Question Looking for good/quiet ARGB fan recommendations to replace front stock fans on Cooler Master Masterbox TD500 Mesh V1

[Sean16]

Hi there.

I have a Cooler Master Masterbox TD500 Mesh V1 and was looking for fan recommendations to replace the 3 pre-installed Cooler Master stock fans. The pre-installed fans are DC fans, have no rubber padding and can get quite loud when playing more demanding games.

I have 3 Corsair AF120 Elites on my radiator, mounted to the top of my case, and another AF120 at the rear. I tried replacing the front fans with RGB AF120s so that all my fans were the same make but wasn't too keen on having to use a controller which didn't communicate very well with the fan software that I use.

I'm looking for fans that are compatible with Aura Addressable Gen 2 headers, which the stock fans utilise. The AF120s are not addressable. My mobo is an ASUS Rog Strix B550-F.

I've been looking at Cooler Master Mobius 120Ps and Arctic P12s as potential replacements, but honestly I have no idea what to go for and I'm open to other suggestions. Noise is a concern of mine so the quieter the better but I'm also looking for fans that are good at cooling and will last long.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Your motherboard has 1x Addressable RGB Gen 2 header, while the max number of ARGB devices off that one header can be 5 courtesy of this splitter. You could pick up this hub and then add more than 5 fans to the build.

Not too bothered with more RGB, at least at the moment.
