Pokemon Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I would like to know if i can replace the corsair fans with 2x140mm noctua industrial fans to the cooler without frying it.The power consumption of the noctua industrial fans are 6,6W 0,55A each.

c-attack Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Technically, the H110 GTX should be able to handle it with a 2A max on the controller. However, I would recommend you really look at what you are getting into with a 3000 rpm fan. I don't know anyone who can tolerate 140mm speeds above 2000 and you are also going to have a minimum run speed of 800-900 rpm on low end. Those fans will be noticeable at 800 rpm when you are at the desktop. Industrial means exactly that. They are not meant to be quiet. If you are into sport overclocking and have no intention of using them on a daily basis, then that is another matter. If not, the 2000 rpm PWM version will more than cover your needs and you likely still won't use all of it's RPM band. You also will have the option of turning it down to 400-500 for normal use.

Pokemon Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 I dont mind about the noise,but i dont want a vacuum cleaner either in the case :) I didnt saw exactly how loud they are,but i guess they will run around 1000 rpm like the standard corsair fans(i have them at default and the noise is very acceptable),and at 1000 rpm i dont think they are much louder than the stock ones. I'm not a hardcore overclocker,i just wanted to change the stock fans,couse they have a buzzinng sound and wanted to find the best solution.I will test 2x140mm 3000rpm pwm fans,worse case scenario,i will reduce their rpm. Is any difference between the 2000 rpm and the 3000 rpm one if i reduce the rpm on the second one to minimal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-attack Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 3000 rpm is just plain loud, no matter what fan is doing it. Remember, the H110 GT (and most motherboards) will do 100% fan test on start up. It's only for a few seconds, but the last time I had a 3000 rpm fan on a rig, the start up could be heard from almost everywhere in the house. As for the fan itself, I wouldn't describe it's normal operation as loud, but there is a noticeable hum than can be heard at most speeds. If you google around for a video test of any of Industrial line fans, you should be able to hear it. Your case and where it you put in relation to your desk will have a large impact on whether it makes any difference for use, by mine is audible at 4ft in a direct line. The 2000 rpm PWM model will go as low as 450-500. It's hard for me to imagine you need more than this model's 2000 rpm. My CPU draws nearly twice the wattage of your 6700k and I am overclocked pretty much to the top of normal limits. I don't even need the 2000. My 1600 test runs are pretty much the same as my 1200 runs on that fan. Airflow is not the limiting factor. Since there are some consequences to using the 3000 rpm model, you'll need to decide what you can live with --- or order from someone who does friendly exchanges.

Pokemon Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 Thank you so much for the help,i think i will go with the 2000 rpm ones,especially that i want 6 fans in it.My case and components are quite cool even with the standard fans,so it would be good.Thank you again.I will get 3x120mm ones for the front,2x140mm for the corsair cooler and another 140mm for the back exhaust.

c-attack Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Industrial all the way around? It will certainly move enough air and will do the do the job, but you should be able to move the same amount of air with a steeper blade and"airflow" designed fan at a significantly lower RPM. For comparison, look at the S12A vs NF-12i. It's about the same airflow, but at 800 rpm less. The sound pressure difference is startling. Based on my experience with the 540, I am worried NF-12i x3 + A14ix3 is going to be very noticeable. The 540 just doesn't have that thick bank vault type of construction to reduce higher frequency sounds and most people have their 540's fairly close to the desk, if not on top of it. If you were looking for some visual symmetry, you can probably get away with one more A14i in the rear exhaust, but I would look at alternatives for the front 3x120.

Pokemon Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 Umm...all my components are black and red,thats why i would go with the industrial look.The 2000 rpm ones will be good for all 6 of them,sound is not bothering me,even if i have my case on top of the desk :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-attack Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 OK. Might want to throw one or two of these in then as well. 16 per pack. The included corners will be brown, naturally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokemon Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 i was thinking likewise,thoose will look sweet on them.16 are only good for 2 fans,if i put them on both sides.I will need 4 packs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With my 2000 RPM fans, my wife said she can hear the PC in the living room all the way from the kitchen..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it does add up. However, you can also just pop the brown ones off on the exposed side leaving the neutral black plastic and then use either red or black corners on the contact side. I have been doing that for some time. My hand-sprayed ones look a little amateurish by comparison, but can paint the brown if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokemon Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 I will figure out something.If the brown ones look nasty,i will get some red ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
