okay, i have the masterliquid 240 and this is the specs of the fans that come with it
Fan
Fan Size
2 Fan Slots (120mm)
Fan Dim.
120.00 x 120.00 x 25.00mm
Fan RPM
650 - 2000 RPM (PWM) +/- 10%
Fan Air Flow
66.7 CFM (Max)
Fan Noise
6 - 30 dBA
Color
Black

so I would want two 4-pin 120mm fans right? would 2 of these be a good choice? https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-R4-BMBS-20PK-R0-Bearing-Cooling/dp/B0030DL37I/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1506284580&sr=1-1&keywords=120%2Bmm%2B4%2Bpin%2Bpwm%2B2000%2Brpm&th=1
and would it be worth it? cause the fans that come with it are coolermaster as well..

i want to change out all the fans in my case, i have an Phanteks Enthoo Pro Series case.. it has a 200 MM fan in the front.. i have the masterliquid 240 (nonpro) going to my ryzen 1800x, and I have a 140 MM fan in the rear

the front and rear fans are the ones that came with the case.. so for the back fan I was thinking about getting https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014PXH2U8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

and for the 200 mm fan https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NF-A20-PWM-premium-quality-quiet/dp/B071SLFBNY/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1506284836&sr=1-4&keywords=200+mm+fan

would u guys suggest something else? right now my temps are good.. the only fans that give me some noise.. almost a rattling noise when i put them on turbo for gaming... is the radiator fans.. thats why I thinking of replacing them as well..

I will show you guys all my readings so you can see what my temps and stuff was during load while gaming, my avg etc..

please let me know if you see a temp that is high that im not aware of.. the case came with a fan hub but i ended up not using it.. i cant remember why, im pretty sure the fans that I have arent 4 pin, thats another reason i was wanting to upgrade fans, to take advantage of the PWM

ill also mention that my MB is ASUS rog crosshair vi hero
my cpu is amd ryzen 7 1800x
16 gb (2X8) 3200 corsair vengeance
masterliquid 240 for cpu cooler

if you guys need more information to help me out, just let me know.. thank you in advance

I think I overlooked that you already own a Phanteks case.
In that case keep the front intake and the rear fan. Those are some of the best fans on the market.

Get the Noctuas for the AIO.

I can handle that price.. i mean I dont want to spend an outrageous amt on fans.. but I do want the best that I can get.. budget wise I was looking to spend tops around 20 each.. so u suggest two of those.. i would like to go all noctua, cause I know they are pretty much the best..
my config right now is the 200 pulls air in, the one in the back blows out, and the fans on the AIO is blowing out, and its mounted on the top of the case.. do you think the noctua 200 mm fan I was thinking about getting would be sufficient? should I also go with a noctua for the fan in the back in your opinion?

okay, so u think i should just use the fan that came with the case for the intake? okay, thank you for the suggestion.. was you able to take a look at the temps, if so, did everything look okay to you?

one last question.. right now i can either buy TWO 120 mm noctua static pressure fans 2000 rpm, will set me back over $50.. or buy the 200 mm fan for the front.. which do u think i should upgrade first? based on my temps that I have shown?

okay, so I did get the noctua fans.. and as of right now my cpu is running hotter.. i dont understand.. with my old fans I could actually run the aio fans on low and it wouldnt get hot, i would put them up to 2000 when i would game.. now if I do that my cpu gets to the 50 degrees in idle.. right now i have it on 2000 and its 31 degrees.. i have the 2 noctuas blowing air UP through the AIO and out the top of the case.. i had the foresight to RMA the fans on the AIO at the same time so I do have new fans from cooler master to put on it as well.. i just cant believe these noctuas arent doing a better job

UPDATE

so the next day I turn the computer on and its running awesome with the noctuas.. i wonder if its where i unhooked the AIO from the case and was moving it around to put the new fans on... cause now its running around 26 degrees on idle and 39 on load
