Honestly, changing out the fan will make very little difference on the CPU temps, better to get a better cpu cooler like an AIO water cooler

i had lower temps before i changed my case to the 400C.  I had a better fan pushing air through the cpu cooler. My cooler is awesome in push/pull i had 25-29C idle.

 

i just want and need to change the fan on front, since the other one is facing to the gpu

How are you measuring the airflow?

Are you not satisfied with your current temps?

What are your specs and load temps?

well 6600k @ 4.4ghz  1.295v in bios , but it rises up to 1.34v 

temps 33-35C idle 55-60C load

but thats not the point. My current fan there looks terrible and its also molex alaways full speed. i want to change it to a better one to help improve my airflow and temps

You're fine up to 80-90c at load and it seems you'll be seeing diminishing returns at 55-60c. You can get something quieter but a new fan isn't going to lower your temps much if at all. 

The fan should be pwm and you're probably using a molex adapter if that's the case. Just power the fan from a pwm header off of your motherboard instead to control the fan speed.

ye agree , but my guess was that in my old case i had a different fan facing to the cpu cooler..and i though okay maybe the fan is the cause.. i had 25-29C idle temps in my old case and now i have 33-35C

 

Also my motherboard is ASUS and with AiSuite i can change the fan speed either its 3 or 4 pin ..but the one that i posted in OP is a 4 pin..and i think i dont have any 4 pin slot available just 1x 3 pin from a splitter

The motherboard should have 7 4pin fan headers. Are they all used up?
