so im not sure if i did my fan set up but here it is

[pairenoid]

haf 912 with the stock fans
plus
an additional front 120 mm intake plugged into psu (sounds fast and working)
a side 140mm intake which is plugged into the psu and feels very weak
a top 200 mm exhaust which is incrediably weak and plugged into the psu
i was wondering why it sounds so much louder if they are so weak

they are
Cooler Master R4 Series Silent 140mm LED Case Fan R4-L4S-10AB-GP (Blue)
Cooler Master R4-LUS-07AB-GP MegaFlow 200mm LED Case Fan (Blue) Cooler
Cooler Master Computer Case Cooling R4-L2R-20AC-GP

should i take any of them and plug them into mobo INSTEAD of psu? im silghtly surprised by the amount of sound they produce since they were revered in reviews to be silent yet powerful :/


edit: so while its obnoxiously louder than i anticipated, it is def working
30 min in swotr and 30 min in skyrim my cpu load didnt pass 48 (from 50-60) and gpu didnt pass 64 (was always 70 most of the time)

feels like each fan reduces temps by 1-2

The loudness is prolly where it is a large fan.. and maybe the screws isnt tightened all the way?? Just a suggestion.. and THe only good thing about plugging in to ya mobo is alittle more control of the speed. unless you have a fan controller. But just play around with them and do it HOW ever you like the sound/performance ratio.. Me personally i dont care how loud it is.. as long as they work and cool good
