r4? I thought the fans were really silent but didn't move much air. And I am not a silence freak, as long as I don't hear them when my headphone are on, it's ok.

no they re loud and move quite a bit of air at 12v,

only it has a fan controller to slow them to be quieter.

Anything I write is just a comment, take is as such, there is no guarantees associated with anything I say.

Is 52.8CFM good or bad? Comparing to other fans, they're aprox 67CFM.

Although it is expensive ($249) and massive, the Enthoo Primo comes with 5 PH-F140SP fans.

As everybody else is saying in this thread, the standard NZXT and Corsair fans are pretty good.

I vote Corsair 450D. I have never used it (obviously) but from everything I have seen it looks like a pretty good option.

R4. H440. 

The h440 has bad airflow, feel free to look at Linus's or someone elses review

 

I have an R4, it has good air flow from the start (I've added more in though). The prices are pretty reduced by like 10/20% due to the coming of the NZXT h440. Fans aren't expensive  so I'd recommend adding in at least one more in as an intake but regardless even without that extra one the air flow is just fine.

 

P.S. they're loads of great corsair cases but since theirs so many I don't know what one to suggest, a lot of them have a lot of similarities so if you don't like one thing about one of the cases their might be a case that doesn't have that thing you don't like + the benefits of the other case.

Needs more v-core
