Top 5 140mm "High-Static" PWM Fans : according to you!

[ClobberXD]

I would like to know from you guys, which are the best PWM fans for radiatiors, and cases in general. I've heard that Noctua is the best. But, too expensive. I'm looking for similarly performing cheaper alternatives to the Noctua NF-F12, but they must be 140mm fans. Please do post your opinions on your suggestions for the Top 5 140mm High-Static PWM Fans.

 

Thanks!

noctua

ek vardar

Venturis

those famous noise blockers

BeQuiet also makes decent ones

there is a lot more than just "best"

you need to decide what noise level you want, what airflow you want, what looks you want, how much you want to spend per fan, etc...

there is no such thing as one fan that is "best" at all of these

I'd like it pretty quiet, but it's not a necessity. I want excellent cooling performance. I intend to pair 2 140mm 'High Static' fans with the H110i GTX AiO, and I'd like your recommendations for the same.

 

Thanks!

NF-A14 is a great option
maybe you can find used ones for cheap?

Thank you very much! It's also available in my country, although it is expensive.

 

BTW, is the NF-A14, a PWM fan by the way?

there is a PWM version i think

[SurvivorNVL]

Noctua NF-A14 PWM's or the Phanteks PH-F140MP.

Any corsair fan, they all give pretty big shocks

(Static, not Static Pressure.)

[airdeano]

didn't ask, but RPM and sound might influence decisions.

my goto 140mm fan rosewill hyperborea 140mm

max speed 1300rpm

static pressure: 2.76mm/h2o

airflow: 90 cfm

Looks are subjective. As for airflow, static pressure, and noise, they are are all relative to each other and and individual spec means nothing. A good ratio of the 3 would determine the best fan in this case.

It comes in PWM, FLX, and ULN. FLX and ULN and voltage controlled with a different range of fan speeds. 
Are you asking for the best of the best or the best 140mm's for the price?

Best of the best, or second best of the best! Gonna get only two of them for my H110i GTX.

Thank you for clarifying : I was only able to see "Noctua NF-A14 FLX" version. I shall turn towards Newegg for the PWM version!

Well, if you can afford them, NF-A14's are among the best. The NF-P14S has arguably better tonality but has lower performance.
