Changing stock case fans from Phanteks P600s- Want cooler temps&rgb

Andy Pandy · 21 Apr 2022 at 15:24

Hi all. I am using a Phanteks P600s computer case with the stock fans installed but I am wondering which rgb fans to replace them with. I am wanting to have better fans which cool better and not be loud, the quieter the better, also I'd like them to be RGB.

My motherboard and graphics card are Asus so they use Aura sync which I have no issues with. Do I go with Corsair or Be Quiet! or anything else? The fans in my case are 140mm made by Phanteks but I don't know much more than that.

Thanks!

I'm liking the look of the BeQuiet ones a lot.

Corsair you need to install their icue software, the be quiet ones connect to your header on the motherboard and you control it with the Manufactures software.

I don't mind using the Corsair software. What would be better for cooling and quietness?

Think I've decided on the Corsair ML140 RGB Elite 140mm fans. It's cheaper to buy packs of the 2x bundle so I'll do that. Do I need a Corsair Commander Pro or XT to go with it? The 2x fan bundle comes with a lightning node but that will just be for the RGB and not to control the fan speeds?

The Corsair ML140 fans are good I take it? They will provide good cooling for the case and look nice with the rgb too I hope.

Ordered the corsair fans and commander xt. :cool:

Corsair fans are OK. Not sure about RGB longevity on their fans, but works fine.
When you get a kit, at least when I bought some, the RGB hub would allow more fans attached than the ones supplied. That would allow to buy some single units and hook to the same hub.
Ended up getting kits as they were cheaper than single packets (rainforest sale) and the extra hub would be a nice spare part).
Corsair app works fine.
Some people like it, some hate. I simply don’t mind. Never had issues with any app except the EKWB first gen hub, which would lose settings at random.

using a P600s but water cooled. stock fans are quite but poor air flow. You can also remove the dust filter. Just stick some Arctic P12 or P14 fans on it.
