[SOLVED] How to choose the fans type and push/pull placement

[DavidUSSR]

I want to buy Antec NX200 case with 5 Arctic Bionix fans, so my question is, what type of fans should I put around the case....
the options are P120 (Static Pressure) and F120 (Airflow)
Will be glad for any help on what to choose and where should I place it....

 

[dimtodim]

if u really want good airflow u must have on front fans to intake air on top to push air and on back side to push air out...maybe u buy better case if u want antec see nx800...but for my opinion fractal design, coolmaster are better choose... go for fractal design meshily c king of air flow...

The Fractal Design is too expensive where I live...
and what do you say about the Antec NX600 ?

I checked and couldn't find any fractal design anymore... the NX800 costs about 125$... but I found Be Quiet Pure Base 500 for less than the NX800, is it any good ?

let's say that like that, if I will buy the be quit case I'll have to postpone the fans purchase.
the fans that I want to get is Arctic Bionix F120.

Couldn't find it anywhere here and I really don't like RGB stuff, I consider it as unnecessary and overrated...

I already got the system for about a year, about the ram, I couldn't find a kit of 2x8gb 2933 so I chose random 2x8gb...
so basically what I need to replace is the case, psu and fans...

Nothing wrong with the Antec. It's built by Seasonic on the Focus plus platform.

Is this an online store? If so link us to it.

When it comes to cases you're sometimes better spending more on a case with preinstalled cooling than buying a cheaper case and having to supply your own fans!

Out of those 2 pick the pure base 500.

It comes with 2 x 140mm fans, one front and one rear.

Remove the rear, add it to the front as an extra intake and buy a decent single 140mm fan for the rear exhaust.

That gives you 2 x 140mm matching intakes and a 140mm rear exhaust which is more than ample for 90% of systems.

ALWAYS pick a case that supports 140mm fans over 120mm.

3 x 140mm fans will do the same job as 5 x120mm fans generally and the extra surface are on intakes give a more uniform and spread airflow throughout the case.

You also benefit from lower max rpm and lower noise levels.

It's online store too but everything in Hebrew.. I can send you the link to the cases page if you want to.

 

[bignastyid]

The Bequiet is the better case. If it fits your budget go for it.

Yes post it here anyway, and your total budget for the case and the fans.

Its easier to pick a good combination then.

I think that I'll buy the Be Quiet one and I'll add some fans later... Thank you .
