Im planning my build upgrade and I was wondering what is a good choice to replace my noctua fans for something better looking, I think they are f12 I would need to open my case to confirm, Im looking to get a few RGB and the rest In maybe black.

I have the Phanteks primo at the moment so you cant see them but if I was to upgrade the case to anything new im sure you could see them.
 
Noctua Chromax or Redux lines if you don't like the default colour scheme.

BeQuiet Silent Wings 3 for all-black and good looking. I tried one and returned it because they just aren't as good as Noctua.

If you want RGB Lian Li have released/are about to release a new line of fully software-customisable RBG fans which seem quite exciting for those who want that.
 
I was thinking Chromax but wanted to check if any other option was available.

As for RGB I have no idea Ive never really bothered with them before.
 
As long as you like the look of the Chromax editions then you really won't get better fans than Noctuas.

Otherwise many vouch for the BeQuiet ones I mentioned and personally I'd say they LOOK better than Noctuas.

If you want something cheaper the Arctic P12s (120mm) and P14s (140mm) perform only a little worse than Noctua but are a third of the price. These come in black or white and are good looking fans too. I own around 10 of them and can personally vouch for them as well as a very positive opinion about them across the internet.

Thanks that give me some options

I really like the Corsair ML120s, have 10 atm in my build. Used them for a few years.
