Hi,

I recently purchased and built my new gaming PC and I am using the Corsair Carbide Series 300R Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139011

Would you please help me pointing which and how many additional extra fans should I install ?
if you can please point me to the most silent and efficient 120mm or 140mm case fans. Because the new system which I built is very silent even under full load and I want to keep it like that, as most as coolest and silent possible as I can . For example I am using the SAPPHIRE VAPOR-X 100362VXSR Radeon R9 290 4GB 512-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 CrossFireX Support TRI-X OC (UEFI) Video Card which is very silent even under full load. And also I am using the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120 mm PWM Fan .


I was thinking to install 1 extra intake 140mm fan in the front and 2 extra outlet 120 mm fans on top of the case together with 2 Silverstone FF143B 140mm Ultra Fine Fan Filters with Magnet (Black) http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811999257&cm_re=silverstone_ff143b_filter-_-11-999-257-_-Product

I went over the reviews of Silenx fans and they say that they are really silent but they only push decent amounts of air.

Are the Cooler Master SickleFlow 120 - Sleeve Bearing 120mm ones and 140mm ones http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103090 both silent and with very good air flow so they are more worthy for me to buy them ?

considering my below rig, would my 750W PSU have still enough power left to power up my whole system if I put 1 x 140mm on front and 2 x 120mm on top of these Cooler Master SickleFlow - Sleeve Bearing fans in my 300r case?:

I personally am happy with Silenx fans, which you can also find on newegg. I would use the front fans as intake, and the back and top of the case as exhaust. Wouldnt hurt to have the side mounts pointing at the graphics card. The real point though is having a good airflow going in and and the warm air going out.

The Silenx fans, like most other "quiet" fans, are quiet due to the fact that they spin at lower rpm's. So having good open space to allow for that air flow in the case is essential.

Ive seen the Coolermaster fans, and they could very well do the job you are looking for. Also, Corsair makes their own line of fans, which have rubberized grommets to help reduce vibration where they are mounted.

so I decided to go with Corsair Air Series SP120 (CO-9050011-WW) 120mm PWM Quiet Edition High Static Pressure Fan for the exhaust fan on top and with the Corsair Air Series AF140 Quiet Edition CO-9050009-WW 140mm High Airflow Case Fan for the intake fan on front, with only these two fans because I read that my motherboard only has 3 case fan power connectors and 2 cpu fan power connectors and I currently have 3 of these connectors already in use for my cpu fan and 2 case fans.

my question here, if I will install these 2 additional Corsair case fans, will my PUS and motherboard still have enough room to power up all my above mentioned system ? will there be any damages to my system?
Or my system with the two additional Corsair fans should be fine and even have more power left unused as a reserve (for overclocking purposes,etc) ?

The 750W PSU is more than enough to handle all these fans and still do overclocking.
