Hi,
The preinstalled fans on my case are a little on the loud side (supposedly 25dBA @ 32.5CFM), so I was thinking of swapping them (3 fans intake, 1 exhaust) for something more efficient and with PWM. I found a non-RGB alternative that seems decent according to specs, but I can't find many reviews on it: Arctic BioniX F120 (~24.5dBA @ 69CFM) for around $10 each. The more expensive and prettier alternative I found is the Fractal Design Prisma AL-12 ARGB PWM (32.7dBA @ 85.7CFM) at ~$23 each. These last ones are pretty loud at max speeds, but I don't think there's ever going to be a need for max speed.
The Fractal Design ones are 2.3x more expensive and I'm not sure if they'd perform better in any way than the Arctic ones (they're prettier though, I'll give them that). I'm open to other suggestions if you guys can recommend me other models. I've considered Noctua fans, but the Chromax ones are very expensive at ~$30 each and the standard ones are brown, while everything in my case is either black or RGB...
Thanks
