Need some advice on fans and dust filters for new build

vard

Hi there,

I have recently completed a new PC build and I'm looking to add some top quality powerful yet silent fans to the top (exhausting) and the side (intake). I'm determined that I keep everything running in top condition and get the best performance possible.

Now I'm quite new to all this, so any expert advice at all would be greatly appreciated.

I would be looking for a top quality 200mm fan to mount on the side of the case, and an additional 140mm for the top (there is already a stock NZXT fan there which runs at roughly 1200rpm)

In addition to these fans I am looking to purchase some sort of dust filter to combat buildup. I'd like something that will obviously filter the air while keeping airflow restriction at an absolute minimum.

Here is my PC spec

CASE - NZXT phantom 410 (mid tower) white PIC
CPU - Intel® Core™i5 Quad Core Processor i5-3570K (3.4GHz) 6MB Cache
CPU cooler - Noctua D14
RAM - 16GB KINGSTON HYPER-X GENESIS DUAL-DDR3 1600MHz, X.M.P (4 x 4GB KIT)
GPU - NVIDIA GTX 670 - 4GB: EVGA SC
DRIVE - 120GB INTEL® 330 SERIES SSD
PSU - CORSAIR 750W ENTHUSIAST SERIES™ TX750 V2-80 PLUS® BRONZE

Looking forward to hearing your advice/opinions!

Here's a custom dust filter set for your case.. expensive but best dust filters you can get and cut to fit your case perfectly.

As for fans, most important thing is the rpm. Look for ones in the 700rpm range for 140mm/200mm fans if you want to keep things really quiet.

Thanks for that - I may well decide to splash out and go for those, although I'd be tempted to find out what the mesh/filter material is and perhaps buy something with an identical build but cheaper and do a bit of a DIY job on it by fitting it myself.

I'm considering this fan for the side https://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Coolers+-+Air/Fans/200mm+Case+Fans/Cooler+Master+MegaFlow+Blue+LED+Quiet+Case+Fan+200mm+?productId=50015 it doesn't state the RPM, but I'd imagine it should be something in and around that. I can control the fan speeds via fan control, so the option of higher RPM would probably be better.

I'll keep poking around; if you have any other suggestions please do share!

There's always the Corsair Air Series?

Oh and if you have a colour scheme going they come with 3 replaceable colour rings.

Thanks again for the help so far.

Can anyone tell me if this fan might be a good one to put on the side of my case? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-017-BX&groupid=701&catid=2331&subcat=
