Hello everyone,

 

This is my second post of the day... I'm such a noob, but it's always better to ask :P

 

​I'm upgrading my PC slightly. So I was wondering what fans should I UPGRADE   to allow less noise, better cooling and looks. Going for a black/red theme. Would like plain black or black/red fans, also the front fans don't have to look good as they are not visible :)

 

Case: NZXT H440

Front fans: 3 x 120mm FN V2 Fans

 

Rear: 1x 140/120mm (1 x 140mm FN V2 Fan)

 

CPU COOLER: Corsair H105

Fans:  SP120L 120mm

Thanks 

 

 

 

Might add this later...

I like the AF120s (Quiet Edition) from Corsair. They look great, and are pretty quiet too if you turn them down! :)

(red rings come in the package so it will fit with your colour scheme)

Because the NZXT H440 has limited airflow, using static pressure fans instead of airflow ones at the front would be better. GTs(Gentle Typhoons) and Noctuas are two of the best static pressure fans on the market.

I have my driver bays removed, so would they still be still better. Even tho there is a fair bit of space at the front now?

They're good for everywhere :) (unless you want to put fans on a radiator, then you should buy SP120s)
