Reddit mentions of Corsair Air Series AF120 LED Quiet Edition High Airflow Fan Twin Pack - White

Also, pick up a couple of 120mm case fans for better airflow and cooling

Corsair Air Series AF120 LED Quiet Edition High Airflow Fan Twin Pack - White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F6S13DE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_mXUIDbZ52HTGS

I just went to store and confirm, it is $14.99 for two fans. Bought 3 packs. This is in general price, you can get them online as well.

Blue: http://www.microcenter.com/product/423763/Air_Series_AF120_LED_Blue_Quiet_Edition_Case_Fan_Twin_Pack

Red: http://www.microcenter.com/product/423765/Air_Series_AF120_LED_Red_Quiet_Edition_Twin_Pack

Choose between Blue or Red. Mind that $14.99 is normal price for one of these fan and I never seen them go below $10/fan.

Edit: White on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F6S13DE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1.

I have this case as well. Just wondering if I could get [these] (https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-AF120-Quiet-High-Airflow/dp/B00F6S13DE/ref=pd_cp_147_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00F6S13DE&pd_rd_r=FXF2CF9YPEZQYTE561SH&pd_rd_w=WmDFM&pd_rd_wg=NzSiG&psc=1&refRID=FXF2CF9YPEZQYTE561SH) fans as I could get two for the price of one. Or if I should just get the 140mms

Congrats on your build. I'd highly recommend doing some cable management to route your cables behind the motherboard. It'll help with airflow and it should be relatively easy to do.

Regarding fans, Noctuas are always a great choice. I'd also recommend looking into the Corsair AF Series. Slightly louder, bit cheaper, and you have the option of LEDs. Regarding RAM, the B450 should be able to overclock your RAM to 3000 Mhz without much trouble so I'd definitely recommend it since it'll give you a nice performance boost. Can also OC your 2600x a good bit as well!

Agreed; was just funny how Strawberry 644 told OP it would be nice but simultaneously useless ;)


In any case, this would be affordable and complement the lighted theme:


Heatsink: Cooler Master Hyper 212


Fans for Heatsink (x2): Corsair Air Series AF120


I have the same (except Red LEDs since it matches my rig more so) and it looks amazing (and of course temps are down).


Edit: Crappy picture of mine

I only have these two fans on i7-6700K air cooled and GTX1070; no OC. Things runs cool. Love the look of the case. Got the white version for $60.

Yes, Corsair air series, AF120mm

I hear the phanteks fans are more quiet.

Those AF120's are much cheaper new than you are selling them for:

http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-AF120-Quiet-High-Airflow/dp/B00F6S13DE

Also, the SP120's are actually SP120L fans.

Any "quiet edition" fan like these should do the trick.

Does anyone have any pictures of a red/black case with white fans like these I'm looking to illuminate my case but don't want it with all red (with the red corsair fans), the mobo is red/black and it is the red/black s340 case. Thinking it would be better to get them fans rather than an white led strip so I can kill two birds with one stone by adding the fans to the empty slots as well.

Can anyone recommended some good chassis fans? I recently just ordered 4 Corsair af120 for $50 from amazon, not sure if this is worth it or not.

I am linking the one sold and shipped by Amazon, not the third party seller. link to all vendors

Corsair Air Series AF120

Glad I helped.

Your temperatures seem to be completely safe. 71 degrees is absolutely fine for your components, and you shouldn't worry about it. You should only be concerned if temperatures start exceeding 75-80 degrees.

As /u/Dyzleksi suggested, you could move the PC out of the furniture if you have room. This most likely will make the PC slightly cooler, and therefore a little quieter. If you want to make a huge difference to noise and heat, there are many options for cheap but quality fans:

You should start with a CPU cooler like this. This is one of the most popular ones on the market, I have one myself and it is silent.

Any aftermarket case fans will typically do the job much more effectively and quietly. Noctua is a good choice, as is Corsair. If you aren't willing to spend that much, cheaper options will also be a large improvement.

Bear in mind that case fans greatly affect overall performance. How many case fans do you currently have? (These are the fans attached to the case itself, not to components.) Most cheaper cases come with only 1 fan on the front (intake). You should install at least 1 more on the rear or top of the case as exhaust, for a total of 1 intake and 1 exhaust fan.

Grounding should not affect the temperatures or cooling at all. It is a precaution you can take while handling the components to avoid damaging them with static electricity. Many people (myself included) do not bother with grounding and get on just fine. In future, though, you should tap a metal object such as the side panel of the PC before touching any hardware.

