Case Fan Cooling

[GreenandSlimy]

I was thinking about upgrading my current CPU Cooler, Hyper Evo 212, to a Corsair H100i. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to upgrade my stock case fans to Noctua NF-F12. Are my fans good now or do I definatley need an upgrade. I have a i5 4670k overclocked to 4.2 ghz, a XFX R9 280x, 8gb Corsair Vengeance Ram all in a Rosewill R5 Black ATX Mid-Tow Gaming Case.

So, should I replace my three stock, two in the front bottom and 1 top back exhaust, coolers with the Noctua NF-F12s? I am positiving about getting the H100i though.

If the airflow is not satisfactory to you then you should change it however I would recommend you to change your stock cooler fans with Noctua NF-P12 fans.

The NF-F12's are the updated 120mm static pressure fans from noctua.

Why are you postitive about getting an H100i? There are lots of much better options such as the new cooler master nepton 240l.

Also, NF-F12's are ment for static pressure environments, and there are better fans for open air case environments. I like the Silverstone AP123 for intaking through honeycomb grills.

I don't know from the reviews i read and the specs it has it looked like a great cooler. Also compared to all of the other liquid coolers it isn't outrageously expensive. And im looking for 100 dollars or cheaper in coolers. I'll look into the Nepton. Did you mean 280L or 240m? I can't seem to find a 240L. And what would be the best case fan coolers?

I meant the 240m.

Basically, any 280mm cooler is better than the h100i. The 140mm kraken x41 is better than the h100i. All swiftech coolers, the corsair h105(same noise level though), noctua's nh-D15, and cooler master's glacier are all examples of quieter, and better coolers. If you case doesn't support a 280mm radiator, ignore those suggestions. I would check the case real quick but I am on mobile and busy.
