Hi guys..
I need recommendations for a value-for-money 120mm fan for my gaming rig as its getting hot..
My config is-

i5 3570
Gigabyte GTX 660OC 2GB
Cabinet- Cooler Master K350 K350 - Cooler Master
NO OVERCLOCKING

It already has a front fan..
I m looking for a side 120mm fan..
Please suggest some best value-for-money fans..
Thanx...

You already have a front fan right(this pulls air into the case), now buy three 120mm LED fans(2fans facing top side as exhaust & 1fan on the side window as exhaust). Now your temps will fall like hell. My cabinet has a similar setup as mentioned to you.

Get the CM fan. Has a 93.4 CFM of airflow at 2200Rpm. Damn good.

install fans on the side as exhaust.

Side fans are best and most effective as intakes IMO.

Ok, K350 lacks minimum fan setup.
You are going to need 2 fans.
1. Cooler Master XtraFlo as exhaust at the back
2. And a Coolermaster 90CFM fan as side intake. Link: Cooler Master 90 CFM LED Cooler - Cooler Master: Flipkart.com

If you can't afford both, then you may replace the suggested side intake with any cheap 120mm fan.
