Hello ,
I would like to ask on opinion or advice,about Meshify C case , was thinking about Front x3 120mm fans or 2x 140mm , i cant decide my build packages will arrive tomorrow and i need to pick one of these fans today.

My cpu cooler will be Air Cooler ,

I dont really care about dB, but i need good airflow. Was reading some forums and some ppl said 2x 140mm is the way to go?

Fans will be Corsair LL RGB series, or HD RGB cant really decide.

Thanks

The best is to lay out the specs of each and compare:

LL120
- 43.25CFM

LL140
- 51.5CFM

HD120
- 54.4CFM

HD140
- 74CFM

As you can see the 140MM does have a higher CFM but also it will have a lower noise ration. However in a case that can put three front fans either way will work well although the triple 120MMs should in theory move more total air:

3 LL120: 129.75CFM
3 HD120: 163.2CFM

2 LL140: 103CFM
2 HD140: 148CFM

The HD series moves more air than the LL although the LL has more RGBs to control with CUE. Also the HD120s hit around 30dBA vs 24.8dBA for the LL120s.

So in short the HD120s will more the most air overall, the HD140s will move close to it but slightly less while being a bit quieter and the LL series will, in my...

One thing to remember is with good input flow you need good flow out so I would match fans in the front, top and rear.

Thanks both for great and fast answers means much ,cuz in few minutes i need to make an order for the fans. ))


In conclusion i think the best for me or all around for the Meshify C case its be 2x 140mm front, 120x mm exhaust rear , and was thinking 1x140mm top as exhaust .
