Which are better? I believe the stock HAF 932 fans are 230mm and the zalmans are 120mm, I would assume you'll get more than the 4 standard fans with the zalmans? Presumably better airflow as well?

basically your side 230mm fan gets replaced with 4 x 120mm zalman, airflow is a little better yes.

Thanks for your reply! Is just the side 230mm fan that is replaced with 4x zalman, so you end up with 4x 120mm side, 230mm top, 230mm front, and the rear? I was hoping all 230mm fans would be replaced with 4x zalman, but are you stuck with 230mm fans for certain spots on the HAF 932? Or maybe not enough connectors for all those fans?

the fan upgrade is only total of six fans, so the side gets 4 and they might replace the top 230mm fan with 2 x 120mm, and with that you have 6 fans.

but you don't need any of that upgrade fans at all, the haf stock fans do a good job and to be honest the top 230mm fan provides better airflow then 2 x 120mm.

why do you want all of them changed anyways?

I'm thinking I'll just go with the stock fans now. Just seems like not a lot of benefit for 70$ just to replace the side, although the benefit of replacing any of them seems debatable as well or all of them seems debatable from what you have said and other research I've done today.

Thanks for your advice!