If you have any more questions, I'm always here to help.

How's this looking? (Final edits)

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7PwsGG

I am also looking at this pack of fans.

https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-AF120-Quiet-High-Airflow/dp/B00F6S13DE/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=pc%2Bcase%2Bfan&qid=1554276770&s=gateway&sr=8-3&th=1

Por que no los dos?

Seriously though, any of the options you listed are fine: one more exhaust, one more intake, do nothing. They are all valid.

For the typical single CPU, single GPU PC, having one intake and one exhaust fan helps a lot.

Beyond that, there started to be diminishing returns.

If your temps are fine, then don't stress about it too much.

These are highly reccommended. Looking for a pair of case fans for sub $40 CAD for the build - input?

here

Thank you VERY much! If I could ask you just one more question, would I be able to install one of these on the EVO (replacing the stock fan) and another (same size) on the rear exhaust, once again replacing the stock fan.

Thanks again for your help!

Corsair Air Series AF120 LED Quiet Edition High Airflow Fan Twin Pack - White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F6S13DE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_bPSvzb2KKW4YK

I have them in my am3 build. https://s10.postimg.org/7lnf6qj49/20170604_223009.jpg

There are generally two kinds of fans:

• Airflow fans - quieter, move a lot of air, but aren't so good when there is resistance to airflow (e.g. radiator).
  
  
• Static pressure fans - a little noisier, but much better when you are trying to push air through small holes.
  
  Case fans tend to be more on the Airflow side.
  
  As an example, there is a sale on amazon.ca right now for some air flow fans (one without LEDs! Sorry about the other two):
  
  
• Corsair 140 mm
  
  
• Corsair 140 mm (White LED)
  
  
• Corsair Twin-pack of 120 mm (White LED)
  

I'm set for the Cryorig M9i cooler, but as for the case fan, should I keep my preinstalled? It doesn't look to be of good quality, and if I should replace it, I found a nice pair of Corsair fans (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F6S13DE/ref=twister_B00F93ZIEG?_encoding=UTF8&th=1). Not sure if these are of any better quality than the preinstalled, but if it isn't, I'll stick with the Noctua P12 redux.

Those are a bit expensive for fans IMO. I guess I'm just used to spending $5-10 for a fan. How does it compare to this one?

https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-AF120-Quiet-High-Airflow/dp/B00F6S13DE

What case do you have? Here a good deal: http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-AF120-Quiet-High-Airflow/dp/B00F6S13DE/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1458224802&sr=8-10&keywords=120mm+fan

Posted this question yesterday, but hope I've got a better chance here.

At the moment my only case fan is a 200mm intake fan. I want to add two case fans(one exhaust, one to cool the VRM) to get temps and noise down.

I've been looking at the following fan packs, all from Corsair:

• Air SP120
  
• Air AF120
  
• ML 120
  
  Which of these would be best for my intended use, or is there a better option with two fans for under €30?
  
  Thanks!

Unless you're comfortable about overclocking, don't bother with DDR4 3400. It's a huge pain to configure DDR4 to run at the high Mhz that it advertises itself as.

You should try to find a 4x8GB 2400Mhz kit in the $100 range to get quad channel goodness instead.

Here is a 4x8GB 2400Mhz DDR4 kit for around $115 after the 15% off coupon.

Your motherboard only has 4 memory stick slots, so I recommend getting a large amount of ram now - 32GB in one quad channel kit. (If you use all 4 slots for 16 GB now, you'll have to buy all new sticks to have more ram in the future. If you get just two sticks now, getting two more in the future might have compatibility issues with quad channel support.)

You should follow the other people's advice and get a smaller SSD and a 1TB HDD. WD Black is a good choiice. This will save you money and make a better PC.

The case you have is great, but I recommend picking up a couple more fans to help with cooling. This is a fine budget choice. They have different color LED's too.

I'm looking to add some case fans to my computer.

Here's the case I have

Here's the motherboard I have

The only fans I have are the two that come with the case, the front, bottom and top back. The top two are horizontal and either 120mm or 140mm, the bottom one is horizontal and 120mm, and the front one is vertical and 120mm.

As far as price, I'm fine with spending a bit of money, but I'd prefer something that isn't too pricey. [This] (http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-AF120-Quiet-High-Airflow/dp/B00F6S13DE/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1463272052&sr=8-5&keywords=corsair+fan) is what I was thinking of getting, but I saw that they were sleeve-bearing, and I've been told to avoid them. Any suggestions?

I am getting two of each of these.
