How many fans do i need in my case ?
I have AMD FX 6300 cooled by a hyper 212 evo and a AMD R9 280x
What are some good red led fans (quiet) ? i was thinking corsair AF series or the bit fenix specter pro ?

Thanks Ben

There are lots of case fans that provide quiet cooling, too many to list really - All you need to know is find the best combination of air movement vs noise vs cost.
www.quietpc.com has some good info on each of the fans out there =)

As for how many you need, well that depends on how hot your system is getting. A typical setup would normally have at least 2 case fans, one in the front, one at the back. Given your GPU, I would say 4 would be better.
1 at the front, 1 at the back, 1 at the side(if possible) and 1 at the top (if possible). Depending on your environment, I find negative pressure works best, so have the front sucking in air, all the others push out - but this is my personal opinion here hehe =)

Hope this helps

I was thinking if i get 3 bit fenix pro spectere fans (3 120 mm or 2 120 mm and 1 140 mm) and use positive pressure because i have a fan mount undnder mu case which will bring air directly on to my GPU and plug them in to my only 3 fan headers on my board and disconnecting all the other fans that came with the case (like the noisy 80 mm ones ) and see how my temperatures look . i can always get another fan and use a fan splitter to get one more fan header .
Thanks for your answer
