best noctua case fans for my case?

Brayden Kelly · Apr 11, 2015

I have a fractal design define r4 and I want noctua fans, preferably quiet ones, I need 140mm and 120mm fans, which ones do you recommend?? I have 2 gtx 980's so I will still need a bit of performance for cooling, but Still quiet. Please help

i would get the black ones 2000rpm pwm they come in 120 and 140mm

esco_sid :

Are they quiet?

Brayden Kelly :

noctua makes one of best fans period those fans are PWM controlled so they will be loud on full blast 2000rpm but they can be controlled so if you run them at like 1400 they will be quiet.

So your saying I should just look for a pwm fan because noctua fans are already quiet as it is?

And could you recommend a model to me please?

i am going to get 7 of the nf-a14 pwm fans so i can install them in all of the mounts. hopefully keeps things cool and still remains pretty quiet

Brayden Kelly :

honestly if you get like 3 of em you would be fine you dont need 7 lol

Try and keep it balanced, intakes and exhaust the same, and side mount fans are not a good idea unless used as exhaust. The 980s run pretty cool to begin with,so I'd not use side fans. They tend to mess up airflow,

im hoping this setup will do fine. it has no side fans, just airflow going out the back.

That's a pretty good airflow pattern. If you are not using the hdd cage though, it'll help airflow some by removing the larger one.

I think this can help you to choose 120mm fans
