CPU fan Position

[Moggy1990]

So guys I have a Scythe Ninja 4, but the issue I'm coming up with is what fan would be better to replace the stock Scythe 120mm fan, I want increased static pressure and possibility of using in a push/pull config. I've looked at Noctua 120mm redux but I dislike the aesthetic with only the 7 blades, looks empty also looked at the Corsair SP series but really unsure as I've read mixed reviews. So could anybody recommend anything similar. I have a Red/Black/White build so if they have LED's, I don't mind White or Red

For a large cooler like Scythe Ninja 4, i personally think push-pull is the way to go here. I'm using Corsair fans (case fans) in my own build and they are very quiet, since i have the quiet editions and running them at a low rpm. However, the Noctua fans that i'm using on my CPU cooler run much quieter, even though that that are not the most attractive fans on the market.

For your colour themed build, you may what to consider Thermaltake's Riing 12 High Static Pressure 120mm. They have a led coloured ring around the fan which lights up when your pc is powered on. They have a large range of colours to choose from, including red and white. They run very quiet. I've seen them in different builds, they looked amazing. I didn't get them for my build because at the time they didn't have yellow yet.

I have looked at the Riing Fans, I mean the Scythe can that comes with it is Brilliant, but it's not easy finding them in the UK, I've got a budget of roughly £20 each CPU fan, don't mind paying the extra for a CPU fan but not for a case fan... I have plenty of overall space inside the case for a larger cooler, which was on my mind... Have the Enthoo Pro case
