What case fans to buy

JDCKVII

I’m hoping to buy the fractal design meshify c within the next week or two and going to buy some case fans with it. My question is though, what fans to buy? I’m looking for fans that are quiet but are also very effect, i’d take a little bit extra noise just to know that my pc is being cooled well. I also don’t care about RGB or any lighting. 

 

I was also looking at bequiet! silent wings 3 but im not sure which variant to go for if I went with them. 

 

All suggestions appreciated!

If money isn't of concern..... then ML's are the only way to fly imo.

haha, asking this is like asking cola or pepsi...

I would say that i touched quite a lot of case fans in my life, and almost all of them were "worth" their money.

my general opinion is, go large. the larger the better. 140mm>120mm>80mm and so on.

Due to preselecting the BQ-ones i assume you also want to keep it as quiet as possible. In this case, i´d recommend Noctua Fans. Thoose are the ones who convinced me in all categories. (noise, air volume, installation, longevity, maintenance and additional equipment like rubber bolts and adapters).

What are your specs? The case comes with two pre-installed GP-12 X2's which are pretty good already.
