Hello, I am looking for some new case fans preferably 140mm (i think this is best correct me if I'm wrong) what would you say to be the best priced and most reliable silent oriented case fan. It Is for a micro ATX case and I don't want to be spending too much money. What would your suggestions be, at the moment I am thinking be-quiet but they don't have the best reviews and are a bit pricey. Thanks!

is there a reason why you need anouter fan?

 

normally the fans included enough are fine, esp if your on a budget

 

The case i am getting only comes with the one fan and i don't think this will be sufficient plus it needs to be quiet as i live in a busy household and the people around me hate too much noise.

Yeah nice and clean case i put it down as a maybe, thanks!

Not the Define R3 Case, the Silent Series R3 fan :P

 

Some companies that I know make great, cheap fans are Phanteks, Fractal Design and CRYORIG. I have personal experience with the CRYORIG XF140 (140mm airflow-optimised fan) as I have one strapped to my CPU cooler. It's inaudible, and dirt cheap.

Benchmark Results: 3DMark Firestrike: 10,528 | SteamVR VR Ready (avg. quality 7.1) | VRMark 7,004 (VR Ready)

 

Other systems I've built:

Core i5-4590 | Intel Stock Cooler | Gigabyte GA-H97N-WIFI | HyperX Savage 2x4GB DDR3 | Seagate 500GB | Intel Integrated HD Graphics | Fractal Design Arc Mini R2 | be quiet! Pure Power L8 350W

 

I am not a professional. I am not an expert. I am just a smartass. Don't try and blame me if you break something when acting upon my advice.

What are your specs and where are you planning to put the fans?

Where are you shopping/located?
