Hey everyone, I was just into some fans suggestion for my new NZXT 810 case I ordered. So, this is my system:

I am looking for some red or black and red kinda look fans. Fans that don't only look good but perform good as well since I really care about looking and performance at the same time as you see on my system. I am using some NZXT leds sleeve but would be fine if you guys suggest some as well. Thanks.

P.S:

I run on dual GTX 770's overclocked @ 1280MHz and they perform @ 69C and 64C as shown on the video on a load. More space on the NZXT 810 would lead to lower temps if I get to find better fans than my current cooler masters from 2011.
 
I think you should go with Corsair AF or SP series fans depending on what you're after.

Corsair AF stands for Air Flow.
AF series fans are designed specifically to move high volumes of air in and out of your system.
At 12 volts, they can move up to 63 CFM.
However, these fans do not perform well when shoved right next to something like a hard drive cage. They have to have clearance on both sides for maximum effect.

SP stands for Static Pressure.
SP series fans don't move as much air as AF series, but they are outstanding at pushing air through something like an air filter, screen, radiator, or hard drive cage.

What's really nice about these fans is that the base is matte black and you can get different colored rings to fit on depending on the system color scheme. (Red is an Option)

These fans are probably some of the most reliable out there next to noctua.

Good Luck!
 


Ah Thanks! I did bought Noctua's fans thou because I liked the light brown color as well as already installed 12 of them (140mm) in my NZXT 810. Comparing this case to the Phantom 410, instead of having 69C and 64C on GTX 770's, now they run @ 59C and 55C under LOAD. That means that the space left on the 810 really matters since air flow does move faster.

Inhale:

Bottom: x2 140MM
In-case: x1 140mm
Front: x2 140mm

Exhale:

Top: x1 140mm
Rear: x1 140mm

Radiator:

TOP: NZXT Kraken x60 280mm push pull config with x4 140mm fans keeping my FX 8350 @ 4.72GHz 49C instead of 66C with Cooler Master V6GT.
