hi just looking for the best fans for exhuasting my case, i am not fussed on sound at all so just what ever is the best in dragging/pushing heat is all i am looking for. the sizes must be 120mm and i am looking at getting 4

Akasa ioers shift a lot of air, as do the Noctuas. Look for high cfm.

i saw some noctuas at 3,000 rpm thought they looked solid. if there is anything with more kick i will take not fussed on pricing either.

So you want fans for exhausting case air. Where is the air coming from? Case can't exhaust air that isn't first flowing into case, so good intake fans are first priority, not exhaust fans. With good intake and enough exhaust venting exhaust fans are not even needed with temp being basically the same at same noise levels .. same principle as cooler or radiator only having front fans instead of push/pull. Push/pull only improves temps at full speed and then by only a couple degrees. Single fan running 50-100rpm faster (at same noise level as push pull) cools the same as push/pull.

the changes i have made on my pc now since that thread is: ryzen gen 3, new mobo new water cooling system, i got the TT ring plus aio. rest is still the same.

if you want fans that move a lot of air and don't care about the sound then have a look at the masterfan pro 120mm air flow

I agree with Doyll, you need air coming in fast too.

You need this

Looks like @doyll was right!

Arctic fans are amazing. My new favorite.
I used noctua for years but after using the P14 PWM PST and Arctic P12 PWM they push more air and are quieter IMHO and a fraction of the cost.
