Worth the upgrade?

Go to solution Solved by Analog,

In my 350D I have installed two 120mm fans in the front, because if I put the two 140mm which I own, unfiltered air gets sucked from around the gaps between the filter and the chassis. There is no point of you upgrading the fans. It won't make that much of a difference. 

Not really you're not going to see a huge increase in cooling performance.

So I've fitted my 350D intake with two 120mm fans, however, after seeing a few videos about the case I've realized the front can house two 140mm fans. 

 

Is it worth replacing the two 120mm fans with 140mm fans? Would I see cooler temperatures for example? 

 

Thanks.

Most likely you would notice a difference that the 140mm rotates slower, therefore making it more quiet.

Do you really expect me to know things?

The OP asked if he would notice any cooling increase. Not sound decrease. Sound i assume is not concern.
