Do you have any favorite fans? Just in case i need them 

My favorite fan is the NF-S12A PWM.

If you're looking for great fans and don't have any limit on budget, Silent Wings 3's or NF-A14's would be excellent.

Hi i have a Fractal Design Define S with an Asus Z170A mobo which i think only supports 4 4 pin fans.

I don't know what to look for when shopping for fans but what im looking for is 140mm ones (3 for front and 1 for back)

also it would be nice if they were quiet too.

Where are you shopping/located? Budget?

Why are you looking for new fans as opposed to just sticking with the stock ones?

3pin fans work in 4pin headers.

If you ever need help with a build, read the following before posting: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/3061-build-plan-thread-recommendations-please-read-before-posting/

I'm shopping from Hungary 

The stock fans are good but summer is coming up and its usually really hot here so anything helps.

I don't really have a budget just need good fans.

Mobo: Asus Z170A 

Cpu: I-5 6600K (No OC right now)

Cpu cooler: Be quiet dark rock 3

Case : Fractal design Define S

Gpu: Msi gtx 1070 quicksilver (Haven't bought it yet)

 

My temps are around 20~22 idle and 30~40 when gaming.

With a 4.5 OC the temps are around 30 idle and 50~61 while benchmarking with aida64

 

I don't know how much heat will the Graphics card will make but i hope that it wot be too much.

Those temps are low--you're fine up to 80-90c at load. There's no need to buy new fans.

Well right now they are fantastic but if summer comes i think i'm gonna be in trouble.

It's -2 Celsius right now outside and around 20 inside and at summer it usually get's 30~40 Celsius outside.

 

So i don't know how much will the temps raise at summer.

Outside temps don't matter unless you're keeping the system outside. 

Unless your room gets much hotter, you shouldn't worry about it.
