I have decided to use two of these for the radiator. I'm having issues because it needs a large amount of voltage to spin-up and most fan controllers don't have this, and I can't really find any documentation for my chosen motherboard. The case does come with a "PWM fan hub plus 2x y-splitters allow for 8 fan connections (11 fans max with additional y-splitters sold separately)".
The most important thing for the fans is that they be quiet, but still can pack a cooling punch if ever needed. Brand doesn't matter either, as long as it adheres to the color scheme (red and black). I don't mind any changes to the amount/size of the fans either. Positive pressure is preferred to keep the dust out.
Thanks!
(the fans supplied with the case are good quality, but I'd like to replace just for the colors.)
Fan setup will be:
2 Top Mounted 140mm Radiator Fans + radiator. [INTAKE]
2 Front Mounted 120/140mm Red LED fans. [INTAKE]
1 Rear Mounted 140mm fan. [OUTTAKE]
