are these noisy like the ones that come with the H100i ?

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.

I'm not sure if they're still packaged with them, but they should have down voltage adapters that drop them down from 12v to I think 7v, a more tolerable speed if you are powering these through a 12v plug.

I have the 110, however I was wanting the features of the H100I which I thought was incorporated with the H110 but it is all mechanical. No software to control anything. The H110 is a great unit, however you will need to purchase an additional (2) 140mm fans and install them instead of the stock fans due to the Corsair fans are very loud. I used these fans: Cooler Master Sleeve Bearing 140mm Silent Fan for Computer Cases and Radiators

H100i for overclocking and estending use, however any aftermarket would be fine - I personally use a noctua cooler, however I rarely use my computer so extended use with it may be detrimental

There hasn't been any noise issue with the one I purchased. Everything has been great so far.

I have 4 of these on a H100i and haven't had any problems. You should return it and get a replacement. There is always a chance that a part will be defective. It is just how lucky you are. Corsair is still the way to go. These fans rock. Or the CoolerMaster JetFlo

Def not. I have two of these, and neither of them make any type of rattling sound.

I have no issues with fan noise. The cooler is top notch. Iv never seen the fans go above 60% and I have two in crossfire. A lot will also depend on the air flow of your case.

Yes, however you can not go below 1800 RPM. When you use corsair link on balanced mode, it is around 2000 which is super loud. Quiet mode only goes down to 1800, which is also very loud. You can use the speed reducers, however those only go up to 1600, but it can be quieter. Just go buy the PWM edition for h100i.

They are really quiet, i have a FX-8350 and its a lot of difference with the stock cooler, the stock cooler was a few annoying, but now i can forget that noise at all.

they are fairly loud. they drown out a lot of the engine noise on my 62 falcon if i'm standing next to it while running. i have 2 installed, louder than an average electric fan. i also have mine mounted in front as pusher fans, that may make a big difference

You're asking two questions Dimitri. They will move more air than your stock H80 fans, but if you run them at full speed all the time, which is recommended, then quiet is not going to happen. They are not loud, but you know they are on all the time. These took 6C off the stock fans on my H60, so they definitely made a difference. I am more concerned about having my 8350 CPU being cool. I can live with the hum of the fans.

They are very quiet, turbine sy=tyle impellers and a well designed housing. vertical /horizontal mounting options, etc.... I am running four of them, and the "whistle" and "air noise" is louder than units themselves..... Good stuff.. the person who answered with a #7, must have a poor mount or something, they are very quit.Frantic1

YES if you want a much quieter system and these fans are much better than the stock h100i fans

I do have these on my top of case exhaust. They do make noise at a higher rpm (Not a bother.) I control this with a fan controller. When I need them at higher speed, they are turned up. I turn them down and they are quiet. I have had them for 2 years now and they still work well.

You are pretty accurate, I love these fans because they move LOTS of air and I have been running it 24/7 for four months now with no problems. The negatives, they are loud and as you said there is not a significant difference between speeds; there IS a difference, but not from a quiet whisper to full throttle.

I have yet to experience any coil whine. The fan can be very loud when I'm pushing the CPU (I sometimes have After Effects, Premiere, Photoshop, and Illustrator all running at the same time) but it's fairly quite in normal use.

Not too much. They are audible, by no means silent, however it's not like a plug in fan. Ill also note, my case cracked along the bottom, and the only times it's been moved were placing the pc on its side to work on it. Just saying.
