Fans for meshify c

[Bas1k]

Hi,

I am planning to buy the case meshify c. I heard that it comes with 2 case fans but i was told to buy the third one for better airflow or to have positive pressure. Can anyone give me suggestion on which fan i should get or should i buy the same fan that the case comes with?

Do you want rgb fans or just black or grey fans?

I have two Corsair ML-140s in front, a Noctua Redux 120mm airflow in back and two Enermax "batwing" fans up top. No complaints about airflow or noise.

I dont need rgb, im gonna use the 2 default fans that comes with it so i would need 1 more fan, o i also don’t know if i should get 120mm or higher

Those are my fav fans ever! I got one like 8 years ago and only threw it out last year as it sounded like a jet taking off vs my new Corsair SP-120.

 

In my Corsair case I have the 140 Fractal fan that came with the case at the bottom on the front to feed fresh air to the GPU. The SP-120 is at the top on the front to push ar through some interference. The 120 Fractal fan that came with the case is in the rear.

 

If your buying new and don’t care about looks go Noctua fans, I wish I had but I’m a Corsair fanboy...

 

Also buy 140s if you can as they are generally quieter, only buy 120s if you have to. I would have bought a 140 if I didn’t already have the 120 from my old build.

 

The two fans fans at the top are great, almost essential, if you have a front mounted radiator. You can also top mount and then probably only need one fan at the front or two if you slow them down, or risk too much positive pressure.

As an FYI the two included fans are Dynamic X2 GP-12. AS far as case fans go they're decent, not the absolute best on the market but for airflow and noise they do okay.

It's funny you mention this, checkout my thread about this:

Ok, thanks

i found this one for only $2 more than the included fan. Think this would be great for the front?  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KF7O58G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_yFIsCbZHR6HYT 

 

also just to make sure, since i will have 3 fans, should i have 2 in the front and 1 in the back?

Yeah that would be good too. IT's a 140mm fan so it's gonn abe bigger than your current fan, but both will still fit at the front

Correct. Two front fans as intakes and one rear fan as exhaust.

Wait, if i have one 140mm and one 120mm in the front wouldnt that make it less optimal so should go with 2x120mm?

No.

So it 1x140mm and 1x120mm will be better than 2x120mm?

It depends on which fans you're comparing. The NF-P14S is definitely better than the stock GP-12 X2 and there isn't much of a benefit in having the same fans.
