I'm looking for a 120 mm fan for the back of this case:

Does it matter what kind of 120 mm fan I get? Any recommendations?

Any 120mm fan should work. Look for that uses bearings as opposed to bushings.

Well not excactly!

heres how i tell which fan would be better

now fans move air in CFM = Cubic Feet Per Minute look at different fans and there CFM the one you see with the highest say 35.4cfm thats a good one, go ahead and buy it! you should get a pci fan blower too it goes into a pci slot and sucks the air out of the vent

you can even put this under a pci-e card and it will take the air off that and blow it out for better cooling power

kinda old thread, but in all honesty it doesnt make a huge difference unless your into either super high performance (60 cfm <) or super quiet (20 dba >). just get what looks good i guess...most generic 120mm are just that: the same thing, give or take a few differences. all up to you
