Sorry if this is in the wrong section but i am going to start ordering parts for my new build and want to know if there is a differance between getting 120x25mm case fans for a Antec P180b case or if getting 120x38mm fans is better? Anyone have any experiance with the following and is one better for the money than the others?

The choices are: Silverstone FM121 (120x25mm)
Scythe S-Flex (120x25mm)
Yate-Loon (120x25mm)
SilenX iXtrema pro (120x38mm)
(other worthy case fan)
The case already comes with three stock 120x25mm fans. Should I bother replacing any of them for better performance/noise or just get two more. One for the front (intake) and another for the middle (over the video card(s))?

Thanks in advance!

Im not entirely sure if all cases support 38mm ones, other look like good fans from what iv'e heard, but I cant fully help considering I have a Sonata 2 case.

Hopefully someone that can help you better will.

i would try it with the stock fans first they have 3 speeds soo can you can try slow and silent or fast and noise see what the temps are like and if fast makes any differnec. if i was going to add a fan i would would add 1 120x25 in the lower part of top section sucking air in but you can only put one there if you arnt using the hdd slots.

I should only be using 2 HDD slots, so that fan space should be open, thanks for the info!
