Hi All,

With fan prices from £2 - £45, how much do you have to pay to get something half decent?

I've just recently purchased a BeQuiet! Pure Base 500DX case which comes with 3x Pure Wings 2 140mm fans.

I'll be running a Ryzen 9 7900X CPU with Peerless Assassin 120 cooler and RTX 2070 GPU but the GPU will be upgraded at some point to something more current.

I'm thinking that three fans wont be sufficient, I was thinking I'd want 3 at the front, 2 at the top and 1 exhaust.

Obviously with it being a BQ case I'm tempted to go for BQ fans, but I noticed some other cheaper options such as these:

Would you pay the extra for the BQ fans? The Bitfenix would about 1/6 - 1/8th of the price!

Also what do you think THESE would look like in THIS through the mesh? Not noticeable / Cool effect / ridiculous?

Thanks
