its 3 AM so I didn't boteher reading OP, so if this is the case 100% do this

 

 

CM fans are for noobs and @brownninja97

 

buy the appropriate fans insterad 

Old editing case had cm fans(elite 310 or something like that) so i thought it would be better to use fans instead of not using the fans. They arent great but a fan is better then no fan.

cpu: intel i5 4670k @ 4.5ghz Ram: G skill ares 2x4gb 2166mhz cl10 Gpu: GTX 680 liquid cooled cpu cooler: Raijintek ereboss Mobo: gigabyte z87x ud5h psu: cm gx650 bronze Case: Zalman Z9 plus

In the case that you're trying to decide on what fans to get, get what is appropriate and not necessarily what is popular.

Hmm...yeah. But that would make the whole poll pointless wouldn't it? But in keeping with that, do you think a couple of these would be good?

They're fine but NZXT aren't renown for their fans and there are probably better alternatives. You are using them as case fans, right?

Ha! I'm the only person with a Silverstone fan! I knew I was the most intelligent person on earth! :D

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

I recieved my Aerocool Dead Silent red fans just today! They are a good alternative for Corsairs, since they still look  very flashy, while staying pretty quiet. Not the quietest though, the bequiet SW 2 that's also in my system is a good portion quieter. The Aerocools however are by far better than the stock fractal R2 fans. Those just deserve to be swaped out. I'd say Aerocool made a good throw with the DS series fans, allthough not quite touching the silent crown, that's still held by noctua and bequiet.

Swiftech Helix 120s/140s (temporary until I switch over to my Scythe GT AP15s when I go water) and Scythe Ultra Kaze 3Ks (basically Deltas).

Of course, neither of those are on the poll.

I have a mix of Cooler Master Sickleflows and Bitfenix Spectre Pros in my secondary build.

Are you using them as fans for the case or for a heatsink/rad?

Just fans, I need about 3 to 4.

If they're any you can specifically recommend that'd be great. :)

I would like to get some fans with black blades and white exterior to match my future build this year.

Well you mentioned a black fan with a white frame. There aren't many options.

True, I had a look myself. It doesn't matter that they're "Designed specifically for CPU coolers"?

Fans for cpus tend to have more static pressure to push air through the fins.
