How good are the fans that are included? Would you reccomend that i changed them if I wanted to play online games for a couple of hours?

I kept the front 2 blue led fans as they seemed to move enough air but I replaced the back 120mm with a Scythe Kae and 2 more of em up top. Works great.

In terms of air volume, they're not the best, they can't push that much air through the air filters and get it to the center of the case. If you mean the noise, they're almost silent so you won't have any problems with that. The back fan is very silent as well and I feel like it can push more air than the front ones. As for gaming, the interior of your case may get hot, but this depends on how good your CPU and GPU fans are. I'd recommend not removing the case fans, but adding more to the top to get better airflow.

They work great, haven't had any issues with them. Though they do not seem to move much air when used in the front. I moved them to the top an placed 2 Corsair SP120 in the front for maximum air movement.

Fans are great. I play video games a couple hours a day and I get no overheating.
940107
No need at all to change the fans. The cooling is more than enough. I play heavy games with a cross fire config and it does ir perfectly

I own this case and can't say enough good things about it. Yes the fans are great. I added some but I like flashy should be more then sufficient without additional fans. Great air flow.

Three that are included work plenty fine when I play league of legends for hours. Depends on the build too. If you're going for an expensive or overclocking I'd get more fans. Plenty nice for my a10 5800k with no extra graphics.

The fans are good. The system stays cool. I have (2) 120mm fans on the top and the 2 that came with the case. My system stays cool majority of the time. I run renderings, photoshop, and other programs.

The fans move plenty of air however the front fans were a little loud for me so I swapped them out with some higher quality ones from corsair. Was a pain so only do it if they are too noisy for you.

Fans are great, I've played games for hours with no problem at all, as long as you have a good CPU cooler and Gpu

I did the same thing with the Corsair H80i, and then I replaced my stock case fans (Obsidian Series® 750D) with these - was very pleased with the results. My system is super quiet - and gets superb airflow. Unfortunately, I don't have temperature data to compare with - so I can't honestly say it was a net gain with regard to cooling. The premise for me changing the case fans was simply that I regard Noctua as a best of breed in the world of fans.

It includes a fan. If you plan to overclock it at all, buy a better one. If not, the one included should do fine.

When you say quieter, I would agree to that, but you need to consider the fan you use, you can use whichever fan you want, the stock cooler is junk, always get an aftermarket cooler unless you're using an i5 or i3 and never plan on pushing your CPU with anything, the 92mm cooler is one of the biggest coolers you're going to fit in this case and you can comfortably game with it if you have a solid gpu

I have had the unit about a week and my fan does not appear that bad. I hear the fan in my server slightly more. So far, for the price I think it is a good value. It replaced a San Digital that's power supply blew after 18-24 months.

Hi, With the stock 2 fans that the case comes with it's very quiet, You have to also count on how much noise your video addin card makes as well. If your only going to use the cpu built in video then there's really very little noticeable sound at all. My own setup is the ( 1 ) 140 front fan I have ( 2 ) instead of the stock ( 1 ) 120 mm fan on the one side and I also installed ( 2 ) 80 mm fans in the rear right blowing right across the motherboard cpu. I also am running a Duel fan Radeon 7870 video card. With my setup I hear a low humm with the case only about 1 foot away from my right ear.

its decent for it. its got integrated graphics which kinda sucks, but itll play things like skyrim on low settings, if you want to use that as a benchmark. i havent noticed any overheating problem. i personally use it for gaming as im a twitch streamer and this is my main rig atm. i havent really tried newer games on it as much. it has slowdown with dolphin (gamecube/wii emulator) but runs things like Skullgirls no problem.

I recommend noctua quiet series fans (the newest ones) in a pull configuration. The have a 140mm fan in the back in a push configuration. Make sure you have an aftermarket CPU cooler

The fans are good fans The ones I have purchased , which is 4 of them are not that load. The only issue I have is that the blade guards are cheaply made and do not always go together very well and I have had to zip tie them as a precaution. Hope this helps.

They're pretty quiet. If you connect them to the motherboard you can lower the fan speeds in the BIOS. Otherwise they include an adapter that connects thee fans to a molex connector which is quiet.

It's been a while since I built that PC as a gift to a relative. IIRC, those fans have molex power connectors, meant to attach directly to your power supply, not your motherboard.

The case has room for 3 fans. 1 on top, 1 in rear and one in lower front. The top and rear are the new larger fans. Beware that the top mounted fan will add noise under a desk. The one large fan in the rear keeps my setup (i5, 6 drives, 12 GB ram) cool. I use it as a server not a gaming box. The power switch is hard to see but it is there along with a reset button. They are hard to find unless looking directly at the case. (not an issue). The case does have a couple of usb ports built in. I used an MSI board and added additional usb and multi card reader. It is a great fan for the money. Don't think twice. Buy it! The case has room for 3 fans. 1 on top, 1 in rear and one in lower front. The top and rear are the new larger fans.

You can get adapters to convert the Molex connectors to 3-pin connectors. Then those fans can be plugged into motherboard fan headers or a controller.Personally, I never bothered. I plugged mine straight into the power supply and have never had a problem with noise or heat. AMD 1090T, multiple drives, GTX 660, Corsair H50, no big deal. The fans are simply too big to generate much noise.

Its pretty quite if you adjust the fan curve currently, If you keep the default fan curve its fairly loud, but it depends on how demanding the game is.

The one I got booted up fine and was nice and quiet during idle on the desktop. But load up an intensive game, and the fan was very noticeable. I could hear it from outside the room, down the hall, and downstairs. I returned this M12II and got a Seasonic X-850 GOLD Seasonic X-850(SS-850KM3 Active PFC F3) 850W 80 Plus Gold ATX12V/EPS12V Power Supply instead, and have been happy with it for the last 2 years and counting.

Heck ya bro. My bro bough this case a long while ago and the usbs are freaking awesome, the only thing that him and I would recommend is to replace the fans, but that is the only thing I had a slight issue with but, 10/10 this case is a great case if it fits your needs!

I bought them to use with my MSI Gaming AMD Motherboard as I wanted the benefit of PWM Fan Management. They should take care of you fine. You should also consider using a Fan Controller if you have room for another add on to the front of your case as they have every thing you need built right in to the units...just a thought.
