Hello guys,

I have the following case http://www.corsair.com/en-us/carbide-series-200r-compact-atx-case. It has an airtake fan on the front and an exhaust on the back. I am looking for two or three more fans. I would like some suggestions on the placements and which fans to get (and where to place the AF and SP).


I was looking at these -

Really dunno which should be placed where.

Also, 120mm vs 140mm?

Thanks in advance!

For the front you would want the 120mm fans, the rear is also 120mm and you can actually put two 140mm fans on the top. The side also has rom for two 140mm fans.

I would personally do one in the front, one 140mm on the side and a 140mm on the top. If you can do 140mm it is normally better as 140mm will do the same air flow as 120mm at lower speeds, therefore quieter, or more air flow at the same speed and noise.

Also, get the AF. The SP are for high static pressure, they are designed for radiators that have smaller holes to push air through. The AF are designed for the best air flow.
