I'm getting a Noctua NH-U12 cpu cooler for my future rig and i want to replace the included fan with cooler master jetflo 120 red LED.

the only reason I'm considering to replace the fans is because I want my computer to have a red led look.

are they compatible?

Any fans that are the same size (Ie 140mm) will work.

Yes they are compatible. Keep in mind the noise of the jetflows. You get the "jet sound" too. I would keep the fan if I were you, but that is all up to you.

Why not use some SP120 quiet editions with the red color ring around the frame? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Or even better, some Corsair SP120 Red LED fans (just don't orientate them horizontally). http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Yes you can but the fans that are with the cooler are superior for cooling , ignore the color they are fantastic fans.
