Hi and welcome to the forums!

I tend to like RED LED's best, but with that motherboard, it is hard to find a LED colour fan for that scheme. I have a Gigabyte X79-UP4 (purple/blue/grey mix), it's a weird colour also and I also have a Noctua NH-D14 (brown/light brown) as well as Trident0X 16GB ram (red)... it looks all over the place, but through the HAF X 942 window, it looks pretty good, and i have a huge 23CM RED LED fan (included) and it just looks awesome, Just get the fan that you prefer best. If you have a backlit keyboard that only is one colour, get a LED Fan that's the colour of the keyboard, that works really well. If your totally in doubt, go RED LED!

I agree red is a great colour for PC fan LEDs and goes great with black cases. I personally would choose red LED fans.

Hi dpassenger97
Color is your own preference , possibly match color to the colors around your case , possibly match the colors of the components in your case or if you have lots of blue or green or red in the room , this will match your setup quite well . Red , green ,blue all will make your case look good , i recommend bitfenix spectre pro fans they have fantastic cfm airflow and a good choice of LED and they are quallity fans and will make your case look great which ever color you choose

is your keyboard backlit? if so, get the colour (fan LED) that it is.

If not, I say go for a red led Fan, it won't disappoint.

These fans are the best, though $20.99, it has 2 and not 1 (buying in bulk, really good value), and the corsair air series offer premium airflow.

These are 120mm RED LED fans.
