 Hello again, I would like to know what case fans I should buy for my new rig and what size. some of the specs are: case corsair 750D, r9 290 vapor-x and an i7 4790k. What case fans should I buy? I am looking for a LOT of airflow, since the 750D cant do well enough on its own. Tell me your opinions and  thank you for your time

Case fans I always go for noctua or corsair. Especially the new noctua industrial fans that look amazing with the same great performance. 

So I spelt something wrong in my post... I don't care I don't read through what I write and I type very quickly.


Intel 3770k stock, MSI Z77A-GD65, MSI GTX 760, Corsair Vengence DDR3 1600Mhz 16Gb, Corsair RM 550W, Samsung 830 256Gb, some random hdds.

Size wise you should use 140 mm fans where you can because they tend to have better airflow and are quieter.

 

some good fans/companies are:

 

Corsair AF and SP series

be quiet shadow wings 2

Noctua

scythe Gentle Typhoons

Noiseblocker

Cougar

 

I personally have silent wings 2 140 mm all over my case and can say they are great for silence and for airflow. Not so much for static pressure but i don't water cool anyways.

who cares...

Sycthe gentle typhoons, noctua NF-f12's and noiseblocker Eloops are the best fans full stop.

If you don't want or spend that much money however I would get noiseblocker blacksilent pros, get 120mm fans. And don't get corsairs :)
