For over a year now I have hardly used my PC as when it gets hot, it sounds like a jet engine. I have spent ages playing with the settings in the iCUE app and its clear I cant push the machine without needing the fans. Does anyone know if this is normal? The spec is
Can anyone answer if I would be better off swapping out the fans or switching to a block style cooler.
I'm torn between the changing the radiator fans to SILENT WINGS PRO 4 120mm PWM fans
or just swapping the whole lot out for something like the Noctua NH-15DS which seems to be about the best that will fit on that motherboard.
Can anyone with any experience help?
Thanks
