Keep stock fans or get Gentle Typhoons for H100i

[skyline4727]

I currently have an i5-4670k at 4.5 Ghz being cooled with an H100i but I want to upgrade to a 5930k at 4.5 Ghz. My current build gets kind of hot, hitting 90C on Prime95 so I think I need to check the mounting since it looks kind of loose. Since I'm going to take it off for a new build, I was thinking of replacing the fans with Gentle Typhoons AP-15. My main reason for doing this is noise. When I wake the computer from sleep, the fans spin up to 100% for about 10 seconds and they are really loud. Would it be worth it to swap these out with two GT AP-15s for noise and slightly better cooling or should I save $40 and keep the stock corsair ones?

I think whether it's "worth it" is up to you.

Other:
1) Prime95 is a stress-test that doesn't reflect real-world usage. You're still below the max temp the CPU can handle so that's not a big deal.

2) If you're upgrading to an i7-5930K then:
a) You're going to have a different scenario so no point in changing your cooler setup now if you don't know how it will change, and

b) Unless you VIDEO EDIT or similar there's not much benefit to upgrading the CPU. For gaming it's definitely a waste of money.

3) Spins up for 10 seconds:
Then all your variable fans will ALSO spin up, so not sure what you expect to accomplish with different fans? The best way to reduce spin-up noise is to have fans with much lower maximum RPM (but also sufficient profile for your cooling scenario).

4) *linked fans:
Those are case fans, not radiator fans. You should do some research on the difference. Fans optimized for a radiator don't make nearly as much noise for the same amount of cooling.

Also, those are 3-pin, voltage-controlled fans not PWM.

They also spin at 1850RPM, 28dB so I'm not sure how "silent" they would be.

FYI, it's been suggested that you should not exceed 72degC for Tcase, or 77degC for any of the four cores.

The CPU won't throttle until 100degC but by then Tcase is 95degC. The max spec is listed at 72degC. I'm trying to find out why Intel isn't throttling based on Tcase since it does for mobile CPU's.
