Best LED air flow fans

Lord_Karango17
Go to solution Solved by WoodenMarker,

Riing series looks good.

TrueQuiets and Gelid Wings are great. 

 

Would they be fine as case intakes? since the riing series is marked as sp optimized, and there isnt any restriction at the front of my case.

I know they will work fine, however would an af optimized fan like the corsair af series be better in terms of airflow?

Corsair led fans are mediocre at best. Riing's are better. Corsair's AF/SP fans with the rings are good though.

While I have nf-f12s on my rad, the rest of the fans on the case are the ones out of the box, that are pretty garbage. They make a lot of noise, and barely move any air.

 

What would be the best airflow optimized fan (to be put in the front of the case) that would be available in white/ green (still not decided yet)

 

I know of corsair af 120s, and the thermaltake riing series.

NZXT Hue+ and the normal noctua fans modded for small LEDs??

Hue+ is bloody expensive, and I already have the original hue, so it would be a bit of a waste.

The Hue+ was a huge improvment, and the LED fans seem to make a huge cut in quality for aesthetics.

Jetflos are great fans if you need a lot of airflow and don't care much about noise.

They are loud compared to other case fans but they get some unjust hate for it imho. They are no louder on their stock speed than your typical AiO pump. They also have an amazing balance of airflow and pressure. They can perforn any task pretty adequately and the performance/sound ratio is actually quite good. My biggest complaint is they are on the expensive side. They are built to last though.
