I need 3x fans but not sure what type ?

Hi

I need 3x 120mm fans for the front of my new pc case. They will be close firing to my hard drive cage, so I need a particular fan that works better in tighter air space.

Ideally quiet as well, any recommendations?

Money is no issue

Thanks

What case is it ?

How did you get on setting your memory speed?

Looks like a Corsair Graphite 780T. If it is then the OP needs 140mm fans not 120mm.

Yes that's correct. The 780T can fit 3x 120mm front fans.. I think it can only fit 2x 140mm fans?

I thought 3x 120mm would be better than just 2x 140mm?

Memory is working perfectly

Do you want 4 pin pwm fans which a more speed controllable or case fans.

Do you have rnough fan headers on your motherboard to control them or maybe get a fan splitter cable.

The arctic p12 120mm are good fans and are very reasonably priced although the nocuta fans are slightly quieter but those come in at around 4x the costs.

Going to order today, thanks all

Airflow would roughly be about the same depending on the fans chosen. Artic Fans are good value for money & are quiet so you wont be disappointed.

Similar performance, maybe. But 2 X 140mm would be quieter doing it.
