Best fans to put in a CM storm scout 2 mid case?

TorguL

Any recommendations? Which 120mm fans will maintain a good airflow within the CM case? I want ones which have 4pin pwm connector so that i can control via an after-market fan controller. Thanks.

Noctua makes the best fans but they have the worst color.

Corsair AF and SP fans are good and they come in black and 3 different colored rings to match your build

Yes. The fans are controllable. I own one of their SP fan lineup. Currently hooked up to a fan controller.

    I think you can plug the 3pin fans too. You will control the voltage/speed via the fan controller, maybe you will not be able to monitor the rmp's if the fan ctrl it's more simple (not the led ones - i like the nzxt sentry ones - mesh and mix.

 

   There are some other nice fans: like Cougar ones and Deepcool, can chose a little bit by color  :) .

I have these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181028

They are Corsair Air Series AF140 Quiet Edition. Thought they were the SP models. But if they have a three pin connection at least, you can control them. My AFs are very very quiet.

I have an AF 140 Quiet edition in my R4 build, it does not even make a difference.

 

EDIT: Noise wise lol

Corsair if you want something that looks good and performs pretty well. Noctua fans are beast.
