Whoah...that fractal is beautiful!!! As for fans go with that Dark, it comes with stock right? Any fans I should purchase? If I were to switch, I only have the Aio. Rgb fans would be awesome if I we're to need any.

I am considering this product. Could you suggest some fan options besides the liquid cooling system?

Do not add additional fans to the S2 or R6; they are already equipped with two 140mm front intakes and a 140mm rear outlet. Placing your H100i as an upper exhaust will suffice.

A front-mounted ventilation system, of either type, is sufficient. Simply relocate the included fans to areas where you won’t install radiators. If you desire additional fans – perhaps for aesthetic reasons like RGB lighting or to enhance airflow and sound quality – I’d recommend Noctua NF-A14 PWM chromax.black.swap fans, or models from Thermalright’s line (not Thermaltake’s). For RGB options, which isn't a priority for me, Corsair’s Maglev fans would be my choice; they are premium in quality but not inexpensive.

Regarding top-tier component performance, noise reduction, and overall excellence, Noctua and Thermalright are exceedingly difficult to surpass. However, certain Corsair models and a few other brands offer respectable performance as well. You can frequently find fan packs of three from Corsair at a reduced price compared to purchasing them individually.

I’m not familiar with RGB fans that truly excel in terms of Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM), static pressure, and noise levels simultaneously.

Many thanks for your responses. I’m considering this model: https://m.newegg.ca/products/N82E16811352100. This case seems designed for liquid cooling, and I’m aware my AIO will require substantial space, so that shouldn't be a problem. As Matt suggests, I don’t require additional fans currently, so it seems premature to invest in higher-performing ones at this time. Finally, could anyone share links to LED strips? I’d particularly appreciate software control options.

Absolutely, this represents an excellent value proposition considering its cost and, furthermore, it can be easily customized if desired. Several aftermarket modifications are readily accessible, including tinted tempered glass side panels and potentially complete mesh front panels.

RGB light strips compatible with the 5050 standard connection will offer software management capabilities. The primary concern I recognize is that its completely unbroken, heat-resistant surface and lack of edging presents a challenge when integrating strip illumination in an organized manner.

Alright. I'll just skip the rgb stripping for now if that's the case.

My lights are positioned in the upper and lower corners, oriented horizontally. These are NZXT Hue+ v2 models; a subsequent version, v3, is also available. While I don't strongly favor the CAM software, alternative lighting control options exist for these LED strips, offering color modification without advanced features like rotation or synchronized pulsing. This alternative is suitable for static colors and avoids the problems associated with the CAM software and its accompanying controller – which does come with the hardware. It’s a respectable option, considering both the device and the LEDs themselves, though I find some elements of CAM software less appealing due to my particular preferences.

Do you believe I could accommodate a darker setup? I've been considering the Corsair Lightning Node Pro. I’ve seen some reviews of the Hue+ and Hue 2, and the software is quite clunky. Furthermore, the RGB lighting utilizes a Molex connection while the node employs SATA. What are your opinions on this?
