I've also done the CF card upgrade and everything is dead silent. When I did these upgrades (change of fans and CF card) 5-6 years ago I was happy with it.
But now I've started to think it may be too little cooling coming from the fans as they don't really move that much air.
I don't know which fans you have installed, but I checked the 50×50 and 80×80 fans from Fractal and they don't have a larger air flow than the ones from NoiseBlocker.
Maybe I'm overthinking this, but it would be interesting to hear if anyone have experienced any issues after installing these low-flow(but silent) fans?
