AF120 or SP120

Hi folks

I'm upgrading my AM1 mitx system tomorrow.

Case is this one https://www.overclockers.co.uk/silverstone-sugo-sg13b-mini-itx-chassis-black-ca-403-sv.html

It will now house a Z170 board, Zotac mini 1060 6gb and a 6600k on it's stock cooler. I will run this at stock to start.

I am aware of the differences between the SP ans AF fans, which do you think will work best as a front intake in the above?

Many thanks

Have you considered the ML120? I believe their performance/noise is much better than the other two, I have the 140 and it's fantastic.

AF for a case fan, SP for a higher resistance fan (rad etc)

ML if you can run it PWM, dont run it on voltage control.

NF-A14 PWM or the Corsair ML series. You want a fan that is good at both pressure and airflow as the case is so cramped.

I would also recommend the redux lines from Noctua:
