This past December I walked everyone through a few small mods that I did to our Cosmos S to help it stand out. The window and lighting really made the case look amazing. I did have some issues with the fans with vibration and overall noise. Infact it got so bad that I had to unplug most of them. Because of that I was on the market for replacement fans. I have reviewed a few fans in the past so my decision was hard, adding to that was the problem of my favorite fans running $20+. When you’re looking at 5 or 6 fans that adds up quickly. In the end, I decided to go with Noctua fans considering the amazing performance of them in the past. After working out a deal with Noctua, the next thing I know I had a box full of fans on my doorstep. Will they be an improvement?

Just seeing a pile of Noctua fans was impressive to me
I replaced the HD cage fan
Installed an extra fan on the bottom of the case
With the Noctua heatsink also it all matches
After getting it all installed I noticed as soon as I started up the computer that they were a great improvement over the Blue LED fans they replaced. The vibration and rattle were gone and the fans themselves make much less noise. Cooling wasn’t really effected with the replacement fans as the Antec fans did push a lot of air, they just sacrificed noise for it. That’s it for now, just a small update. Keep an eye out in the future for more.
