Add these fans to cases where you would like to add additional cooling, without adding a bunch of noise. These Fractal Design Silent Series fans will fit in 140mm fan mounts in your case and do a good job of cooling, while staying quiet.
Josh Raye (Research and Development SME) Says:
This is the preinstalled fan found in the Fractal R4 and XL. At full speed, it moves a good amount of air while keeping at a noise level most would find quiet, and they can become near silent if you slow them down via fan controller (or other means), but at the cost of significantly reduced air flow. It's a capable fan that I would only replace if there were some serious heat-producing components installed in the system.
