how loud they are unless you walk away from your pc and find your ears ringing like you were in a concert (ok, maybe not quite that bad but it's pretty bad)

As I said, "Getting the H110 this Saturday" 😛

Howdy,
Yeah that is one of the reasons I am asking.

I run a similar system with an OC on the i7-4690K up to 4650Mhz (turbo) - the H75 doesn't get off idle.

maybe rather than get the H110, get the H105 instead - already has SP fans

EDIT: Idle CPU temp is 36degC - considering the average indoor temp here is around 25-30degC here at the moment - that aint bad for the lil H75!

Howdy,
Already ordered the H110 & a pair of red LEDs SP140s

should be sweet!

you should grab an SSD for that build mate, will speed things up nicely! SanDisk Extreme II is still one of the best and you can grab a 120GB for under $100

Have you seen and heard an installed H110? I'd try it before buying replacement fans.

I have a Samsung 850 PRO 256GB now

As I said 😛
I already ordered them, and from all videos I could find, it is indeed ear deafening.

Dunno if you have any experience installing these coolers, (so just ignore the below if you do) but I know the instructions that come with it can be vague. The only really important thing is that the Pump Header connects to a Fan Header on the MOBO and the Fans on the radiator connect to the CPU header. If you have a PWM system, you need to tell it to set the pump on the Fan header to 100% in every profile.

It will also tell you to install them as a Pull (outside air in), I typically make any air going through a radiator exhaust to avoid clogging them with dust - The only time I had them pulling was with an extreme overclock build I did where an extra 5degC was needed.

Have fun!

Yep already used several water coolers now 😛
The H100i was a pain to install, the backplate was horrible..
Also do it always on top as exhaust

Thanks!
