Are the stock fans on the corsair 500r bad? Would i get a significant decrease in temps if I switched out the stock 200m and the 3 120mm with 5 scythe karu maze 120s? I already have 2 installed

The stock Corsair fans are pretty decent and quiet. They get the job done so there's really no need to switch the fans unless you're really picky about it.

the fans that came with my my corsair 400R sucked, they made more noise at 1200RPM then any fan I owned other then some old cooler master ones. I replaced my front fans with antec tri-speed fans and installed enermax TB silence 120 & 140mm fans in the back/top of the case. System runs silent now.
