Good fans

Noctua, BeQuiet, and Noiseblocker are all very reputable fan makers. If you choose one from 'em, it'll do you great.

 

Here's a google sheet comparing around 1100 fans*. Use the tabs at the bottom to navigate sizes.

The google sheet is a bit outdated with prices, but the stats should still be fine.

 

*These are from manufacturer's specs which often lie. This is why I strongly recommend Noctua, BeQuiet, and Noiseblocker - as they're very reputable and have a good history of good products.

The redux fans are good; however, they don't move as much air as I'd like. Are you looking for 120mm fans or 140mm fans?

fully air cooled PC. I don't care for rgb so doesn't babe to be fancy looking 

Pardon me to introduce my Nocturnal Blackout, it's built by that kind of same idea, a stealth fully black air cooled without RGB involved. You might think the color theme is boring, but black is my favorite color of all time and I love it..

 

Actually it has RGB strips attached but it ended up attracts my toddlers attention which I don't like to be happened, so I switch it off instead and let it be stealthy.. But I can make it to stay fancy without RGB.. ?

Anyway, regarding your question about good fan, I admire Noctua's fans performance, so I will recommend their fans. My PC is fully loaded with 5 Noctua's 140mm fans to cover the inferiority of the case intake air flow. No complaints.. No regrets..

My system specs:

CPU: Intel Core i7-8700K, 5GHz Delidded LM || CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-C14S w/ NF-A15 & NF-A14 Chromax fans in push-pull cofiguration || Motherboard: MSI Z370i Gaming Pro Carbon AC || RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2x8Gb 2666 || GPU: EVGA GTX 1060 6Gb FTW2+ DT || Storage: Samsung 860 Evo M.2 SATA SSD 250Gb, 2x 2.5" HDDs 1Tb & 500Gb || ODD: 9mm Slim DVD RW || PSU: Corsair SF600 80+ Platinum || Case: Cougar QBX + 1x Noctua NF-R8 front intake + 2x Noctua NF-F12 iPPC top exhaust + Cougar stock 92mm DC fan rear exhaust || Monitor: ASUS VG248QE || Keyboard: Ducky One 2 Mini Cherry MX Red || Mouse: Logitech G703 || Audio: Corsair HS70 Wireless || Other: XBox One S Controler

Man, this is very useful data sheets. I checked it and found that the highest air flow performer of 140mm class is the "Silverstone FHP 141", 38mm thick with 2000rpm and blasts 171 CFM! That's crazy amount of air flow, but the static pressure is far inferior than my current fans, and also ball bearing is a down side..

 

I might get this ones as my current NF-A14 3000rpm alternatives for my intakes but still unsure. I'll see if this FHP 141 is available in my local computer store.

And this is my current intake fan ?

 

Unfortunately the Silverstone FHP 141 is louder at its max 2000 RPM than NF-A14 iPPC 3000 at max 3000 RPM. 

 

Thanks for the useful info..

There's some reasons and tests behind that exhaust fan placement, and after some tests and see the results, for me it's worth to stay have the exhaust fan on this build even it has to work outside the case, because it's not possible for me to put it inside and have to conflict with the cooler and resulting negative things overall to the system when it's running..

It's just a meme. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/ah-i-see-youre-a-man-of-culture-as-well

 

@Alex.lap89 What are your specs and what are you looking for in fans besides performance? Which H500 are you using? NZXT and Cooler Master both have cases that use the same name.  

Where are you shopping / located? Budget?
