Will these do better than stock 120s on H80i gt? i want quieter fans but good performance to keep my 8350 cool

I agree with Shane K Chavda's answer. The obvious differences between the stock H80i's fans and these fans is that these have rubber-like insulators at the screw mounting points and of course the included accent color rings. Spec-wize I believe they are close if not the same as the stock ones, I replaced my stock fans because one was defective (had a horrific buzzing noise at all RPMs).As Shane K Chavda pointed out, these fans are loud at their max speed and very quiet down in their lower speeds, I set up a custom fan speed curve in the Corsair Link software and let it manage the fan speed vs radiator temp in the background.

They have great static pressure. If you run at full speed without some kind of controller they won't be quiet. But when controlled they can be very quiet. My idle speed is about 900-1000 rpm and I can't hear them. And I have 4 of them in push/pull on a 280mm rad. I don't have an h80i so I can't comment on those. But at idle my 8350 OC to 4.7 is at 30c. Load Temps about 50.

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.

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

120mm fans work, you can try the antec tricool 120mm fans. There are plain ones and ones with different color leds. Hope thus helps.

Fractal Design makes some pretty good stock fans. I'm using the ones included in my rig, if that helps. I also have a Fractal Design Arc XL that I use Fractal's fans with.

I'm using the stock fan with an i7-4770. No heat problems, and it's pretty quiet.

For reference I have a core i7-950 @ 4.0 GHz and my H70 keeps it at 70C running LinX. You temps seem a bit high. I would add another fan for a push/pull set-up. This will help a lot! Just note that the stock fans are not up to the task. I'm running Scythe Gentle Typhoon AP-29s. The deal is that the fin density on both the H70 and the H50 is fairly high (24 fins per inch) so fans with high static pressure are a must. The very least I would use are Gentle Typhoon AP-15s. These fans are MUCH quieter than stock and cool better at the same time.

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.

The heat sink and fan that comes with the processor will keep the it cool. However, it is noisy. I put an FX-8350 in a Silver Stone HTPC LC10-E case. I used a Cooler Master GeminII S524 cooler and heat sink. Very quiet.

They're not bad. I definitely got better temps out of my old antec 900 though.

This one is better than the 212 evo but it is depend on the power supply that you have to support for the liquid cooler the H75 have 2 fan so it cool down your cpu faster. That is my opinion.

All depends what your running in it. Also the avg temp of the air in your space. I haven't installed any extra fans aside from the H100 I use to cool my cpu. So for a basic build you should be fine.

The included fan is a 3-pin. And it is quite loud. I replaced it with a 4-pin pwm (with equivalent size and air flow) from Cooler Master. It is much quiter, but this cooler only performs OK for the amount of money I spent in total. Luckily that build will not be overclocked, and I can be happy with the definite improvement over the stock part. It will cool your fx-8350 according to the specs on the box, but I would not use this on a high performance CPU like yours over something like the CM Hyper 212 unless your case cannot fit a tall heatsink.

I'd go with the 8350 for sure, it's at a great price right now and is pretty good for gaming and over clocks like crazy, just needs a quality cooler.

Sadly this model only comes with one stock fan, but it does come with an additional fan bracket to easily add another 120mm fan. It should work quite well with the FX-8350.

I currently have no extra fan at this location and am using a single EVGA 660ti video card. I would highly recommend a quiet 120 mm installed here if you are running a SLI Graphics system or you are experiencing hi temps during game play.

they are loud but if you dont mind the noise they keep the card cool. but these cards are meant to be water cooled. they perform very very well. much better then after market cards. i love my xfx r9 290.

They're pretty quiet. If you connect them to the motherboard you can lower the fan speeds in the BIOS. Otherwise they include an adapter that connects thee fans to a molex connector which is quiet.
