never if your temps dont go up , otherwise everytime I take a block off for any reason.. Ive heard of people doing it every six months and if that works for them , I just go by the "if it isnt broken dont fix it " motto.

I've been a part of a couple of beta testing of coolers so that's several applications used. And then I'm always building PC for other people. Some times I tend to swap coolers between my pc's for whatever reason.

well watch how you say that , newbs ( not condescending, like new people ) , you can never OWN too much TIM , you can absolutely apply too much TIM , with most tims, less is more , which is weird because of how and how much corsair applies , everytime ( ok twice ) that I was installing a new unit I left it as is and it spews out the edges and stuff , you should really only need a dot in the middle slightly smaller than a pea ( some say a cooked grain of rice ) and it will spread just fine ... ( obviously trying to tell you how to do it ceadder , just making sure people doing it for the first time know)

Hi guys i was wondering if using these fans would hinder the performance of the h100 I just purchased? I am going to change the stock fans more for aesthetic reasons.

I currently have one of these http://www.frozencpu.com/products/8409/fan-526/Noiseblocker_NB-BlackSilentFan_XLP_120mmx25mm_Ultra_Quiet_PWM_Fan_-_1000-2000_RPM_-_14-31_dBA.html

Would two of these perform well? I already have one on my hyper 212+ and its really quiet, I was thinking using two with a pwm y cable on the h100 would work well?

it would work well enough , wouldnt be milestones better than the stock but if you like the look and sound ( stock corsairs arent the most quiet imo ) then go for it, an H100 isnt as touchy as a custom loop , if you get good airflow through that rad then it will do its job , if you want to get better temps either go with really good fans , use shrouds or push pull..

Well I don't have the h100 but doesn't the little controller on the cpu block directly change the fan speed or is that for the pump? I was hoping to just use two Noiseblocker XLPs because they can be used as PWM and are pretty quiet for my use. IF i wanted to achieve better temps I would probably throw the stock corsairs on top of the rad where I can't see them. I have a nice lighting plan soon though so i dont want those fans showing lol.

the controller on the block is for the fans , you dont really have to use it though if you want to control the fans using the motherboard instead ,but your fans will work with the corsair controller anyways so do what you want
