i'm building an 800d rig w/ a sandy bridge 2500K and an H70 and was hoping i could get some advice. I want a blue theme but not really sure what the best fans are to replace the case fans with.... any recommendations? i'm going to be overclocking in the future and dont want to sacrifice temperature for looks. appreciate the help..
 
What would folks recommend for quiet non-fan controller and non-led look?
 
The fans that were linked will not work as there 120mm and the fans in the 800D are 140mm. I'm looking at getting Nosieblockers to replace mine. There 94cfm at only 27db. Im probly only going to run them at 7v to cut down on the noise. There are not alot of choises when it comes to 140mm fans.
 
Yea i was going to put 3 120mm on top of the case for exhaust and putting the H70 w/ the 140mm for push pull through the radiator. I would also like to put a 140mm fan on the bottom tray of the case next to the hd bay pulling in air and a 120mm fan right on top of that pushing towards the video card....
i was curious as to which 120mm fans people are using on there cases and which people recommend
 
I'm using GT 1850's up top and on the rear exhaust (tho they're mounted on rads). For the bottom 140mm I have a Yate-Loon D14SM-12, decent bit better then the stock one.
 
Here's my plan, the price is redicilous:

Top: 2x S-Flex 20db fans (Exhaust) + 2x Scythe GT AP-14 for h70 in the middle (intake)
Rear: Either 140mm Thermalright Silent X 140 (exhaust) or 120mm S-Flex 20db-Exhaust (depends because the PO of my case blowholed the rear mesh so I'm unsure if it will look ragged with the 140 and some gasket material)
Bottom intake: 140mm thermalright Silent X 140

No fan controller if I can get away with it. All fans should be around 20db.

Total cost is going to be around $110+

No led's lol sorry I have completely blindsided the OPs topic.
 
I'm probably going to go w/ COOLER MASTER R4-L2R-20AC-GP 120mm Blue LED Case Fan & a Lamptron 30W (FC-5V2) fan controller.
