hi,
i want to buy haf 932, 4 big fans come with the case but is it better to put smaller fans instead of big fans?, would i get better air flow?,the cooling system is:

Front: 230 x 30 mm red LED fan x 1, 700 RPM, 110 CFM, 19 dBA

Side: 230 x 30 mm standard fan x 1, 700 RPM, 110 CFM, 19 dBA (support 120 x 25 fan x 4)

Top: 230 x 30 mm standard fan x 1, 700 RPM, 110 CFM, 19 dBA (support 120 mm fan x 3 or 120 mm x 1 + 230 x 30 mm x 1)

Rear: 140 x 25 mm standard fan x 1, 1200 RPM, 60 CFM, 17 dBA (support 120 mm fan x 1),
 
The big fans don't push much air really. I've changed the side and top 230mm fans on mine. Well I'm sorta still using the top 230mm fan, Here are some pics so you can see what I mean. The fans look a little pink on the pics (crap cellphone camera) but I assure you they are actually red.

Your own post should explain it.

Smaller fans normally = less CFM depending on RPM vs/ larger fan of course. And with higher RPM's come more noise.

The big fans don't push much air really.
Read the stats in the first post. There may be less pressure, but does push more air.
 
im using a 922 and havent upgraded any of the case fans and my temps for my i7 are idle below 40c and maxout around 73

the fans taht come with are made for silence not cfm, getting good fans to replace with is the key.. if I had money to spend, my whole case would be outlined with noctura fans as they are quiet and good cfms.. but alas the bank is closed since i just got this system heh
