Hi,

I have some random questions about cooling and fans:

- Do you know if a Corsair H100i will fit in the Fractal Design Define XL R2 case ? If yes, will it be possible to do a push/pull configuration ?

- What fans do you recommend to replace the stock 140mm fans of the Define XL and the stock 120mm fans of the H100i ?

I was looking on Newegg.ca and I and I found these fans that seems to have good feedbacks.

Aerocool Shark 140 (also avaible in 120mm):

Prolimatech Blue Vortex 140 (also avaible in 120mm):

Bitfenix Spectre Pro 140 (also avaible in 120mm):

Cougar Vortex HDB 140 (also avaible in 120mm):

The H100i should be fine up top but not sure on the P/P, you can P/P with an Arc Midi R2 though.

Have not kept up much with fans, if your looking for 3pin fans the Noctua makes great fans now, but a lot of people say the GT-15 is the very best 120mm radiator fan you can buy at in the $20 range for the noise and smooth rpm curve, 800-1800rpm and good pressure.

I would tend to favor the Thermalright X-Silent for low speed , for high speeds, the Aerocool Shark in 140mm.
