hey guys,

what blue LED 120/140mm fans are the best to go with?

im looking for silence and a decent amount of air to be pushed through a 240mm AIO cooler rad

my case is a CM storm trooper and i need 3 140mm and 2 120mm, this is how i will have them setup:

2x120mm intake
2x140mm roof intake (pulling air from outside through the rad)
1x140mm exhaust

is there anything i should change?

also have i got too much intake?

cheers

If you want fans for a rad you need a fan with high static pressure otherwise it wont really be as efficient working together with the rad as you need static pressure for rads.
 
Hi, if you look at the way to are setting your fans up, 4 intake to 1 exhaust fan the hot air from the rad into the case is going to have a hard time escaping. The hot air is being forced down towards your GPU, l would have it 2x140mm top fans exhaust + 1x 140mm fan exhaust / 2x 120mm fans intake. This will give you a better a flow through the case and cooler air inside the case for both the GPU and rad.
 
the rad will be either a h110 or a x60.

so the bitfenix is the best all rounder?

what about the silverstone air penetrator?
