What fans should I get?
This is the build : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/HQkXhM

So you can see i have a bunch of fans but I realized I dont have the right ones? So i would have put 3 120m in the front, 1 above the hd cages. Then 2 140ms on the kraken, and one as an exhaust. Are these correct fans, and what would the optimal locations be

Also you need Corsair SP120 fans not SP140's (140mm) Because the H110i uses 120mm fans.

Yes but swap the Corsair SP120 at the drive bays with a AF fan if possible.

Okay so i updated it : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/kqGqwP . So i have 2 120 af in the front as intake, and 1 sp 120 by the drive bays as intake. Then af 140 int he back as exhaust. 1 120 af in the top above drive bays. Then 2 sp 140s on the h100i. I replaced the kraken to keep a corsair atheistic

Yes, Corsair SP120 fans are designed to be put on a radiator, The AF fans are for Air-Flow, And arent very good for static pressure (Radiator) But the rest of your fan are fine, just put them in every available space pretty much, I have a the H440, So throw away the old fans and put them in their place (Make sure they are the same way round)

You should get 2 Corsair SP120 fans for the Kraken.
