NZXT Phantom optional fans?

Hi,

I was wondering what additional fans people had installed (if any) in their Phantoms? Any recommendations?

Thanks!

I've got a extra 200mm on the top & side panel with a 140mm at the front. Make sure you you get the NZXT 200mm fans though as they are different sizes when compared to other makes.

Also you need to take into account that with the 200mm on the side it reduces the available height you have for your CPU cooler.

Cheers for that - I don't think there's much chance of getting the side 200mm on as I've got a Silver Arrow which is the size of a small country. Did you find the extra 2 fans made much difference to cooling?

Also, it looks like the NZXT 200mm fan has to be ordered from the states!? :eek:

Did notice a decrease in temps but not sure which fans did this as I added them all at the same time.

As I have the side fan I had to go with a NH-C14 as its low profile (coming tomorrow!)

You should be able to get them in the UK.... if OcUK doesn't stock them (i did ask when i was looking) the large forrest should have a couple.

I've ordered an extra 200mm top fan and a 140mm front fan. I'd rather have them from the outset. Cheers!
