Which type of fan should I install in the front of my new case?

Xtreme Gamer

I am getting a new mastercase pro 5 to upgrade to, and I didn't know which type of fan to get. Airflow optimized or static pressure optimized? Thanks for the help!!!!

Really, extra fans are unnecessary.

Static pressure is good anywhere.

if you are air cooling since it is an airflow optimized case i would say air flow though you really can never go wrong with static pressure

I am using the fans that came with my corsair h100i gtx cooler on top and don't know what fans to put in the front.

3 different opinions. Which one should I go with here? 3 differing opinions doesn't help me.

ok

extra fans are not neccesary unless your temps are high

if they are high, either static pressure or airflow will work if you are not using liquid cooling

if you are using liquid cooling, definitely pressure

otherwise, i would go with airflow as they are cheaper

Even if the rad is on top and the extra fans would go in the front you would still go pressure, and even if I took out those drive cages, you would still  go pressure? Why? I don't get it.

Im planning on going with the mastercase pro 5 and mounting the h100i gtx rad and fans on top, and then if the front of the case has one fan, i'd put another one in. I it has 2 fans, I would still put another one in if space is available.
