I'm looking for some recommendations on case fans.  My case is the NZXT S340 Blue/Black case.

 

The case can take:

 

2x140mm intake fans

1x140mm top exhaust fan

1x120mm rear exhaust fan

 

Since my case doesn't have any peripheral or HDD obstructions in front of the intake, I would rather go with Air Flow fans as intake, and then use some static pressure/high air flow exhaust fans for the top and rear of the case.

 

Price is not a factor.  I want high air flow and good quality.  PWM is a must so I don't need to hear these things if I don't want to.

 

I was also going to probably buy an NZXT Grid+ V2 fan controller and plug all the fans up to it.

 

My motherboard (ASRock Z170 Pro4) only has TWO 4pin chasis fan headers.

 

I would definitely appreciated the help.

Ugh, the JetFlow's were one of the ones I was looking at too cause they're PWM and they have good CFM.   Can't you just turn the RPM's down so you don't hear them?

You still hear them at lowest RPM settings - Trust me when I say the fans the came with my cheap ass CiT case were silent compared to these...

I`m afraid I don`t know, which are good, but I think most of their stuff is good, was just the first thing that came to my mind

 

 

No problem.  Thanks.  I have one last question.   Do you know if I can plug multiple PWM fans into ONE 4 pin header on the motherboard?

 

My motherboard is the ASRock Z170 Pro4.  It only has two 4 pin headers on it for "Chasis Fans".  I am going to have 4 PWM fans for my NZXT S340 case which unfortunately cannot use a fan controller cause it doesn't have a 5 1/4" bay. 

 

Do they make a high quality splitter that you know of that will allow me to plug multiple fans into a 4pin header?

But it surely doesn`t look sexy, I would just get something like this

to game or not to game, that`s the question
