Choosing a CPU cooler

Hello,

Im have recently upgraded my CPU, MOBO and a case. It was an upgrade from a not windowed case so now I want it to look as best as possible. I have the ASUS TUF GT301, ASUS TUF B660 plus and a 12400F. I use the stock 4 case fans (one black and 3 ARGB) and one of the ARGB fans is not working since the case came. Didnt want to refund because it would be too much of a hustle.

 

 

Now Im planning on buying a new CPU Cooler plus case fans. I have already looked into the case fans and chose the Arctic P12 ARGB because they look very simple and are ARGB. I will buy two 3packs to fill the whole case(I know it is unnessesary but I want it to look nice and if I need uprage it will be ready). I need some fans with ASUS Aura Sync as it is what my Motherboard uses and Im also already familiar with it. I didnt like the design of Cooler Master MasterFan MF120 for example because of their "round" design. Do you have any other recommendations regarding the fans? Only requirements are ASUS Aura sync compatible, 120x120, ARGB, Design similar to the Arctic cooler and preferably compatible with the ASUS fan hub in my case.

 

Regarding the CPU cooler Im kinda lost. I looked into the  Arctic Freezer i35 ARGB but I dont really like the design(would prefer classic heatsink design with an aRGB fan). I would prefer a heatsink with a fan also ASUS Aura Sync compatible and ARGB but Im just not sure how to choose these. Are all 120x120 fans compatible with these?  Can I just buy another Arctic P12 fan a put it on? 

 

Thanks in advance for any help and sorry for my english its not my first language. 

 

EDIT:
I have also looked into 

Cooler Master SickleFlow 120 ARGB and Fractal Design Aspect 12 RGB (The design isnt perfect for me but could still look nice)

Have you tried contacting support just for a case fan replacement?

Which one? It was ordered on a company my family member works at. Would ASUS be able to resolve this?

If it was purchased from Asus, yes.
