Case Fans/ General Help (Never Built a computer)

Speedmc33 · Apr 13, 2015

My build (in the making, also is my first build)

CPU : Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler

Mobo : Asus Z97-PRO(Wi-Fi ac) ATX LGA1150 Motherboard

Video Card : Gigabyte GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB WINDFORCE Video Card

Case : NZXT H440 (White/Black) ATX Mid Tower Case

I sort of want a blue/white color scheme and am currently looking at Corsair CO-9050017-BLED 66.4 CFM 140mm Fan but have no idea if they are compatible or how many I need. Again I have no prior knowledge about computer building. Thanks

Compatibility is as simply as looking at the case specs online and seeing if it has room for another 140mm fan. If it has room, any 140mm fan will work, they just screw in and plug in. Your case should come with fans which are usually enough fans as is.

You won't need to get it. The case comes with 4 fans included and your motherboard only supports 4 fans (including the second CPU fan connector).
The only way you can get another fan to fit is to get one that is connected directly to the PSU. Be warned- the fan speeds on those can't be controlled, so it may get a little loud.
You can fit up to 3 extra 140mm fans into the case.

The case comes with 3x120mm and 1x140mm. I guess you could switch out the case's fan with the Corsair. Either way, the fans that come with it are PLENTY even for overclocking.
