Case Fan Advice

[boopbop]

Ok so here is the deal,

 

I currently have a Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 case with the stock fans, however I am looking to buy some case fans and I am unsure of what fans to get.

 

So I was initially thinking of running Noctua Fans as the front fans because they are low noise, efficient and can't be seen(not a fan of the colour scheme).

 

However I don't fancy having noctuas as the rear exhaust and upper fan. Was thinking the Corsair AP Quiet Edition fans but I've heard they are not exactly that quiet. I would like them to look good however.

 

What fans would you recommend?

 

Thanks in advance

The black noctua fans coming soon. What color scheme are you going for? All black? And yes the corsair fans are quite loud.

If you want quiet fans, then Corsair's fans aren't the way to go. Maybe some NB Black Silent Pros. I recently bought some and they're extremely quiet. Just keep in mind that specs of a fan aren't always accurate, look for an actual test and review of them (:

Be quiets fans are actually silent, i got a Be quiet and a noctua side by side and i hear neither

Well the black noctuas are quite loud aren't they? Although they do look sweet! Well I was going for a blue colour scheme ideally.

 

Cheers guys

Forget corsair fans, get Noiseblocker black silent pros, they cost around the same and blow the corsair fans out the water in terms of performance/volume.

Cheers guys, will have a look at the noise blockers any particular version, 120mm/140mm either one. Are the Noctua-A14 FLX the best for the front of the case?

Just get NF-F12's for the front of the case and yeah get 140mm where you can.
