Behind the scenes:
They also make black and grey ones but ya the khaki ones I think are better, and they're the ones that come on the cpu coolers. I also don't like the look but after years of seeing them it's sort of grown on me. It's just if you're showing off your build with a glass/acrylic panel, what matches khaki and brown?
Look for the highest cfm fan that you can fit on your bucket. It will force circulate more air than your basic computer fan. More air flow = more evap = cooler. I went with this guy as an upgrade from last year, and it was quite the beast though my water pump gave out, which sucked. The fan worked as an amazing air circulator, so it wasn't all for naught. You could also bump up to the 14mm fan if you really want a bump up in performance and are okay with making some minor tweaks to your cooler bucket top
You can also try to have a fan direct on your cooler and another that you can aim attached to the output tube so that you can push the air in the direction that you would like.
Gentle typhoons are great; Noctua are also great. I think the best fans that you can buy are the Noctua iPPC 3000 fans.

They'll perform about the same as gentle typhoons at 2000 rpm, which is the limit of most GTs, but they'll also be able to spin up to 3000 if you need the extra power.

But it seems as if he's only here to earn money, he didn't even show a walkthrough of the computer build, he isn't a regular, he doesn't contribute to discussion. He posted multiple times like I've already mentioned and nothing has changed in all those posts.

I have a Noctua industrial fan laying around somewhere BNIB.
Is there a down side to using a single fan over a dual fan setup?
Trying to decide if it would be better to go with 2 of these silverstone pwm's or 1 of the noctras
https://www.amazon.com/Focused-NF-F12-iPPC-3000-PWM/dp/B00KFCRATC
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NOTVCN8
So all I need is 2 of these
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KFCRATC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_nXt7Ab9R0VB1K
Plus the pack of feet.
Got a link to the 3rd one?
Also do you get an error from changing the fans out??
I read some place that it will give you an error with out stock fans.
Do you have a single or two fan GPU? My single fan GTX 1060 never gets above 70°C. I have this fan on the bottom with a dust filter, for intake to cool the GPU. And I'm using the NH-D9L for the CPU, with a NF-A9 fan on the back of the case directly behind the CPU cooler, pushing air out the back.

There is a black version.
Noctua makes a non-ugly fans too, you just have to buy them seperatly.

if your waiting for those to fail, well good luck and i hope your very very very patient
Noctua makes some high-quality fans, and are quiet to boot. This fan from Noctua comes in black and brown, is non-rgb, and there are multiple versions of the fan available on Amazon.
There are vents and mounting holes for fans - 2 on top and 2 on bottom.
Here’s the rack
Couldn’t find any good small options locally. So I didn’t get any Craigslist’s steals.
These fans I’ve read good comments on cfm to noise ratio
Noctua Fan with Focused Flow and SSO2 Bearing, Retail Cooling NF-F12 iPPC 3000 PWM
I used to have a Noctua NH-D14. Replaced it with an H50 and gained improved idles, but under load after the water heated up, it couldn't keep up with it.
Now, I wish I had an NH-D15, but I have a small form factor build, so that's out of the question. I bought a Cooler Master "MasterLiquid Lite" because it was cheap, fit in my case, and is compatible with AM4. Seems to be performing on-par with the H50, only the pump is a bit quieter and the fin density on the radiator seems a bit higher, but don't quote me on that. The fan that came with it wasn't really getting the heat away fast enough with my overclock, but I have a Noctua industrial fan on it, and it does a much better job while staying pretty quiet.
Personally, I think the wraith cooler that came with my 1700 did a very good job, but if you want to OC or are worried about thermals, I'd personally take a big air-cooler over a water cooler any day. In my experience, they're much quieter (the good ones), and provide better thermals than a lot of the AIOs I've used. That includes some 240mms.
If you're leaving your speeds at stock, the wraith cooler is perfect and does its job quite well. I'd stick with it if you don't plan to push your system at all.
its a radiator, if you really want a noctua fans, get the industrial variants like this:
https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NF-F12-iPPC-3000-PWM/dp/B00KFCRATC
It's been an amazing case to build in, besides the free spinning hard drive cage screw and stuck drive but im not too worried about it. CAM software is pretty barebones but easy to work with at least.
These are the fans I was looking at: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NF-F12-iPPC-3000-PWM/dp/B00KFCRATC&ved=2ahUKEwjsvLfNs8HjAhWGm-AKHb18CtQQFjAAegQICBAC&usg=AOvVaw3H9CCWPNxKsSjwxQmKfCEk
I'm a fan of their Noctua NF-F12 fans for my case fan needs.
2000 RPM/3-pin and 3000 RPM/4-pin varieties.
Not the typical Noctua colors, which is also nice.
Slap this filter on the top fan mount.
Then, get three of these bad boys for use as intake on the top and front. Remove the exhaust fan on the back.
You'll need to tweak your fan curves because those fans are loud as your refrigerator at max speed.
Well you can get their industrial fans, I think these will work on the D14 but you might want to call Noctua about the D15 if you want the bigger one. You could also just spray paint the fans (not the heat sink!)

Edit: this fan worked for a D15 user
