Good case fans

Right now I have 2 fans that came with my case, but they are pretty... bad.

Anybody have any recommendations for case fans? I am looking at NF-F12s, but they are expensive, and to be honest, a bit ugly.

Systems specs and temps? What are you trying to improve?

Where are you shopping / located? Budget?

Noctua NF-A12x25's are stupid good fans.

Ugly, but ridiculously good and versatile

 

I did waaaaaay too much research on fans in the last 2 weeks.

 

& Im thinking of swapping out my F12's for more A12x25's

 

Edit: Thermaltake made a cheap ripoff called the Toughfan 12, its black, but many of them also have issues like fans hitting the edges.

I'm gonna get a 2060, which isn't too hot of a card, and will be paired with a R3 2200G at first, but will soon be upgraded to a 3600.

I just want some nice quiet fans. 

Are the NF-P12 Redux's any good?

NF-P12's are good. What case are you using?

Where are you shopping / located? Budget?

Arctic P12 and p14 are good budget fans. They are usually highly recommend.

 

I don't like the thermal take tough fans for two reasons. I've heard they don't last very long and they are a blatant rip off of Noctua.

 

I have some redux p12 fans on my GPU and they are great. No extras that come with the standard Noctuas, but still good quality. And black/gray for those that care.

 

I have all Noctua fans in my case and they all perform very well. Only issue I've had is buzzing with the 140mm fans when they are too close to an obstruction in pull mode. Resolved by spacing them or limiting speed.
