New fans for custom loop.

I'm going to replace my Corsair Mag Lev fans with some Noctua Chromax's. This is in a Corsair 5000D Airflow. For the intakes without a rad, is it best to go with the same static pressure fans that are on the rads of go with airflow optimised fans on those intakes? Thanks.

I'm guessing these are 120mm fans, correct? 

 

Id go for the nf a12x25. Those are gonna be the best fans they make. But id go for the pressure optimized ones if you can't get those are the grill and other stuff in the case will limit the performance of the airflow fans a lot.

 

Also why are you swapping fans? There won't be a signifant performance or noise difference compared to your current fans

The blue LEDs have faded in most of my Mag Lev fans, and at this point I'm happy enough to replace them with some nice black fans instead of more LED fans. Plus, a couple of them have a rattle after years of use. They predate this case by at least two years.
