Hi, for my new build, I am using an NZXT H440 and don't know wether the stock fans are any good. I thought about replacing them with corsair SP120 quiets to reduce noise and because I think they look slightly better, but is there any point? Are the stock ones quiet enough and do a good job? Cheers.

Stock fans should be good enough when it comes to cases. They are not vital to anything so even if in 2 years time one were to fail, it'd be easy to replace. I am currently using stock Silencio fans and with the exception of 1 which has a dry bearing, they are good and quiet.

You should be fine. I have a N450 (the new one) and im sure it uses the same fans as the H440 (they share chassis) and they've been great. They're quiet, and keep my CPU/GPU alive.

Pretty good- never had any issues with them. Can be a tad on the loud side under load.
