After running some tests it appears my watercooled system is struggling due to a lack of cool air coming into the case so im planning on modding my 810 case and dropping a side intake fan on.

So im after a big air while being near silent, preferably without leds but could do white or orange leds on a black or white fan to feed the rads and 5 pull fans that are on them

Size isnt an issue ifm thinking bigger the better but that ist always true will be dropping a filter on it to act as a guard and to prevent dust build up
 
Well, the manufacturer cfm figures are not based on any real world testing, so that isn't going to tell you much.

Maybe someone else can give a recommendation, but cfm is the last thing you should look at.
 
Ok what should I be looking for i want to push as much cool air as possible while remaining quiet
 
If the 810 has the same side mounting system as the 820 then the NZXT case fans are spot on for this, I run one for intake and it's near on silent unless I turn it up to full speed on the fan controller.
 
I didn't realise the 820 panel fits the 810 I might just buy an 820 panel rather than risk modding mine
