So I am looking forward to buy some case fans for my PC.

I am considering between Noctua and Corsair case fans.

Is Corsair ones good enough? Good air flow, Less noise? If it is, I will buy Corsair cuz Noctua is too expensive

Having experiences with both, Noctua def feel more premium, but Corsair can be good value with twin packs--though are also louder. Although, my defacto fan choice currently are Fractal Venturi fans.

The Corsair fans are great. But extremely loud when at full speed which makes your computer sound like an airplane taking off.

Noctua are worth the extra cost if you can afford it, otherwise Corsair or Fractal Venturi fans are good as Mooshi suggested.

Technically this is the wrong section.  Perhaps @Ryan_Vickers can help with that?

 

 

Anyway I've never used Noctua but I hear good things about them.  

 

But I used 2 of Corsair's ML120 fans (non-LED version) in a build for a friend and they're nice and quiet from what I could tell.  I have no issues suggestion that fan model to you OP.

Noctua fans are the best. Not one of the best, the best. 

If you can afford it, you can't go wrong with it.

I only used corsair's sp 120 before. 

They are quite hard to screw in............... 

If it is not broken, let's fix till it is.

Corsair are much better then stock. One of the better fans o have used. However noctua are much better. Worth every penny in my opinion. If your budget can afford it then get the noctua you won't be sorry.

Just a heads up, Noctua fans can still get loud at 12v, no fan will ever be silent at max limit, just quieter than others if they are built well.

Where are you planning to use the fans and what are you looking for in these fans?

Where are you shopping/located? Budget?
