The Orange is removable?

the linus edition fans are black with orange rubber mounts, the rubber mounts on them are removable.

Fractal Design Venturi HF-12 and HP-12 are also on par fans (like really they are amazeballs good) that cost about 1/2 as much. Did I mention they are pure black?

I realized when looking at more fans that some get quite loud, what about these?

noctua!! coffee is yur friend 

 

otherwise you may be able to buy the special edition LTT noctua fans! 

 

available for pre order only in the UK.. smells fishy lol 

 

I'd wait on that a little longer.  but seriously just buy whatever fans that you like if you can..  theres plenty of fan options in different colors out there.   

 

edit: this is a fan i saw on frozen cpu that looked good.. its easy shopping for fans..  just pick one that looks good and has good reviews.. 

Akasa 120mm x 25mm Apache Black Super Silent PWM Fan

 

there are also 120mm fans with extra width.  I was sorta unaware of theres until a just a second ago.  anyway I find them interesting as you'll probably be able to move more air with wider width fans. 

 

Delta 120 x 38mm Ultra High-Speed PWM Fan - 210.38 CFM

These are very quiet and powerful. (at least I can totally vouch for the 140mm versions, and I have yet to hear about anyone on the forum have a bad experience with the venturi fans.)

Well right now I use the 1 included, and 1 more of my case fans on the cooler, and it stays lovely quiet, but it can get pretty hot under load. 

What are you cooling and what are the load temps? A new fan usually won't make a huge difference in terms of performance.

Right now in trying to cool a fx8330 and I realzied that I may wanna keep the stock fan, but I would like to replace the extra case fan with the same fan that came with the cooler. Do you know what series that fan is?

The stock fan is a Blademaster but there are probably better options for case fans.

For recommendations, it would help to mention where you're shopping/located, budget, and where the fan is being placed. Specs of the system would also be helpful.

I live in California shop mainly Amazon and newegg, and my budget is no more than 50$.

I jut want to add one more fan to my CPU cooler,since I already have 2 case fans. Specs: FX8320, Hyper 212 CPU cooler, GTX960 internal exhaust, in the NZXT S340.

Why add another fan? It doesn't help performance much--maybe 1-2c at load.
