Dual ask thread- RGB and Case fans! (S340)

[Splashboy3]

So my glorious rig is about to be bought in a couple days and I was wondering what would be some cheap/best kind of aftermarket RGB kit/or even strips to buy for the inside of my rig.

 

I'm using an NX3T S340, and here's the rest of the build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wCbX6X

 

As for case fans, i'm not sure how many to get/whether to go with mounting the radiator to the top, or the front. Suggestions for aftermarket case fans(which, and how many) best thermals? (below 75c at huge load)

Noctua make amazing fans, but they're brown. If you don't like that don't get them. You should need minimum 2 fans pulling in & one fan pulling out. It's more about ratios, so 2:1, 3:2 etc.

In my S340 I ran my H90 in the front and its still in the front in my 400C never had a days issue with it there. 

 

For fans I can highly reccomened the Cooler Master ones, I used them in RGB vommit and even though you don't have Asus aura sync they were still awesome.

I think they make some that are black. Are you looking for RGB fans?

Silent wings 3, phenomenal fans.

 

Or the new Darkside Gentle Typhoon

 

These aren't rgb fans but performance fans, Low temps and low noise.

Nah, you can get a pack of three Thermaltake 120mms (and a little more for 140s) for like $30

is 140 the "standard" speed for case fans?

No, it's the size of the fans.

These are the fans you can install:

Quote

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)

I'd recommend getting NZXT's RGB fans if you are also getting RGB strips, since they can sync together.

 

NZXT Hue+ and NZXT AER RGB Fans will sync together, and the HUE+ is considered the best RGB light kit.

But they are crazy expensive

$75 for a 3-pack of 120mm fans is expensive, but only about $15-20 more than the cheaper thermaltake ones, and IMO it's worth it if you have a HUE+
