So, what are the best fans out there for a PC build? I’m looking at adding two fans since my case doesn't really have room for more than that—it’s a Fractal Design North, so space is kind of tight. Just wondering which ones would be the best bet to throw in there... if anyone here has actually dealt with this before, maybe let me know.

People usually point to Intel as the gold standard. Something like this, for example.

They’re pretty pricey, though.
Personally, I don't think you need anything better than this.

Take a look at what's available; there are tons of options out there. Just make sure you stick to the 120x120x25mm dimensions since that's what your case supports. Note that "Pulse Width Modulation" means it has built-in power management, allowing the fan to adjust its speed as needed. The ones without that feature just run at full blast all the time. You'll also see different versions with 3-pin and 4-pin connectors. Check your motherboard first to ensure you have enough headers with the right number of pins. Those Pulse Width Modulation fans specifically need a 4-pin connection if you want to control the speed.

If you're looking for something absolutely beastly, you could try this. 😁
