Fans for this case?

[Liopar]

Greetings, friends!

I'll be building my first rig (Yay!). My problem is that I don't know whether I should buy SP fans or AF fans for the front intake of the case (note that it has a dust filter), and if it's better to have 2x140 or 3x120. I was leaning towards 3x120 SP Quiet edition fans from Corsair since I like the looks... The PC will be something like this:

• CPU i5 6600k w/ a Cryorig H7
• MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X
• Storage WD Blue 1 TB 7200rpm
• Mobo Z170x Gigabyte Gaming 7
• EVGA G2 650w PSU
• Ripjaws V DDR4 @ 2400
• Corsair Carbide 400C case

Any help is appreciated!

Sp stands for static pressure, they're primarily used for radiators and other dense *stuff* the fan need to blow through. What you're looking for is airflow (af). As for 2 140 or 3 120 I've always been inclined to choose 2 140 reason being less fans less noise (to an extent)

EDIT:

Oh side note here, corsair fans are LOUD

Thank you for the contribution!

 

Are you sure it wont have any trouble with the front dust filter?

Positive 

Unless the dust filter is super super dense

Okay then, guess I'll go for 2 AF140 for the front and maybe leave the stock 120 for the rear exhaust.

 

Thank you very much!
