Replacement Case Fans

I'm looking to replace my now 6 year old case fans that came with my NZXT h440 when I originally built my pc. I'm looking to populate all five 140mm spots, $100 CAD being the absolute max I am willing to spend. Are there any outstanding fans I should look at. Or are they all largely similar in performance with differences being slight?

I seen those, but never heard of them before. So was, and still am, a little cautious about them being cheap and no good.

And maybe it's just Canadian prices, but Noctua's are a bit over budget for me, unless I'm looking at the wrong kind of fans

Arctic has been around for a while and P14's seem to have been fairly popular since their release. They're a good option for the H440.

At least you saved a bit and bought less expensive fans. You might be able to make something work with one of your old case fans, but mounting might be interesting and unless you can direct the airflow well enough, things will get toasty.

 

Luckily the 3600 cools fairly easily. I really like Noctua, so I'm going to throw out the new U12 redux single tower cooler.

 

Honestly any reputable single or double tower 120mm cooler will be fine. Scythe, Arctic Freezer and beQuiet are all good brands as well.
