new fans for my new case and build

silent · 2 Feb 2016 at 10:50

hi

i have a OCUK value 240 kit which is going to be replaced with some new tubing and a new XSPC 170 proton res/pump combo. i am using the original waterblock and 240 mm rad, i'm only cooling the cpu. the case is a corsair air 540.

i have 2 x alpenform white fans that came with the kit but there chunky. are there any nice low profile fans i can fit instead? i may be some blue LED ones as my build has a blue mobo and royal blueish water - everton theme.

Not low profile, but these fit the blue led theme.

I've got a couple of the 140mm red versions on one of my radiators & run them at 800rpm.
Pretty quiet at that speed & cool well enough.

I don't think there's much difference at the same rpm

I got four of them, really small and nice looking. I'll have two on my rad and one at reader and one at front
