My case is Fractal Design Meshify C and I have all parts except case fans. Can you advise which fans, I should get. I'm looking for 3 or 6 packs with controller hub. I want RGB as well.

I did look at Thermaltake Riing, Corsair LL120RGB LED, Enermax T.B. RGB, and can't decide which one. I also looked at Uphere, Asiahorse and not sure if it is any good? Can anyone give me some feedback, I appreciated it.

Rgb fans are overpriced and don't provide a lot of light, but they do look nice if aesthetics are your goal. I use an rgb led strip to light my case and high performance fans like cooler master jetflo and silverstone fhp 141's.

Look at noise levels and bearing construction, you don't want anything over 25db or your case will sound like a vacuum cleaner , and there are a few really good bearings in use by pc fans (like ball bearings) and a few really bad ones (like metal sleeve bearings). A good bearing provides a 150,000hour lifespan which is what you want in a pc fan. Blade design plays a role, wide narrow blades (if you look straight on at the fan you can't see between the blades) push less air harder and are made for radiators while traditional blade styles push more air farther which is what most people want.

The plus with RGB fans, is that when your mood changes, so can the color of the chassis. They are not just designed to look like unicorn poop, they are made to offer choices, which single color fans cannot do.
