Air flow or static pressure

Go to solution Solved by SeanAngelo,

In the process of cleaning my PC and I realize I should change the front fan on my case since its the stock msi one and isn't very good or quiet. Im going to swap it for a corsair led fan (since this one is currently led and I like the look) but I'm not sure if I should get an air flow fan or a static pressure fan. I know static pressure fans are good for radiators and other restictive air flow areas and since I have this meshing on my front panel as well as a thicker dust filter if a static pressure fan would do better in this case rathan than an air flow one.

-Thanks, Mike.

I'd actually go with some BitFenix Spectre fans instead of Corsair AFs in your case, as they're both cheaper and quieter, and they're both fitted with distinctly mediocre bearings anyway.
