Suggestions on a "Good Red Led Fan" for Radiator?

Hey Guys,

So after a lot of thinking and planning, I've finally come up with a style/scheme for my new build.

I'm going to be using Military Green, Corsair Vengeance C70 Case (http://www.corsair.com/en-us/vengeance-c70-mid-tower-gaming-case-military-green)  with  red colored internals.

 

Just for reference here is the list of parts I will be using for the build:

post-54780-0-33304400-1413771860.png 

 

For basic airflow in the case I have decided to use Corsairs 120mm AF120 Quiet Edition case fans in Red (

). But after some research i have discovered that they don't do a very good job at cooling radiators.

Any suggestions on what fans i should use to replace the stock fans that come with the Corsair Hydro H105? I do require them in red to match the rest of the build.

 

Thanks for your help guys! :)

As @Aniallation said, SP120 LED fans are a good choice.

Bitfenix Spectre pros come in red don't they cause other than the corsair ones they're the only LED fans I trust... Also don't get the GTX 770 get 970 or R9 280X or R9 285 or R9 290... GTX 770 is now has no real benefits too it.

First thing , change to a 4690 instead of 4690K because you are using H97 (not overclocking eh) 

A better power supply (quality not wattage) 

R9 290 (it's dirt cheap now) / R9 290X (still cheap) / GTX 970 , they all come with 4GB GDDR5 .

 

main topic , Corsair LED SP120 or AF120 is fine.

@Aniallation Whats wrong with the Corsair RM? 

http://www.overclock.net/t/1455892/why-you-might-not-want-to-buy-a-corsair-rm-psu

 

RM's are made by CWT and use cheap caps. It's overrated and overhyped. There's a lot of better PSU's out there, such as the EVGA G2, Seasonic G, Rosewill Capstone, Cooler Master V, etc

SP120 are terrible fans, don't buy them. Even spectre pros are better, and those are quite trash to.

 

You won't find any good radiator fans with LEDS on them, I guess the Silverstone AP121 fans are pretty good, but that's about it.

 

 

Also, if you're gonna use h97 get rid of the k processor.

 

Also you'd have to be pretty dumb to pay almost 400 dollars for a gtx770, you can pick one up for like 300 dollars, and the 970 is 350 and is a lot better.

Why? Aren't H97 boards designed for better overclocking? @creativename

No H boards are NON OC-ABLE... Z97=OCing optimized.

I've used them, and out of most LED fans they're the best there is other than corsairs IMHO...but then again I'm not a big LED guy... And even others live and die by Spectre pros eg: Linus himself.
