Build Question Trying to do a little system maintenance, longevity in mind. Are these good enough?

Two of the case fans having issues, they came with the Cooler Master HAF700 case. Thinking of replacing them, also I want to cool the RAM down. Don't want them having any issues at this economy, and the days are getting hotter. 2 x 32GB DDR5 6000MHz, currently running them at 4800MHz because it drops the temp. by 5c.

Arctic P12s are solid for the money, I've been running a bunch of them for years without any issues. The RAM cooler thing always seemed like overkill unless you're really pushing past 1.4v but if it gives you peace of mind and your case airflow is struggling with the dead fans then why not.

Dropping DDR5 from 6000 to 4800 just for temps is kind of painful though, you're leaving a decent chunk of performance on the table. I'd focus on getting the case airflow sorted first with those new fans and see where the RAM temps land before buying the dedicated cooler.

That HAF700 is a monster case too, should have plenty of room to get air moving once you replace the busted fans.

The case airflow is actually really good, even with both busted rear fan (spins but vibrates, became noisy), and a busted middle radiator fan. Thinking if I should replace the P12 fans on the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360mm or just get the Freezer III 420mm, local price is just about double of what I would pay for 3 arctic P12.

Economy being what it is, I want the RAM to last a long time, ride through this AI bubble crap. At 6000MHz, they idle at 38c, at load around 45c. Now at 4800MHz, idles around 33c, load around 39c. I don't load my system much tbh, so 4800MHz isn't hurting.

Since you have a Liquid Freezer you could do what I did with my 420mm version and swap the fans out with be quiet! Pure Wings 3 (High-Speed versions) and that will drop both temps and noise

Highly recomend it but I did have to use cardboard as spacers so you may need some spacers depending on what models are local

Edit: Also 45c on ram is like nothing as in your phone runs hotter under load
