I have a Phanteks P400. Now I only have two stock P400 fan and one Masterfan Pro 120 Air Balance. I want to buy some new fans and I think I won't use the stock ones anymore. I have a budget 75 dollars (or 400 TL, I'm in Turkey) for 4 140 mm fans. I think 4 140 mm fans for 2 in front and two on top. First I looked to Noctua fans but then I forund the Arctic F14 PWM PST fans. In specs they are good. Not good as Noctua or other high ends but still good. Also I found one of them for only 35 TL so it will make 140 TL's for four. Which is like 30 dollars. What would you suggest?

Why don't you want to use the stock fans?

Too loud for me. I used them in a horizontal positiom for a while and turns out that they are sleeve bearing fans. Now they started to make some tick noise too. @WoodenMarker

2-3 front intake and 1 rear exhaust would be plenty already. It would also get past the horizontal mounting issue.

2x NF-A14 front intake: http://www.nanokatalog.com/urun/nf-a14-pwm-ch-bk-s

1x NF-S12A: rear exhaust: http://www.nanokatalog.com/Noctua-NF-S12A-PWM-120mm-1200-RPM-18dB-Kasa-Fani,PR-102286.html

 

If you want to save some money, here are cheaper alternatives:

TY-141 for front intake: http://www.nanokatalog.com/Thermalright-TY-141-SV-152x140mm-Kasa-Fani,PR-103124.html

PW2 for rear exhaust: http://www.nanokatalog.com/be-quiet-Pure-Wings-2-120mm-1500-RPM-192dB-Kasa-Fani,PR-98966.html

@WoodenMarkerI have the MasterFan Pro already and it makes more sense for me to use it in rear. So I will just buy the NF-A14's. But wouldn't the A15's be better?

They're the same fan with a different frame. That being said, there's little point in getting Noctuas if you're sticking with the MasterFan Pro. The system is only as quiet as the loudest component. You could go with F14 PWM PST CO's instead to save some money. http://www.nanokatalog.com/Arctic-F14-PWM-PST-CO-140mm-PWM-1350-RPM-Kasa-Fani,PR-98167.html

I just have 1 MasterFan Pro for back. Because the Noctua fans are better than Arctic I will buy them. Thanks.
