Case fan/Fan controller

[TomProx]

Was just wondering, if it would be better for case cooling if i get 3 decent 120mm fans and a 140mm fan and adjust them to noise level and air flow desired. the case i currently have is 2 antec tricool exhausts was looking at the NZXT 2 fan controller

Any recommendations on fans are welcomed, cheers.

1) What is your problem?
cooling? CPU or gpu?
noise?
Unfortunately, improving one aspect comes at the expense of the other.

2) What case do you have? The Antec tricool fans have three speeds, and will be normally adequate.
A separate fan controller will give you finer control over the exact speed, but is largely not needed.

3) What cpu cooler do you have?

4) What graphics card/s do you have?

Well, I'm planning on ordering parts for a computer next week.

I want good cooling but quiet if possible.

Ive bought the Antec 300
I'm planning on buying the cooler master 212+
The graphics card im getting is the XFX 6870 black edition dual fan.

Cheers.

Best to try out the stock fans and see how you do.
You can always change things our later.

Once you go down the quiet computing path, there seems to be no stopping.

Yeah i might just have the antec tricools on medium, i just need to find out the inside temps of my comp when its built, any ideas how i can do that?

Use realtemp or speedfan.
