Question recommendations? budget fans

[Saxon_2]

Hey guys,

Looking at replacing my fans on my case; haf xb. I was going to switch out the front and rear fans but unsure of which budget fan may be the best here.

Not looking at spending a whole lot of money but my two options are the below since they are on discount/ relatively the same price. planning on 2x 140mm on the front and a 120mm in the rear. Would i be better with sticking on one of the two brands? or mixing it up? Let me know! thanks

Or if you have any better solutions please feel free to drop them; preferably looking for something relatively quiet.

thanks!

The corsair one is a static pressure fan, meaning its for use on radiators/aircoolers or where ever else there will be obstructions, not for the case. The Arctic one is a case fan.

oh Jesus. I hadn't even realized. How about the corsair AF fans? Or do you have any recommendations? I haven't found too much info on the Arctic Fans so im unsure of how well they may actually be

The Corsair fans are excellent. Depending on what kind of case you have, especially if it's a smaller case or just crowded with components, there is nothing wrong with using the SD or HD140 series fans. The high static pressure just means more air through the case and they do come in a 4 pin for PWM. The HD series may be more expensive.
