Can I replace the stock fans with Corsair SP 120 fans?

I am sure you could rig up a way, but why would you want to?...the stock fan is amazing and probably 1/3 of the price of this cooler. Plus it's a 150mm fan that moves a ton of air and is quiet. I use an SP120 at my rear exhaust on my case in tandem with this cooler keeps my 4770k nice and cool.

As everyone pretty much has said, no. And I wouldn't even consider the downgrade to the Corsair fans over the Noctua unless you just want to throw money away for poorer performing and noisier fans. But, in the end, the fan mount system of that cooler will just prevent you from moving down to a 120mm fan from the 140/150mm fans that the wire mount system utilizes.

My own opinion mind you,... the NH-U14S is designed to conform to a 140mm fan. If the fans you reference are 120mm, then I wouldn't expect it to make do. Otherwise, replacing it with another 140mm silent fan is dependent on whether or not the fasteners that attach it to the heat sink fit the fan.The Noctua fans are decently efficient and quiet. Curious as to why you would want to substitute. Color scheme maybe? It is best you email Noctua support for their input.

It is possible as noctua gives you the mounting material for the procedure, although noctua has the highest quality of fans so I wouldn't recommend replacing them due to their high performance and extreme silence

The noctua fan is 140mm. The corsair sp is a 120 mm fan. i do not know the width for each fan. The noctua uses a clip system to hold the fan on to the cpu cooler. You would have to bend the clip to make it fit. Bending the clip might break it or weaken the clip. I would not trust it. The fastening clip is the issue with me. No, I would not recommended it.

These can be used with Corsair's all in one water coolers like the H100i. However the "AF" series of fans are geared towards case use and not for rads and coolers. The "SP" line have higher static pressure and will perform better on coolers and radiators. In short they will work but tho cooling performance wont be as good when used in the H100i.

Just use the provided fan and I'd you dislike it then you should get a new one. I'm currently using the stock fan.

If all you want to do is add case fans, there a lots of power adaptors.....cheap..@ Amazon.com. They're generic.

These are three-pin fans. You would need to control them through the motherboard or a fan controller.

No, there are not. I installed two mini 40mm fans though by drilling my own holes. If I could do it over again I would go with 45mm fans, 50mm in a little too big, I measured. You will have a very difficult time getting any fans in there without swapping the power supply with a pico-psu.

Absolutely. I have a H100i. I control my fans thru the motherboard though, Im not currently using Corsair Link. Happy Holidays!

I believe you can only fit one 140mm fan. Two 120mm fans with no problem but not two 140mm fans.

Yep. All the fans are replaceable. If you don't like red, you can even have the LED for the front panel not turn on (it's only in red however, no way to change the color).

Yeah, they're just case fans. I took them out and put in a corsair h110 cooler in the front, mounted a couple fans on top, bottom, and back. =-)

Replace with another 200mm fan, available from www.corsair.com. I believe the part number is CC600TW-200MM. You may find it here on amazon.

I received 120mm fans... I ordered 2 of them. They work well and have no issues :)

yes you can, but for the love of all things holy please don't. Find a brand name cooler with great reviews if you need an external fan support. My first stop would be to check if the fans are as clean as possible.

Yes any 120mm fan will work. Just make sure you get a fan that moves a good amount of air.

The bottom one may not be usable depending on the length of your power supply. I was not able to get a fan to fit because the cables coming from mine were just too close. I do have 4 fans in use though, along with the CPU fan and that is plenty in my opinion. Stock fans are usable, but average at best. I moved them to the front and side and have high end 120mm in the back and top. Airflow is excellent in my opinion. I do really like this case due to the price and features.

I own this: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120mm PWM Fan (RR-212E-20PK-R2)

I would only use the same part number in replacing your fan. I have no idea about other fans or their part numbers.
