I feel as if you have had a question about your rig about every day. but 140 for quiet.

140s unless you're running a toaster/9590 in there. Two bigger fans are quieter than three smaller ones.

Aerocool DS are the best fans you've never tried.

It doesn't really matter. Contrary to popular opinion, 140mm fans do not necessarily have better performance/airflow/noise performance than 120mm.

I don't care about noise because the fans will we quiet edition, I just want the best temps possible inside of the case.

"Quiet" is a relative term.

Aerocool DS are the best fans you've never tried.
