I recently upgraded my loop to include my 970, I put a new 240mm rad and now I wanna get rid of the stock fans for them.

My rig is a black and Red setup (used mayhem pastel red coolant)

So I want to know if anyone has a good suggestion on a high SP fan in the Pull configuration. 

I really need it to be as quiet as possible (silent would be best)

But also if there are fans with maybe red blades or the housing is red?

 

Thanks :)

I see there being 2 ways of going with this: Either you go the DIY route or the off-the-shelf solution.

 

DIY solution being, taking a good static pressure fan and painting it the color you want. For example doing what Snef did in his Gold Wings project to the EK-Waterblocks Vardar fans.

 

For the off-the-shelf solution, I would choose Corsair's SP series fan, with the red outer ring

The DIY solution might bring you better results, but you are going to have to do some work for it. But there's always the extra flair you get with DIY  ;)

I think the sp120s are the easiest solution
