Adding fans to 750d for better airflow

[Gerard]

Any fans in particular that are quiet and can pull a lot of air through a case? Not really all that sold on the 140's the case comes with for some reason.

Is it 140's you want as replacement or 120's?

Either or, 120s i think can be installed at the bottom, 140s for the front and rear.

I'd normally scream "NOCTUA FANS" at this point... but while they're nice and quiet, the performance is slightly lower than average. It's a fantastic balance if you want silence, but they're not the top...

Enermax T.B.VEGAS DUO UCTVD14A
15db @1500rpm
Only delivers 1.8mm/H2O) of static pressure, but shifts a whopping 154m³/h (that's 91CFM) of airflow!!

Noctua NF-A14 PWM
25db @1500rpm
2mm/H2O, with 140m³/h (82.5CFM).

Both are 140mm fans and both cost about £20.

Have to have a look into those

I would try some SP120's? The SP should be better at the front as the front isn't mesh and is quite restrictive, so it's better to get some static pressure fans

Was actually considering modifying the front panel with a cut out, would be a pain to do and keep it looking good though.

I have seen several front panel mods on the 750D, all of which would improve air flow but also look, well a bit DIY. A front panel like on the 450D would do the trick, that is if Corsair would make one, like this http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/6473/vozf.png
