Noiseblocker purchase

[Smoked Brisket]

Recently completed second water cooled build. I was unhappy with the performance of my xspc rx rads(360 and a 120 cooling the cpu and single gpu, cpu hit 72 under stress, no overclock) so I ordered 2 white nemesis gtx rads to replace(360 and 240.) I am going with a white theme and really like the look of these

Noiseblocker NB-eLoop B12-3 120mm x 25mm Ultra Silent Bionic Blade Fan - 1900 RPM - 26.5 dBA by Blacknoise (Black color)

Does anyone have experience with them? Are they really quiet and do they have solid performance. I will be purchasing twelve.

1900 RPM is going to be anything but quiet. The noise of air moving alone will make significant noise. On the other hand, the motor itself is likely very quiet. Performance is probably on par with other fans. Very few fans have significantly better performance on radiators. Gentle Typhoons are the ones that stand out from the crowd.

You will definitely need some sort of fan controller if silence is your goal.

What is your CPU? Those radiators you currently should be more than sufficient to keep your system cool. Watercooling generally doesn't do much for the CPU. If you're getting that poor of temps, it is likely due to poor contact between your CPU and CPU block.

CPU is skylake 6700k, motherboard is gigabyte z170 gaming 7, cpu clock is ek supremacy evo gold, thermal paste is hydronaut. Current fans are xspc xinrulian 1650's in push/pull(not exactly quiet, but better than the yate loons i had before.) This time when I applied the paste I went old school and spread it with a credit card rather than using the pea drop and leave it method. Block is definitely screwed all the way down and I did the cross pattern when I placed it. I will remove and reapply it when I place the new rads. D5 swiftec pump is set to 4 and pretty loud. I dont mind wooshing as much as long as there is no motor noise, as you stated. I do have a fan controller(using one for the first time)it is the lamptron touch screen one.

My loop is set up as follows: pump-360 rad-cpu-120rad-gpu-back to pump. It seemed logical to me to have rads cooling water before each component. Is there a glaring mistake in my loop order? thanks for the response.

 

[Tsumi]

Loop order does not matter unless you have very low flow rates, which you shouldn't have with your d5.

There may be a possibility, that skylake has the same issues as ivy bridge had with ihs. Haven't read that much, but it seems they run quite hot ( 6700K delid before and after results ). It seems delidding helped this particular person drop the temperatures by more than 20 °C. So, it's not your fans or radiators, it's intel's craptastick thermal solution

i have eloops on the swiftech prestige that i purchased.. They are noisy fans in comparison to other fans that spin around the same rpm. I had the EKWB predator 360 and the varder fans spin faster and less noisy then the eloops at the same RPM.
They are noisier then some phanteks fans that i have on my main rig at the same rpm as well.

Eloops are ok fans.. but very noisy at comparable RPMs, so beware. I'm taking the 6 out of my 2 swiftech prestige x320 systems soon for something quieter.

Haven't used e-loops, but have had plenty of Multiframes and couldn't recommend them enough. Performed on par with my gentle typhoons and much quieter.

the multiframes i had were awesome, asides from them dying on me after a few years. The e-loops however left me a bad taste in my mouth. I have 6 of them due to having 2 of the swiftech x320 prestige all in one water coolers.

Thanks for all the responses. What I gathered here was that the eloops were not as silent as advertised, in fact silence depends on rpms above all no matter what the brand. I trust this site and also did my due diligence and read and watched video reviews of the eloops. They got good reviews. If there would have been a response in this thread that said avoid them, I would have. I am not overclocking, I wanted the best fan that would compliment my white themed build and so I got 12 of the eloops and the white rads. I will post the pics on the watercooling pic thread.

Thx for the responses.

i'm replacing my eloops with phanteks which have the white fan blade on black frame. Hope they work out well for you. I'm running the all black versions of the phanteks on my main setup with 12 radiator fans, and it has been silent and awesome!.
