Hello

I would like to ask help on purchasing 2 fans for the front panel of my case as my computer currently has one fan at the top back, the computer is rather loud at full load when my room is rather clammy on hot days or/and just after 4+hours of work.

I would like to add 2 fans to keep it cools so my card and CPU fan do not have to work so hard as they use more power to do so.

Any suggestions would be grateful.

Thanks

Corsair air series

Thanks for the quick reply.

Will there be enough fan slots on my board for them and is there anywhere i can get them cheaper than £30 for a twin pack?

Thanks

Not really, try scan or overclockers, ans if there isn't you can get solitters or power directly from osu

I would highly recommend the Corsair SP120 Quiet Edition fans. They run pretty quiet, provide great airflow through panels, and if your motherboard has 4 pin headers, then you can also use some Silverstone PWM splitters. I use all SP120s in my setup along with the PWM splitters and it stays extremely cool.

Should i get the SP120 or the AF140 ones. The AF140 look better for the front panel but what would you recommend?

Thanks.

Af are better I'd say

do i have enough headers of the right type?

It should have enough and they are compatible

The AF series does push out more air. I have had both but I still prefer the SP120s. I prefer to have a more quiet machine and they do still push out quite a bit of air and do well through panels because of their greater static pressure. Either way you are still getting great fans and either will perform great.

I personally would get the AF series.
