going in the front of an h440
give me the quietest fans you have within a decent price range

black color preferred, h440 is blue in color if there is accent color on the fan
performance not a huge deal but something well balanced is nice

cbf to look around

15-20 a fan but cheaper is nice too
10$/fan for a decent product is a+

:thumbsup:

What CPU cooler do you have and what GPU cooler?
Doubt the front fans add a lot of noise to your system.

Just get a fan controller, Put fans to like 50% speed.

I'd rather have high CFM / loud fans @ 50% & have the option of turning them up, Than get slow, Low CFM fans that are quiet @ 100% speed.

wat

A power cable is too many cables to run? :/



Grid+ works well too, Just plug it into power & USB. Then the fans plug directly into it, Lets you control/monitor everything through software.

Yeah I know it's the original fans. I got the h110i gt as well. On quit settings it's the highest noise. I tried turning the fnv2 off. And it sure didn't make the system quieter. 21db in such a nice padded case is nothing. Btw try your h110I on 40% fan instead of quite.
