Like the title says, I have 2x 120mm Deep Cool XFan as my intake. It's not extremely loud but kinda annoying because you can hear it since my whole rig/setup is placed in one big table. I removed the 2 fans to test out if they're the ones that creates the noise and indeed they are.

I want something with extremely bright blue led lights & transparent if possible, But I don't know which is which since tons of reviews out there and no clear 120mm fan 🙁

I really like the corsair SP120 blue LED, I have them in my case, although they aren't silent at full speed, they do move a lot of air though, and very quiet if you turn them down a little, if they are going at the front you want the SP version not the AF version.

Edit: actually depends on your case, If you have HD bays behind your intake, even if they are empty, unless they are the older kind that have the wires come out the back not the side, you need SP (static pressure), if you have an open section, the you are better getting AF (air flow) fans instead.
 


Thanks for the suggestion mr.Bezzell! I'll look into them :)




the hard drive bay is.. kinda weird or not typical in most cases today, it looks like this http://archive.benchmarkreviews.com/images/reviews/cases/Six_Hundred_V2/Antec_Six_Hundred_V2_Interior_Main.jpg

but mine is an antec 600 SE V2 with black interior and the cable management is on the side of the case which gives a big clearance in the Intake fans even if there's a hard drive in there.

About the wires.. are you talking about the wires from the HD's? yes the wires of the hard drives are positioned on the back,
but I routed them to the side where the cable management area is..

I'm a bit lost here, so static pressure is more advisable in my case?

thanks for your time & suggestion mr. yatys93 :) I appreciate it!
 


ya SP are better for the HD cage, just asked as if you only have 1 drive and the rest is completely open then you can get away with either, but I'd still recommend the SP version
