larger fans you can run at a slower speed to move the same amount of air of smaller fans. This gives you a quieter system if that is what you are going for.

 

although 200mm have less variety than the 140mm if i recall

 

 

Hey guys i just wanted to know what would be better 2 200mm exhaust fans or 3 140mm exhaust fans.

Also if 1 200mm Intake 2 140mm or 3 120mm would be better

 

Thanks!!

It depends on where they're being placed. 200mm fans have a large dead zone in the center hub and have very little static pressure.
