My current fan is a little bit loud for my tastes at high RPM, but my ultimate goal is to make my PC as quiet as possible at idle.
Although quiet at idle, the fan on my current heatsink that came with the EVGA Superclock CPU Cooler is the loudest component in my build (don't pay attention to the case in my signature, I have since changed cases, but have not had the chance to make updates).
Basically here is what I am looking for, but I cannot find anything that completely fits my personal specifications and would appreciate advice:
1) Quiet, most importantly during idle.
2) PWM
3) Minimum RPM must be 500-700 so that noise is inaudible at idle
4) Max RPM should be >1500 RPM. Ideally, I am hoping for 2000 RPM. (The current fan ranges from ~600-2500 RPM). Obviously the fan will be much louder at these speeds, but that's expected and acceptable.
5) The EVGA Superclock CPU cooler uses clips to attach the fan, so hopefully the new fan I am looking for will be compatible with this design.
It's very possible that what I am asking for does not exist... if this is the case, then I would be happy to obtain recommendations/advice. My number one priority (over performance) is silence at idle and quietude (to the extent possible) at high RPMs.
One other note, no Noctua fans; their aesthetics will not fit my build.
Thanks so much
