hey guys so I have finally completed my build on my first ever pc except for the fans and led lighting. This is the build of the pc http://pcpartpicker.com/p/qHPFrH I was hoping you guys could help me grab some of the best case fans for cooling. I would like them to have red led lights if possible but if those kind suck then dont worry about that. I definitely want cooling to be the priority. Thanks guys!
 
So I looked at those and those are crazy loud! 45+ decibals o_0!
This is the build now updated: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/hKg3kL

I was wondering
1. If these fans would be good, put 2 on the front as intake and one on the back as exhaust.
2. If my fans will be auto temp controlled. (I know some are controlled based on temperatures but not sure how that works)
3. If the ram will fit due to the noctua nh-d15 or if they will hit each other/if ram fits, will the case be big enough?
 
They're controlled by the motherboard. You only need one for your machine, mounted in the front or on the side panel.
 
For a case fan, Yate Loon makes a decent 140mm 1000rpm fan. They are available in LED's. If you must have 120mm fans, YL makes LED versions of those, too. But thier minimum fan speed is 1350rpm -- loud for a case fan. You can put them on speed reducers or controllers, but but twice as many as you need -- half or so click. Luckily they are cheap enough to buy twice as many as you need.
