NF-S12a's for rear exhaust and the upper front intake. For intake in front of the hdd cages, get a NF-F12.

I want to replace the 3 stock fans i have in my corsair vengeance c70 right now and im unsure which fans to get and whether they should be pressure optimised or airflow optimised.

 

Two of the fans are located in the front and the 3rd is at the back.

 

I also have the top hdd caddy removed so that i have better airflow to my graphics card.

 

I was planning on picking up some noctua fans but as ive said im not sure which ones to get specifically, can someone help me out and give me some suggestions.

For airflow optimized 120mm Noctuas, the NFS12A is best.  I would only get pressure optimized fans for heatsinks/rads.
