I'm looking for fans that looks nice

Hello, I'm using the "Noctua NH-U12S" and I think the fans are really ugly. They don't match my computer at all.

 

I'm looking for red/black fans. They have to fit the Noctua and I'd like to have two of them.

Any tips?

Hmm, they were pretty cheap too. And they're available in a store nearby!

 

Will they fit on the cooler (it has a clasp of some sort) and can I connect them both to the CPU-cooler-pins on my motherboard?

pins yes, clasp not sure. You could always rubber band them on

not sure about fittings, they are designed to be screwed etc, but I use them and they are ok fans, not the best, not the worst-  pretty though

Just use Plasti-dip on them? Save some money on new fans then.

Rubber bands seems so ghetto but in worst case I'll do that. I'll pick some up on my way home then! Thanks!

 

EDIT: Looking at a picture of the cooler now and it seems like the clasp is holding on to the screw holes. Perfect!

The clips work just fine and 3/4pin fan connectors are backwards compatible.

Yep, turned out all right! Very easy to install. Just sad that one of the fans have its red ring facing the cooler which doesn't look as nice.
