Corsair's new line of fans are quite good.

I think white would like sharp in there. What do you want quite fans or fans that will move a lot of air

Non led ,  mix between high cfm for the case and quiet. im just changing the 3 140's so im guessing i want high cfm and not worry about static pressure

The new corsair fans look nice and sound quiet but do they have a much improved airflow over the stock ones? the stocks are rated for 69 cfm. the new ones are only 6.

*edit* just saw a post and the stock fans are not 69. they are only 49.6. corsair hasnt changed it yet on their website. so the new corsair ones might work then

The cougar vortex fans have really high cfm and aren't all that loud but i read they are noisy and annoying when placed horizontally. too bad cuz they are orange and the cold cathodes give off a slight orange look too
