Hola,
I'm interested in purchasing some new fans for my system. I have a Fractal Design R4, and I want to put 2 new fans in the front, and replace that one in the back. My question is, is there a specific size that is better for each part of the case? For example, should I have a 120 or a 140mm in the back, and also for the front is it better to have 2 140mm's or 2 120mm's?
P.S. : If anyone is curious, I'm looking at the Corsair AF Quiet series Fans
Peace and love,

IMO there is difference between a 140mm and a 120mm fan, the 140s are a bit bigger and move a bit more air.
go 140 they are quieter and still move more air
I have the DefineR4 aswell and the ones in the front and back are already 140's and the front mounting system is clip in so I suggest staying with 140mm fans also because you can run them slower (and therefor quieter) and still move more then enough air as stated above. The main thing to worry about is maintaining positive air pressure (more input air than output air)so dust doesn't bypass the filters through any unfiltered openings.
There is nothing wrong with the fractal fans... Keep the uniform look and get fractal fans... Pure number wise they are a bit quieter then AF140 quiet edition and move the same amount of air... But the corsair are not a bad option at all...definitely go for 140...
140mm
Thanks guys
