How many and which fans do I buy?

[edlp456]

I'm gonna build myself a new PC and I'm gonna use air cooling only. The case I'm going for is probably the Phanteks Evolv and I want to keep my temperatures down. I already decided I'm going to buy the Corsair SP or AF fans. Which ones out of those two shoud I get and how many?

the included fans will work fine.

the included fans in the evolv aren't the quietest, but they work well

if you insist on aftermarket fans, I'd say get 2 AF140s for the front and 1 AF140 for the back

Hi,

The included fans should do the job and unless you are concerned about noise, you shouldn't have problems, I purchased extra fans and don't really need them, I'd advise either going with the ones all ready installed or following shadowbye's advice

That's the exact config and fans i have, works a treat, just use the fan profiling software on the mobo to manage the speed/noise when it's under load.

 

if money is no object then look at some noctua fans.

I was thinking of buying them because I'm traveling somewhere soon and I know I'll get them way cheaper there, that's why I decided to buy them. And yeah, my goal is to make my PC as quiet as possible.

id say 3 is always good.

Anything above 3 fans is a waste tbh. As for which.... Fractal, Noctua and Be Quiet--Corsair for 2packs to save a little money.

Corsair's fans aren't that great if you're trying to get your system as quiet as possible.

Why are you only looking at Corsair in the first place?

Unless you've already had experience with the stock PH-F140SP's, you should see how they perform before deciding on whether to not to replace them.
