![]() ![]() On a similar scenario, for a case with restrictive airflow (p400s), is it worth replacing old A12025 fans for something newer (2 extra (3 total with case fan) at the front 2 at the top) ? Possibly 140mm as i read they are quieter. If you need black rather than grey then the venturi or corsairs are decent too. So finalized recommendation is going to be the Noctua p12 redux for anything. ![]() They're about as cheap as the Noctua p12 and are more specialized though neither in my experience is as balanced as is usually needed though they are very reliable and easy to find. They're older and are like the venturi in that there are two variants meant either for high air flow with low restriction or high pressure through high restriction. They are also grey and inoffensive so that's always good, Lastly is they corsair af12 0 or sp120 .

Honestly off the top of my head there are really only like three fans I can think of that fit this criteria.
