Best Fan Setup

[spicymchaggis]

I have a Cooler Master HAF XM with a H100i and ax760i and commander unit.

The rear exhaust takes 1 x 120mm

The front takes 2 x 120mm or 1 x 140mm fans

The HDD cage takes 2 x 120mm fans

The roof takes 2 x 120mm fans or 2 x 140mm fans or 2 x 200mm fans

 

Now im asking is what is the best fans to use in each of these areas, wanna fill the case up with corsair fans.

Was gonna replace the stock 120L fans on Rad with 4 x sp120 pwm quite editions in push pull and run the h100i to my commander.

Any help appreciated. Looking for a nice cool quite setup

Hi my friend. I have the case Obsidian 350D and i installed:

 

Front: 2x AF140 Quiet Edition

Rear: 1x AF120 Quiet Edition

Top (H100i): 2x SP120 PWM Quiet Edition

 

I hate noise.

 

Air Series AF case fans perform best in unrestricted spaces with at least 3 cm (1.2”) of clearance, and they’re ideal for mounting at the rear or top of your PC case as exhaust fans for your PC’s motherboard and CPU, graphics accelerators, and other components that fill the case with heat. They work equally well as unrestricted intake fans for areas like side panels or bottom intakes.

 

The wide body, low-pitch blades of the SP120 fans combined with the custom housing provides outstanding static pressure and airflow through heatsinks or radiators. With rubberized corners, a quiet and reliable Advanced Hydraulic Bearing, and PWM support for increased fan speed control, the SP120 truly is the strong, silent type.

only 2 fans on the h100i and do you mean 2 x 120mm af120's on front?

what about the hdd cage? 2 x af120's?

[spicymchaggis]

would sp120's not be better in front then as they pull air through mesh and push through the hdd bay?

if you will be use only 2 fans for the h100i, then it needs to be SP version. you can buy Quiet Edition or High Performance Edition, whatever you want.

 

if your hhd's gets hot then you can install a SP version right next to the hdd cage.

 

just remember, corsair recommended AF for high airflow and SP for High Static Pressure like heatsink and radiator (H50, H55, H80i, H100i, H110, etc...).

 

you can buy whatever you want for hhd cage, SP or AF. I prefer AF because it will blow a lot of aire to all the case.
