Front panel fans h440

Go to solution Solved by WoodenMarker,

Ive just ordered some NF-A14s PWM for my radiator on the top of the case. This case is starved all round to be honest. (I think the PWM fans run at 1500 and the FLX ones run at 1200?)

Just trying to decide whats best for the front. 

I've got about £60 for the front 3 so i should be able to get 3 decent fans. The noctuas are only like £17 each. Just unsure :S lol

2 NF-A14's should perform similarly to 3 NF-F12's while being quieter.

Hey folks,

 

Just wondering on what peoples opinion was on the best fans for the front of a h440?

 

SP or AF fans?

 

The front of the case is pretty starved because of the panels. 

Was thinking of 3 Noctua nf-f12 (static pressure)

 

Or do you think some good air flow fans would be better? If so which ones?

 

(Remember the front is starved by the panel and the hdd cages are behind the fans).

 

Many Thanks :)

A combination of the two are important. I'd suggest getting 2 NF-A14's if price isn't that big of an issue.
