case cool

Hi building my first pc and already got the nzxt h7 flow 2024 and was wondering what to do about fans, it comes with 3 120mm fans but they are 3 pin ones so thinking about replacing them, according to the specs i can have :

top 3x120mm or 2x140mm.
1 rear 120mm or 140mm.
3 front 120mm or 140mm.
3 bottom 120mm.

thinking 3 bottom 120mm,1 rear 140mm,3 front 140mm and 1 or 2 top 140mm.
any advice.
priority is quiet so will probably run them at low speeds.
don't want to spend a fortune.
will probably spend more on the 1 rear fan than the other fans individually.

thanks for the replies. thinking 3 x140mm front,1 140mm rear, 1 140mm top back, anyone got any suggestions for which fans to use?, cpu cooler will probably be one of the thermalright air coolers.

thanks for the reply, look like

Arctic P series are the go to for value/performance and have RGB + white options depending on what you are after

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x Arctic P14 PWM PST Black Fan - 140mm (SKU: FG-04K-AR) = £6.95
• 1 x Arctic P14 PWM PST A-RGB 0db Black Fan - 140mm (SKU: FG-05C-AR) = £14.99
• 1 x Arctic P14 PWM PST A-RGB 0db White Fan - 140mm (SKU: FG-05D-AR) = £14.98

Total: £40.92 (includes delivery: £3.99)​

thanks for reply, looks good for front and top fans, anyone got any experience of these fans, think i want a slightly better one for the rear exhaust any thoughts?

ok thanks, i will have a think about it.

would i be better to get all the same fans so they all run at the same speed or is it ok to mix and match?
