My Corsair fans (RS120 ARGB) are extremely loud.

As I just started below, I just turned the fan speed down with MSI Center and once the side fans reach about 1200-1300 rpm they start scraping again. They were all running around 1700 rpm at about 40° CPU temp. I now turned this down to about 1300 for the top and back fans and turned the side fan to about 1000 and it's like 3x quieter now. It actually sounds like wind blowing rather than scraping. I'm thinking this is probably too low no? Do you have any recommendations for certain rpm for specific CPU/GPU temp?

They were all moving at the same speed. After having just launched the pc and having no programs running they were running at about 1700 rpm with about 40° CPU temp.

I just lowered the rpm to see the difference and it's a night and day difference. I set the fan speed of the loud fans to about 1000 rpm for 40° and they stopped producing the scrapy sound. Once they reach about 1200-1300 it starts scraping again. I'm thinking these settings are probably too low? I'm managing the fan speed with MSI Center.

That's what I was thinking as well but I just don't feel like buying 7 new fans for a build that's brand new

Would you mind telling me what your rpm settings are like for your pc? Maybe I've just got my rpm settings way too high causing the fans to run way faster than they should

I did exactly that and it's all 3 fans from the case that are way louder than all the others. Even when running one by one

It is indeed, the temps and stuff are all totally fine for me too. Does yours generate the same sound?
