Fan Upgrade Options?

My case, the Aero Cool DS has the following fans already -

 

'super silent 20cm fan (600rpm) and 12cm fan (800rpm) included for front and rear cooling'

 

I have a H100i 240mm rad CPU AIO coming, this will fit in the top of the case.

 

This leaves me with a 20cm front fan (intake) and up to 14cm rear fan (exhaust) option to upgrade what is already fitted.

 

The whole rig is for performance pc gaming so could you advise of a decent upgrade, noise is not that big a deal - performance is more important its a pretty small cube case design.

 

Thanks for any advice on this.

What are the your specs? Are the stock fans unsatisfactory?

I kinda find it funny how you don't care about noise but you have a case that is literally called the Aero Cool DEAD SILENT also I recommend the Noctua NF-F12-PWM 120mm Cooling Fan: http://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NF-F12-PWM-Cooling-Fan/dp/B00650P2ZC

LOL indeed,

 

Well I bought a second hand rig and am making several  changes, the case looks great and serves me well. It's not I don't care, its just less important than cooling performance for me.

 

Thanks for the recommend, if they do a 14cm version ill check it out.

Cool...I don't know if they do a 14cm version but Noctua fans in general are great!

The Aerocool DS fans are attractive, quiet and move a ton of air if you want to stick with your manufacturer.

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