So my fractal design meshify c case comes with 2 120mm fans and I'm planning either 2 140mm corsair ml fans or 2 120mm corsair ml fans, for the same price. so which should I get and I know the 2 120's and 2 140's should theoretically do better than the 4 120's but I still want to ask.

Well the 140mm has a larger surface area than the 120mm so that means they can run slower but still move the same amount of air = less noise.

If the 140mm and the 120mm run at the same speed the 140mm will move more air.

I would have gone with 140mm over 120mm just to lower the noise.

Three front intakes and one exhaust.

Concentrate on INPUT.
All that comes in the front will exit SOMEWHERE, taking your component heat with it.
A single 120mm exhaust at the rear will be good to direct the airflow.
You will have a "positive pressure" airflow arrangement.
If all the front intake is filtered, your case will stay cleaner.
Any significant exhaust addition will tend to draw in unfiltered air from adjacent openings, reducing your case cleaning.
