Depends at what rpm and which SS. At higher rpm, I think they are just as loud as the Blademaster, while much quieter at low rpms.

The way I see it is, if you ever plan on getting nice fans for a 212+, I wouldn't have gotten a 212+ in the first place. I had overzealous friends who recommended the 212+ to me and I gave it a tried and was soon very disappointed how loud the stock fan was. I immediately got a NH-D14 and swap out those fans too for what I have now.

212+ is only good if you never plan to swap out fans, only add and extra. Even then, only good for the price. Other HSFs have invaded this price point with slightly better performance too.

Exhaust. When I had the 2 top fans intaking with it... the temps kept climbing. My theory was that the same warm air was getting recirculated through the radiator again. So I flipped them back over to exhaust and saw better temps.

Unless the 212+ is on sale for $20-25 which it's often is.

I believe I got mine for $10 AR about a year ago, so that was my reasoning. I'm not so much concerned with the sound of air being moved as I am with the motor ramping up and down noisily while I'm doing something as simple as browsing the web; something I didn't notice until I swapped out my psu a few days ago. Rather than spend another $50+ on a new cooler, I thought I'd just go in search of a fan that would be similar in performance but not make the whining/moan of ramping up and down. That said, I did some browsing and am still totally confused by the massive selection of fans. Also, I do have fan controller that has a pwm connection that I use for the case fans, but I currently just plug the 212+ fan into the CPU header and the controller into the board header.

Ever tried Speedfan? You can set fan speeds based on temps. Say your cpu is relatively cool (under 45C) when browsing, you set the speed to run at 30% by default, once its past 45C, the fan speeds up. And you can customize the temp vs rpm curve too! That should pretty much solve most of your problem. If you still find it loud, then you obviously need a new fan.

I had used that when I first bought my PC, but I only thought to use the UEFI BIOS profiles. I'll give it a shot and let you know how it goes! (rep+)

EDIT: I had this same problem when I used speedfan in the past: it reads my cpu temp as -60 C. Any way around this?

Yeah there will be some rearranging going someday soon. Right now I have the Kuhler 620 that is cooling the GPU as intake inside the drive bays. I had thought about putting that on the floor, and move the H60 to the drive bays.

But then I just got a word that I'll be having a 240 radiator and a res on the way. So there's a chance I may be going full customed anyways.

Leaving it as it is for right now. The CPU isn't doing much anyways. I'm folding on the GPU for Team Competitions and so that needs all the cool air it can get.

I'll be using my 212+ again soon. I'm planning a build for family PC so I can move my gaming/folding rig downstairs in my man cave.

Does every temp have the same offset error? You can use real temp or whatever other program to check for the real temps. As long as the error is consistent and linear, it isn't too bad. All you have to do is run something that will increase the temp a bit (like a light game), and set up your fans for that temp.

Another solution is use the newest version of Speed fan or possibly update your BIOS. I've noticed that a lot of people get temp errors with Speedfan, even I do, but not useful temps I normally monitor.

Last solution might be to use FanXpert as it is similar to Speedfan. I think Speedfans just has a few extra features which were a big plus to me.

Hope this fixes it.

At ~800 RPM this fan is still noisy. I dusted the inside of my PC today and I swear the fan got even nosier (motor). I think I'm left with two options; find a suitable, silent replacement fan(s) or just buy a new cooler (not a 212+). This cooler served me well for the year in which the psu in my PC was by far the noisiest part, but now that I've gone relatively silent, it's time for a change. I guess my question is, are there any suitable fan models (specific) that are very silent but could still cool this as well as the stock blademaster fan?

So here is the big dilemma... Well, are you content with the amount of cooling the 212+ has to offer? If not, then get a new cooler.
