Best 120/140mm Case Fans (NZXT S340)

[Cameronazzi]

Hello all,

 

I'm going to be using NZXT's S340 (White) in my PC build and I am wondering what are the best fans to keep the system cool?

 

-Will the 2 x 120mm included fans be sufficient?

-What case fans do you recommend for good air cooling?

-How many case fans should I use?

 

If it helps, here is my build:

I would keep the included fans and add 2 140mm on the front. The front is always somewhat restricted, mesh, filters and something hard drives caddies, so it's better to get something with decent SP. You didn't include budget so i'll leave options. Noctua NF-P14, Bitfenix Specter Pro, phanteks PH-F140MP, Cougar Vortex and AP141

This are all good fans, personally i would go with the NF-P14 or the AP141, some of them don't have PWM, but case fans rarely benefit from that since the only good PWM header is the CPU FAN header.

Just realized you're in the UK, but you can look for these fans on any UK store, they are pretty common so most of them should be available

Thank you for the feedback, I'll take a look at these fans and see where and how much I can get these for.

 

Much appreciated!
