Why is my Corsair SP120 RGB so loud?

[jeppefrostnielsen]

I don't know if it is normal or anything, but my sp120 doesn't go under 1200 rpm, and it's pretty ----------- annoying.
I don't know if I can change it or not.

There loud as they are the high performance versions, for a quiet system you want fans under 20 dbA.

This would of been a better option.

If you bought the SP 120 RGB pack they include a fan controller which affects the fan speed.
