Hello, I received my pc from PCspecialist in October last year, and the stock fans on my pc are notoriously loud even on idle and just browsing the internet/on YouTube. I think it's because they are just the stock case fans that came with the NZXT H511 case. I would like to buy some new fans but not sure which ones to go for, I'm not looking for RGB, just good performance, silent running ones, I've heard Noctua are good. I have two front fans, and two rear. Recommendations are welcome.

Thank you

For silent and non-rgb... Noctua are your fans, they do some black ones (if like me, you don’t like the brown ones).

Can't go wrong with Noctua - I bought some Noctua y-spliiter cables a little while ago and the way they were packaged would tell you all you need to know about Noctua quality - totally over the top! I'm surprised a courier in a top hat didn't roll out a red carpet on my driveway to bring them to my door.

The NZXT H511 case fans are a slightly different version from the regular Aer F fans that NZXT do. I think they have cheaper bearings than the retail fan versions - and I assume that might be the noise you are hearing.

I assume you can control the speed of your existing fans in question? - i.e. It isn't just that they are running full speed the whole time?
