Need help choosing fans!

Build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FYhtNN

Fan Support

Front: 2x 140/2x120mm  Top: 1x 140/120mm (1 x 120mm FN V2 Fans Included)  Rear: 1x 120mm (1 x 120mm FN V2 Fan Included)

In the S340 come 2 fans pre-installed, 1 at the top (120mm FN V2 Fan) and 1 in the back (120mm FN V2 Fan)
Which 2 fans would you buy and where would you mount them, and would they be intake fans or exhaust fans?
Maybe some NF-S12A-PWM or NF-P12-PWM?
By the way, how many fans can you connect with a G2 550w? 3?

i'd put the two fans it comes with in the front, and put a third in the back, and call it a day.

I have a S340 Elite and use the fans that it came with. Why do you want to change the fans? For fancy RGB? Are you not getting enough cooling?

Nope, don't really care about RGB
I haven't built it yet, so i'm wondering if i should put extra fans in it

Not a bad idea. I'm going to give that a try in conjunction with the 120mm radiator on the front, then add another fan on the black

the same or similar to what's in there already, depending on local availability.

The other guys idea is not a bad one at all, I might do it. But I have the normal fans in the normal place and my temperatures are very cool.

i'm a front->back airflow setup guy, it just makes more sense in my mind than trying to pull in air trough the top, or exhaust it up to before it actually went past something that needs cooling.

 

from experimenting with my define R5 and the rest of my specs (on my profile ) i found that two fans in the front is honestly enough for the average gaming rig, but lose "pressure" rather quick if the dust filter gets clogged, to which the one rear fan is a nice aid.

Yeah it makes complete sense haha. I'm going to change my top fan that the case came with to the front on top of my Kraken radiator

Can i PM you so you can help me with choosing the third fan bud?

[Jamtoad]

I'd keep the front open and get a AIO cooler and mount the rad to the front. But i just like the look of AIO colleges better then air coolers so that's just me

Unless you buy a dust filter for the top, an intake there will bring in dust.

See how the stock fans perform before deciding on whether or not to replace them.

There is a pre installed dust filter in the front of the case
Will do, thanks for the tip
