Replace my new case fans with my previous fans?

[winterwonderland]

first, im sorry if i posted this in the wrong section, as i wasn't quite sure where to put this..

so. i got a NEW desktop pc with built-in fans; 2x corsair a1225m12s (120mm?), but some while ago, i bought 2 new fans for my OLD pc; 1x noctua nf-S12a pwm 120mm and 1x nf-a14 pwm 140mm.

my question is: should i replace 1 of those a1225m12s in my NEW case with the noctua 120mm from my OLD case, or? (i cant see where in my case i can mount the 140mm...)

note: i cannot figure out the name of my new case, for some reason... tried to look everywhere for a model name or so but none found... but here are 2 pictures of the case and possible places where i can place the 140mm-fan:


any ideas on this?

And what is the problem you're trying to fix?

This^^ Are you looking for additional cooling, quieter operation, etc?

And the case looks similar to a Corsair Carbide 200R

140mm fans will mount in the top if you want to add them there

Yeah you should, the Noctua are better. If the case only has 120mm you could mount the 140 with an adapter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0043GMY1U/?tag=tec06d-20

If it is the case linked earlier, then you could mount the 140mm fan on the bottom of the case as an intake to create positive pressure, using only the rear 120mm as an exhaust.
I would also move one stick of Ram over so they are both in the same colored slots for Dual Channel for better efficiency.

no problem, really. i was just wondering if i would benefit more by replacing the corsair-fans with noctua-fans. pardon for being unclear on that.

ohh, i didnt even see that difference. my bad. thanks for notifying me on that! learned something new tonight then.

so i should mount the 140mm on the bottom of the case and 120mm on the rear? none on the top then?

yes, it is that corsair case, actually! im impressed how some of you know/notice these things so quickly!

Well you have the corsair fans, you could put them on top?

The Corsair fans are good fans. No need to replace. No harm though in installing the other fans as well, but I don't think your system needs them.

Your case is a Corsair 200r. Noctua fans are known to be better than most but I believe the ones that came with the case are fine too. It's up to you to decide if you want to replace them.

after mixing and such, i found out that my noctua fans are way more quiet than the corsair ones, so imma use the noctua fans. but, again i got some questions...

is this how my setup should be/look like, where the X'ed areas are places with NO fans (the fan on the right is now removed) and the arrows are showing the air flow. the circled area is my gfx card fan... will this have an impact towards the air flow? should i only have 2 fans, or 3 you reckon?
