Hi everyone,

I was wondering if someone could help me out with which case fan / cpu fan to get. 

I want a (razer) green case fan (preferably led). I want it to to be pwm (so 4 pins). 

I want to use 1 as exhaust fan and 1 for my Cryorig H7 cpu cooler. (Can the be the same? Or are cpu cool fans different?)

Which fans should I get? 

Thanks!!

My own build: RΛZΞR theme

CPU: Intel Core i5 7600K // CPU cooler: Cryorig H7 // Motherboard: MSI Z270 gaming pro carbon //       

Video Card: MSI Armor gtx 1070 OC 8GB // RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB 3200MHz //  

SSD: Samsung EVO 960 500GB // HDD: 2x WD yellow edition 2TB //

Case: NZXT H440 RAZER edition // Power Supply: Corsair RM550x //         

Operating Software: Windows 10 pro 64-bit

Usually the fans you want to use for airflow (case fans) and the ones for on a CPU cooler are somewhat different, as for the latter you want higher air pressure (basically they can better push air through stuff, like in this case the heatsink for the cooler, but they are also preferred for radiators and sometimes even if you case has not that much room between for example hard drives in the front).

Case fans you usually just want to have good airflow.

 

Personally I am quite fan of the fan made by Be Quietm but they might not fit your ＡＥＳＴＨＥＴＩＣ if you're looking for LED fans.

What are your specs? Budget? Green LED's aren't very common so the selection is pretty small--even less for for 4pin pwm fans.
