Air flow in case

[SmoothBM]

Hello guys ! This is my first post ever on a site like this . Hope I do everything right .
I ordered almost all the new parts for my first ever built rig . I managed to get some time to plan my case . But I still have questions . I will be using a NZXT Noctis 450 case . It comes in with 4 fans ( 3 intake , 1 exhaust) but I plan on switching them for some aftermarket ones . I'm looking to have a positive air pressure in my case or something neutral . I also like the fans to look good,I intend to get some Cougar CFD White LED 140 mm for both exhaust and intake since they are really quiet from the reviews I've watched . Anyone got other suggestions? Also do the fans for the radiator push their max CFM out of the case or some gets stuck in the radiator ? Because if they do it would mess up the positive air pressure .
So if anyone got any ideas , I'm waiting . Things I look for : aspect (mainly for the exhaust because that's what I'll be seeing ) , performance and really important to be as silent as it can . Also LED's would be great since I'll have some HUE+ installed in the case and I think some white LEDs would loke dope with the HUE.
Thanks alot in advance guys hope I didn't write too much
PS: Forgot to mention that I'll be using the PC to game from time to time , also render stuff for YouTube or mess around with animations, so there will be times when the heat will build .
PSS: I live in Europe so the things I can get are limited
One last edit : Forgot to mention that I will have 3 intake fans for the front pannel , the 280mm radiator on top and an exhaust fan in the back . Thing is I could fit another 140mm fan in the top , maybe for additional intake but I don't know how that will affect the airflow . I really do need some help with that

I wouldnt bother planning your airflow in the case the way you have - fans CFM ratings are at 12v meaning MAX speed, that wont be quiet unless its hardly spinning (meaning moving little air) or your version of quiet is different to most

I think the best thing you can do for now is build your rig and have a play with it - understand it a bit more. Unless youre running your fans at 12v what youve planned so far doesnt actually add up. Whole point in a quiet rig is the fans hardly spinning at low load and then your own chosen top level fan RPM when its at load to balance airflow and noise.

Any restriction - rads - heatsinks - case airfilters and grills will also add noise with higher airflow because of turbulence and you also need to consider fan motor noise with most fans too....

Lots of info to be thinking about

Didn't know the CFM was at max voltage , I just recently got into pc building and watching tutorials , still have a long way to go .

I understand that the whole point of a silent case it to be quiet . Maybe you've got any other suggestions for the fans? I'm buying the Kraken X62 when it comes out from Amazon so I can order anything that's there .

Idk I watched some noise recordings for the fans , they seemed really quiet to me . The only dust filter I have is on the front pannel and one for the PSU shroud . The drive supports will be removed , since I'll be using only one SSHD and the SSD has already a destined place on the PSU shroud

Lots of info to be thinking about

I know I've been trying to plan this thing for like a month already .

Can you tell us all the hardware you plan on getting? Would help us figure out what kind of fans you should be looking at.

Yes of course . I'm getting an i7 6700k , which I'll probably OC to at least 4.6Ghz , an Asus Strix 1070 , HyperX Fury black 2x8 gb 2666 Mhz , Asus Z170-A motherboard, a FireCuda 2TB SSHD , a Samsung Evo 850 250GB and a Corsair RM 650W . Sorry for replying late to all of you guys I don't use the main email for the account so i sometimes forget to check for new replies
PS: Should LEDs be mentioned here? Idk . I'm getting 4 strips of HUE+ too to light up the case

I have watched quite a few reviews of the Kraken X62 , but they were way shorter , I guess this one is really detalied . I'll make sure to watch all of it so I don't miss out any important information .
As for the fans , I mean case fans , any alternatives to the ones I listed in the original post? Thank you

Good case fans are the Phanteks PH-F140/120SP range of fans. They're very quiet and the white blades match most rigs. They also come with white LED's for a little extra money. They may come stock with Phanteks cases, but they are excellent as aftermarket fans for almost any system. They're also not expensive and are easily found.

BeQuiet Silent Wings 3 are also excellent as both radiator or case fans, but they are considerably more expensive. They may not have the highest static pressure rated, but that isn't everything. They're very quiet and look excellent.

If it's a low end GPU and CPU, he won't need much in the way of fan power, cheap slow spinning fans would suffice. If he had multiple drives in the front(as in all of them cages full) he would need static pressure, not airflow volume. Etc.

To sum up what's been recommended, Cougar and Phanteks. Can't go wrong with either. I'll throw in a couple more options.
Fractal Design fans, the GP14s or 12s if you prefer(i'd go 14 version, they spin slower and will be more quiet/still push more air).
Or can get some Gentle Typhoons. Some of the most popular fans ever especially years back, but they go by 2 names now. Scythe GentleTyphoon OR Nidec Servo Gentle Typhoons now. I'd get nothing higher than 1450rpm.
Lastly, Noctua. Can't go wrong with ANY of them. Go for the AF14 though if in doubt for 140mm, or NFF12 for 120mm.
