Hey everyone!

I'm getting a new PC with a Cooler Master HAF X and I need help.

I'm a complete newbie when it comes to cooling.

I want to know what fans should I buy and what should I do to get the best cooling performance possible.

It's just air cooling and the CPU heat-sink will be either Thermalright Silver Arrow SB-E Extreme or Noctua NH-D14.

TL;DR: Which fans to get, where to put them and how to configure them.

thanks!

well the nh-d15 was or did come out this month. I have replaced all the fans in mine with the red led coolermaster fans but i wanted to try the side fan with a diff company. I went with the bitfenix spectre pro or something like that which moves ALOT of air but its loud. Not because its moving air i think its the actual motor on it. before my case was pretty much silent but not with that fan its very audible so i would say stay with the CM 200mm fans
