Hi! I have an H90 mounted on the back of a 550D. I want to replace the stock fan, since the rad fan is the only exhaust in the case the replacement fan should both provide nice airflow and static pressure. (Push or Pull, which is better for this config?) I'll be changing the other fans and need recommendations for them too. My setup is going to be like this:

-2 intake on front

-1 intake on bottom

-1 exhaust on back

Your help is much appreciated! Thank you. :)

Oh look, theres a noctua over there, Go Pokeball!  NF-P12 Gotta catch them all (or new industrial version if you wish)

  

Thanks for the replies guys. What are the differences between the industrial versions and the usual ones? They cost more than the classic Noctuas.

I forgot to ask, what size would be better for the bottom? 140 or 120? There are no restrictions there to block airflow. All the other fans are restricted because of the 550D's design.

It explains it somewhere in here... I think. 

I couldn't watch the video because I'm currently in a very crowded place! :) Can you please just explain the differences to me? I'd greatly appreciate it..

Just watch it later, i cant explain the differences off the top of my head.

I think I'll skip them as they get shitty reviews everywhere. No need for explaining. They aren't "Noctua silent" either. Just Noctuas with a black theme and loud operation AND for a higher price, if you can't explain the differences then why did you recommend them in the first place?

I highly recommend Akasa Apache Blacks for use as radiator fans. They come in 120mm and 140mm and are almost silent with great static pressure. Noctua NF fans, Be Quiet Shadow Wings, Bitfenix Sprectre Pros and Gentle Typhoons (if you can find them) are also great options.

As for case fans I have found Be Quiet fans to be good, as well as Corsair AF and Fractal Design Silent R2s. Noctua also make airflow fans, and Cooler master fans have been recommended to me before.

Noctua isn't the be all and end all... *ducks*
