Should I replace my case fans?

[Dan_P]

Hi All,

Looking for a little bit of advice, I currently have my rig in an NZXT Noctis 450 case (Link here) with the CPU cooled by a Corsair H115i and a G1 Gaming 980Ti. I am trying to work out if I would see improvements in overall temperatures if I replaced the included case fans to better quality fans?

My fan options are below:
Front: 2 x 140mm or 3 x 120mm (3 x 120mm currently)
Rear: 1 x 140mm or 1 x 120mm (1 x 140mm currently)

If it doesn't sacrifice too much I would prefer RGB fans to fit the other lighting in my rig.

If it helps - full rig is in my signature.

Thank you in advance,
Dan

So do you have 2 140mm fans installed in the front and 1 140mm in the rear already? If so, buying new fans won't likely make much difference. There's not much between 2 140mm fans and 3 120mm fans either.

Do you have the H115i installed in the roof? If so I can't think what else you could do with the fans alone to your temps. Which temp were you looking to lower?

I have 3 x 120mm (NZXT case) fans in the front, 1 x 140mm (NZXT case) fan in the back and the h115i with its two Corsair fans mounted to the roof. I was generally hoping to increase air flow and reduce overall temperatures while also adding more RGB effect.
