Aurora R11, CPU fan upgrades
Hello, so I have a R11 with "Low Profile Smart Cooling CPU Heatsink" (looking back i know I should've gotten liquid cooling) and I was wondering what were the options available to upgrade the CPU fan. I'm planning on changing my front and top fan with the Noctua NF-A12x25, but I don't know how much noise-reducing it'll do, since the problem seems to be the cpu fan.
I appreciate any help, thank you!

It will do a lot of noise reduction. You will enjoy the new case fans.
The CPU fan might also be loud, but I have not seen any threads from others who have replaced it since most seem to have opted for the liquid cooling option.
There's very little room between the heat sink and the power supply contraption that is folded over that area, so your options will be limited if there are any at all.
