So I've decided I'll be getting the cooler master n600 case, and fitting a 200mm fan (specifically a betfenix spectre pro) to the side panel.
The thing is, if I get the hyper 212 EVO, I'm not sure it'll be able to fit, so I'll have to mount it on the outside of the case.
Does anyone have experience with mounting 180/200/230mm fans outside of a case? Is there a lot more noise or will it affect the temps at all?
I was wondering I should do this or just get a hyper TX3 EVO instead (and mount the fan on the inside). I'm not overclocking, just getting a third party cooler for a quieter build, so the TX3 should be fine if I get that.
Option 3 is I could just get a pair of 120mm fans, but would this be much louder than a single 200? I've looked at pictures of the side panel and it looks like 120's would fit with the hyper 212.

Thanks in advance for any help
