I recently bought the Corsair 4000D and want to go with non rgb fans because I plan on getting the front wood panel and don't want the rgb lights to take away from the panel. Price wise I've decided to go with Arctic fans but not sure if I should use the P12's for static pressure or the F12's for the airflow? I've already got 2 P14 for my aio, The case came with 2 fans which looking at the specs on them they atr static fans so I'm leaning towards the P12's because of the front dust filter but wanted to check with you all for your thoughts.
 
Static pressure fans are best for radiators or fins in a heatsink, something that need air to be pushed through tight spaces not pulled through. Airflow fans make for bad cooling fans on aforementioned radiators and heatsinks but they are excellent in case air cooling. You should look for high CFM, low static pressured fans.
 
Yeah thats why I got the 2 P14's for my Radiator the fans the came with the case 1 on front 1 in tear are Corsair's AirGuide which looking at the spes shows the air flow is static pressure thats why I wasn't sure if I should go with the P12's or F12's
