Good 140mm and a 120mm fans to match my build?

[mopardude87]

I just got a 2070 yesterday and maybe its just me or something but have a look and see whats wrong with my build. I have a love hate relationship with the noctua fans and am considering swapping them out for something with perhaps ballpark 65cfm to match my rear. I may consider some higher cfm models if the noise is acceptable. Being able to plug them into the mother will be very important. Gonna replace the entire set of 4 for sure.

Been out of the game on the latest flashy fans,i saw some reviews on various fans and went with the noctuas but over time especially with the 2070 the noctuas stand out like a sore thumb, Any recommendations will be greatly valued! Thank you 🙂

If you're happy with the performance of the Noctua fans, but want to improve their colors, the Noctua 24V industrial series in serious black do that.

Unlike the 12V industrial series, the 24V are very quiet at low rpm. I've used the 3000rpm 140mm versions (1600rpm on 12V) on D14/D15 and perform as well or better than stock. And look cool doing it. The 2000rpm version (1100rpm on 12V) makes a superb intake fan.

See ehume's 24V fan review here: https://www.overclockers.com/noctua-24-volt-fans-and-chromax-review/

The Darkside PWM GT is a great 120mm option.

If you can tolerate some black 'n white, the Thermalright TY147 is a very good 140mm option.

For RGB mayhem... I suggest a cheap set of VR glasses. ;-)

Thanks, great reviews (I hadn't seen them reviewed b/4). Damn pricey though 😱

I have three of these for my intakes, and I really like them (they are dead silent): https://www.newegg.com/be-quiet-bl067-case-fan/p/1YF-001D-00014

They also have a higher RPM version if you want a little more performance: https://www.newegg.com/p/1YF-001D-00017

High Noctua Fashion is never going to be cheap. 🙂

The high cfm ones look good. I am curious if there is anything close to it though also in RGB? Certainly bookmarking those though thanks. So many fans to choose from its a bit much.

Noctua has the black Chromax fans. A little pricey.
