Fan me up......120mm fan recommendations

[Spunjcake]

Hi gang

Just completed a new build that I am super happy with but currently running the case without fans, as there is LITERALLY too much choice and I ended up in a divide by zero error in my head

I am fortunate in that the case is super venty and probably doesn't need much in the way of big blowing

However, I went with the nuclear ball of heat that is the Ryzen 7 5800X and am currently trying to tame it with a BQ Dark Rock 4. I like the simplicity of air, not a mad overclocker or anything etc and haven't seen any crazy temps yet (apart from a brief foray into P95 that hit 90 in a heartbeat :/)

So, I want to start moving some air round the case. I have space for 3 120's at the front, I also hate RGB, its just turd so I am looking for clean, quiet and efficient as the build is essentially silent right now on air.

BQ fans are lovely but too 'spensive, as are Noctuas. Just no budget for that I am afraid.

I was close to pulling at the Artic 120 F12's but got confused between P12, F12, static pressure optimized blaaaah

So just popping my head up for real world user recommendations rather than trusting site reviews.

Thanks
Andy

Actually sorry, i have room for 120mm×3/140mm×2 at the front if it makes a diff

That is super stuff gents, thanks for that. I think that is decided.

Yeah, I have a 3070 FE that I did not expect to run so hot in the mix too and suspect that it is bathing the CPU cooler in hot air so if I can push some cool through it should help.

I know I am asking a lot of the Dark Rock but I had hoped a premium air cooler should have been ok. Hope this helps.

Thanks again guys

Andy
