Say you have a strong gaming pc
and you got a nzxt cabinet which supports
8 fans what diffrence would it make if i put 8 fans ?
will there be great airflow ?
can i skip a cpu cooler? "stock one will be there"

what if i go with cpu cooler+ 8 fans
and what if i go with only 8 fans+ "stock cpu cooler"

basicly i wanna know what can 8 fans do

oh and can youl suggest me some good fans?
i have cooler master onces on my nzxt but is there anything better n faster?

A aftermarket cooler will always be better.
But 8 fans? You are better off with 5 or 6 fans. And with high quality fans, you can also go for 4 fans.

8 fans? No need. 3-4 good fans will do the job for you.

3-4 fans does the job in any case. If it still doesn't work that person is doing something he shouldn't. A lot of people still stuff their system inside their furniture cabinet with restricted spacing and wonder why its overheating.

The idea of air cooling is not to push the air out of the case as soon as it comes in.

Plain Jane but gets work done..
Cooler Master 90 CFM Blue LED Cooler | Cooler | Flipkart.com

A bit more on airflow dept & (noise too).. (+ it is 4 pin PWM so speed control)
Cooler Master XtraFlo Cooler | Cooler | Flipkart.com

For enthusiasts..
Noctua NF-P12 | Cooler | Flipkart.com

Cooler master Xtraflow is very good but when it runs at 100% speed, the sound is like a small jet but throws LOTS of air. At normal usage, the fan is near silent.

CM 90 CFM fans has a humming, buzzing noise and has bad built quality. It's good and cheap but i personally don't like it.

This Deepcool fan can push lot of air ( not like Xtra flow ) but is near Silent in low-high RPM. and is recommended for silent system. DeepCool UF 120 Ultra Silent Fan - Hardwire.in

8 fans???? Will be an overkill. You'll be wasting too much of your PSU's energy. A well ventilated cabinet with a max 3-4 fans will be more than enough. Moreover, you need to keep a look at the kind of airflow you're getting inside your cabby. You need to maintain a decent airflow inside the cabinet. Investing in a decent aftermarket CPU cooler will be a good decision.

Get a basic Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO + 4 case fans
If you want low noise + decent cooling then go for 140mm fans.
I have one of Blue LED silent fan 140mm - Cooler Master - Leading Provider of Computer Case | Cooler | Power Supply this. Very nice and running of full RPM at all times with no issues :)

If you are suggesting above one I would rather say no..

OP may get
4 * Deepcool WIND BLADE Cooler | Cooler | Flipkart.com @ 1500

OR

Cooler Master Silent FAN 120 SI2 (4 in 1) Cooler | Cooler | Flipkart.com @ 825/-

I suggest the latter since my Elite 311 came with 1 of these installed..
They are silent & blow enough air ...

Here lemme clear 2 things ...
1.Although CFM rating may be false for these fans dBA rating sure isn't
2.OP would need 3pin/4pinMolex connector since bundle doesn't have it.. :-|

Why? I agree the price is more but since OP didn't mention any budget I suggested medum priced.
They have better airflow and lesser noise than the ones you suggested. They come with 3pin to 4 pin converters in the package itself. Also LEDs are a plus(if you like them i.e ;))

40,000 hours man. not 40 ;P

That is the best vfm option. Performence is better than windb;ade fans.
I've used both of them.
Those Coolermaster fan runs @~1250rpm when advertised as 1200rpm.
But Windblade runs @1100rpm (max) when advertised @1300rpm.

If you are on a budget then

^^ Those fans are 3 pin, and one doesn't ever need 3 pin to 4 pin converter.
But if you are talking about 3 pin to molex converter, yes, that pack doesn't include any.

Its not about considering stupid, but the clarity of post. ;)
3-4pin converter means, 3 pin to PWM 4 pin converter, which is, practically, available.
That's why I was confused.

Cpu cooler it is :) thank you i guess il spend 2k on that something like this Coolermaster Hyper TX3 EVO CPU cooler

If its a CM Hyper TX3 EVO, then today's price @ FK is 1495. Just a li'l suggestion, saw the price at 1411 yesterday. See if you get it for below 1.4K. Else, try checking the price everyday on FK and you might get it for 1411 from FK. with the remaining cash, you can get an additional 90 mm fan, which you can attach with the TX3, as there is provision for attaching two fans with the TX3 although only one is bundled with it.

For heatsinks recommended fans are..
Coolermaster Blademaster 92mm
If you have cooler with 120 mm fan then noctua NF P12 PWM

Cabinet fans
Noctua NF S12B FLX
Noctua NF P14
Silverstone 121AP
Deepcool UF 140

For extreme cooling you may look for delta 4k & 10 rpm fans . No idea abt availibility in india.
Also beware of xtreme noise leves @ 60+dBA
No idea about NZXT fans though.

You shouldn't post on forums if that's your attitude.
What I meant was that you got at least 5 replies with different fan names in them and you didn't reply/quote any of them. I was suggesting you post your thoughts about them so everyone knows what exactly you're looking for.

Guys! We need to understand the basics of forums. When we post in a forum, at times, our post might invite comments which we might like and at other times we might not. Being hyper sensitive is not recommended in such cases. Members need to understand their faults, and should refrain from doing that again.
@ OP: what sharang.d posted, was not clear at that time, but when he cleared his POV behind that post, things should have stopped there only.
