Which parts are better?

[Guest]

The new BeQuiet Dark Rock 4/Pro 4 are out soon (Q2) if you are not in a rush. That will give you the best of both worlds (Looks and silence).

 

If you are in Europe then you could also consider the Alpenfohn Brocken 3.

I've never looked too deeply into it, so I wouldn't feel comfortable recommending anything.

If you're going for RGB, the newer Corsair fans look nice. The ML series I think? Not sure how they perform though.

I'm not one of those people who craze over RGB haha. I'll probably just go with 2x140mm White LED cases for the intake and keep the 2 that come with the case for a top and rear exhaust. Anyways, when you said "I'd just buy new fans. They're not much more and you don't have to go through the hassle of dismantling the old ones. Plus, you can sell the old ones, so really you'd come out ahead financially.", were you referring to case fans or the Noctua fans?

I thought you were talking about the cooler, so that's what I was referring to.

Ah alright that's fine. In relation to case fans, which do you recommend? What would be good 140mm fans at a reasonable price? I need two of them to act as a front intake? Alternatively, I could 2 packs of 2x 120mm fans and have 3 act as an intake and 1 as an exhaust, while mounting the 2 fans giving with the Meshify C on the top for extra intakes. I rather white LEDs.

I'd probably go with some kind of Corsair fan as I've had good luck with them. I probably wouldn't go nuts filling every possible fan position, as sometimes just having the front and rear populated will give much better airflow. Larger fans will move air at a quieter volume level.

The Corsair SP140 fans only have 49.49CFM. I know static pressure fans aren't supposed to have high CFM numbers, but that does seem rather low doesn't it? Considering that it's nearly 30db.

*shrug* My buddy has 120's in his system and they're quiet as well as keep the rig well cooled.

Fair enough, I'm not aiming for a 5Ghz overclock on my i5-8600k or anything. Just need some fans thats it haha.
