Question 4000D Airflow owners - Stock fans any good?

[mazinyo]

2 fans are provided with this case. Can anyone who has it and is using the stock fans, tell me if they are any good, (including noise wise)?

Far as I remember whatever benchmark it has "stock" after the case name, it means stock fans, in its factory position.

If I understood this correctly, looks like the stock fans are doing a good job

Yes it seems they are, it will all depend on your hardware setup. The case does allows for any decent fan to move air.

What cpu and gpu will you have inside?
The included stock fans may not be sufficient to cool your components.
Possibly adding another front 120mm intake
If they are, I would be inclined to try them since it is easy to change/swap fans.
But, for excellent airflow, and hot components, I would use two front 140mm intakes and retain one of the 120mm fans for rear exhaust.
Larger fans move more air quietly.

You get two 120mm fans with the case, I swapped the fans out for some 140mm Noctua fans. I will be installing the Corsair fans into a rackmounted pc coming week, but for the 4000D I would go with a couple of 140mm fans.

My wife has that case with an i5-11400f and an ASUS RTX 3060 Dual OC V2. Ambient temp 22-24C. It is silent even under heavy load using stock fans and default fan profiles.

I would really try it with the stock fans. I see no point spending money till you know if you even need to.
