Fan vs Fan

[Nosfy]

Guys, if you PC case has the option to have either 2 140mm fans or 3 120mm fans as front intake.. what would you go for?

 

Less bigger fans or more smaller fans?

Would do only two for the least amount of hassle in thr long run.

On my H440 I rather have three 120s Noiseblocker eLoops don't come in 140 sadly

It depends what the situation is. If more cooling is a must (like for some 'straylian's for example) then the three 120s. But if it's not as imperative the slightly quiter 140s would be the better choice.

Im just want as much cooling as possible. With that in mind would you suggest going for 3 fans?

Learned the lesson.

 

Thanks dudes.

Unless you want a radiator there it's not necessary to have any fans there at all.

You suggesting no front intake fans?

I don't have any, my temperatures are perfectly normal. I didn't have any in my old antec 100 either, no problems there either. In most cases the stock fan configuration in a care are fine. You only really need more if you go for multi-gpu configurations or if you're liquid cooling. Although I should probably have checked what your setup was before saying that ^^

The case has two 140mm fans as front intake which I will be upgrading mainly for aesthetics reason. While doing it I was curious if it was better to go with 3 120mm or stick with the 2 140mm fans. 

 

I'm running GT980 in SLI.

I would go for the bigger two, unless you really need a massive extra push from a 3rd fan, the two 140's should move enough air to cool it down. plus because they are bigger they move more air at slower speeds, and therefore not as loud., a big plus in my book.
