Will these fan make my fans on the HIGHEST speed? or med-low

It doesn't have a fan controller so if you plug it into a 4 pin molex they will run at highest speed but you can plug it into your motherboard or a fan controller and control the speed of the fans.

I would say medium..depends on the Rpm of your fan .I have 13 1650rpm fans in my caselabs case, its loud but not unbearable.

the fan just work under high performance (when a large amount of power is required).Don't worry about it..

These are the performance edition so they are loud if you just plug them in. If you use a fan controller, either external or through your motherboard, then they can be silent while still moving a good amount of air.

Low is pretty quiet but it gets louder on the faster settings. I use it mostly on low or medium and I get enough air flow to stop my "hot flashes". I have been using purse-sized fans for over 10 years and this type produces the most air flow for the size. There may be better ones but I haven't found them.

If you have them in a computer on the desktop next to you running at maximum speed, they would be a bit annoying. I have 6 fans in my computer but only 1 running at maximum speed and I don't even notice them unless I specifically listen.

that's exactly what I did on mine, mostly because i replaced everything in the case with these and wanted consistency. If the stock fans aren't loud then it might not be worth it. Doubt you'd see much of a difference in cooling performance.

3 different speeds. The low speed is faster than normal cheap box fans on high and the high speed really puts off some airflow.

Many manufacturers provide low quality stock fans to increase the little profit margins they make on cases. Noctua fans are hands down the best on the market. This fan does provide better cooling at lower RPM's and are very quite. I have ten of these installed on my PC video editing station and you'd be hard pressed to know the system was on when idle.

They are too loud for my taste at 12v. One by itself isn't too bad, but I have 11 fans on 3 radiators (Two 480s & one 360) and they are very loud. I had to get a fan controller to find the right balance between performance and noise. They do move a ton of air, but are very loud to me. I can't imagine how loud the non quiet edition ones are. I have tried so many fans over the years and a truly quiet fan that can still push enough air through a radiator just doesn't exist yet.

If your talking about the 4 pin molex connectors they attach to your power supply. A suggestion get rid of the stock fans they don't move very much air

It has three speeds and I've never had to use it on the highest one. And it's the quietest fan I've ever owned. Hope this helps.

The fan combo runs on a converter the has a 5v DC output. I'm sure you could run it higher or lower DC volts, but the advantage of 5v is that they run quietly. Running at higher volts would increase the speed, but would also increase the noise and you would have to come up with your own speed control.

I run in the low 60's if I have the card maxed out. I have these running in SLI. I have a high airflowcase also. You should set up a custom fan profile through MSI afterburner if you haven't already. Everything I see online seems to say that is a safe operating temp.

I would say they're comparable. I haven't detected a difference between the two fans.

I'm very satisfied with the fan. It's relatively quiet, good air flow and looks nice. It should do fine in a room of that size. You may have to run on the higher speed.

I have two of these but in the two rigs I have the 120 & 200mm fans I have in them prevents these fans from kicking in on high.

They are fairly universal. Maybe buy a really cheap fan that's about the same size.
