Hello everyone
I have almost gathered everything i need to assemble my first watercooling loop (over 900$ worth in total!). Last thing i need to figure out is which fans to use for my rad. I am going with a black / red / yellow color scheme and i'd like some LEDs on the fans or at least some sort of color. My rad is an Alphacool Nexxos Monsta 420mm so i need 140mm fans. I really like the corsair AF140s that either have a red ring (http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Produc...m_re=corsair_140mm_fan-_-35-181-028-_-Product) or an actual red LED (http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Produc...m_re=corsair_140mm_fan-_-35-181-051-_-Product) and i was wondering if they were suitable for a rad this thick. Honestly, having put so much money into this build already i am not going to fuss about the price of the fans too much so i was planning on getting 6 of them for push / pull. Would my choice be suitable for what i plan to use them for? What other fan should i consider to do the trick? I am looking for a relatively quiet build of course but my main focus is temperatures, which is why i went with the best waterblock EK makes and a 420mm rad even if i'm just cooling a 5930k (for now?).
Any help is appreciated, thanks guys.
