Case Fans, Which Ones?

[AStaley]

I'm looking to change the case fans for my case, the current ones work okay but make a annoying whine/hum and I can't adjust the speeds as they aren't PWM.

What are the best fans to go for, I originally thought the best would be Noctua NF-A14's but some are saying the Arctic P14's might be better as the front fans sit behind a dust filter?

Thanks.

Thanks for the replies, think I will give the P14's a go, the P12's on my Freezer II have been fantastic and are really quiet. I have used the Noctua fans before and as has been said they do have a whine at certain speeds which I seem to be sensitive to.

**Also with the P14's you can daisy chain them so I can use one cable to connect it to my motherboard.

So I tried to install the P14's but they won't fit the fan bracket they are a fraction to high, so I ended up installing Noctua A14's. My only annoyance now is that I'm using extensions and two Y cables to connect them to a single header, I'll have to see about getting a 3 way splitter and tidying it up a bit. Otherwise it's working well, case is relatively silent and even have slightly better airflow over my M.2 slots/RAM dropping their temps nicely.
