I am doing my first build with the nzxt s340 case. I am going to use an amd fx8350 with noctua nh-c14s fan, a gigabyte 4gb nvidia 960 which is an internal exhaust card.

I want to change the case fans to corsair's sp and/or af series. My question is, should I only use quiet af series (2×140mm front, 2x120mm back) or should I buy SP ones in the front and AFs in the back for exhaust? There isn't much in the case to disturb the airflow, hence my dilemma.

Thank you for your answers.

Have the airflow balanced with both the front and back fitted with either AF or SP fans and have them matched rpm wise. I would like to stress that Corsair fans may be cheap but they are pretty much what you're getting price wise, not good, and perhaps for a little more you can get a better set of fans. Intake should equal to exhaust. 2 intakes, 2 exhausts.

SP=Static Pressure fans are better for confined spaces like heat sinks and radiators,
while
AF=Air Flow fans are better for well air flow and aren't made to cool fins or tight spaces

You may want to look into other fan makers though it'd help us to know your budget(and possibly your color scheme).
