Is it OK to disable fans at low temperatures?

I have recently bought 2 AF140s as front intake, 1 AF120 as a rear exhaust and 2 AF120s as top exhausts.

In the BIOS settings of my motherboard the minimum RPM percentage I can have the case fans running at is 60%. Even though the AFs are quiet I still think they're a little too loud at idle.

I've found a setting in the BIOS to turn the fans off at idle/low temperatures. Is this OK? Or will heat build up in the case?

From what your saying about your BIOS, if you use that feature, your fans should come on when your pc starts getting hot

heat will barely build up in the case
i have two intake fans and 3 exhaust and one of them is used for my 120mm liquid cooler radiator, when at idle i turn every fan off except for the radiator fan which i leave running and 800 rpm (max is 1200rpm) and my case stays at about room temperature ( with hot Australian room tempratures)
but you will definitely be fine if you turn all of the fans off

The best solution in theory is having PWM-controlled fans, so they can eg. run at 30% constantly instead of running at 60% for a while then shutting off for a while and then going back to 60% when the temperature climbs (hysteresis is also a problem there, because having fans shifting back and forth between 0% and 60% too often could get annoying).

OK thanks for the advice! My PC will be near silent with the case fans turned off!
