Best 140mm sp optimized fan?

[awsum08]

Hey guys. I'm planning a new build that I'll start in about 2 months times. I'll be using the NZXT Phantom 410, along with a Corsair H110. The problem is, the stock fans don't look very convincing. So, I need suggestions for 140mm fans that can go on the H110. Noctua is the obvious solution, but I'm keeping that as a last resort, because I want to stick to my red/black colour scheme. Any thoughts?

Noctuas are pretty much it. There are Bitfenix Spectre's and Spectre Pro's however they're not as good. It's a shame there aren't any Corsair SP140's..

Phobya makes red/black Noiseblocker Eloops...sounds like the right thing for you :D

 

Ahh....shiiieet...they are 120mm .... maybe go for a h100i ^^

 

edit: don't know if you can buy them but EKL Alpenföhn 140 Wing Boost red are nice, but have only 900rpm

Just buy noctuas and put them so that you cant see them.

And then buy some red/black fans and put them just for look.

LOL That's what I'm doing on mine right now.

BGears B-Blaster 140 LINKY LINKY

monster static and under-volts very well for lower sound levels.

air penetrator 141's from silverstone are good, undervolt nicely and very quiet.

Nice :DD

Performance-wise, the b-gears are a good choice. aesthetically, i'm more sold on the cougars. if only corsair had an SP140 T.T

 

Also, if I do get the noctua fans, my option for sticking them where i cant see them would be to use them in pull config. I was originally planning on going with push. How much of a temp difference would it make?

[airdeano]

I had the kitties before and had to dump them in 6-8months. crap bearings, vibrations,

and inconsistent speeds and temperatures.

 

one word...

 

paint

 

 

BGears 140 fronts, Noctua NF-P12/NF-P14. simple gloss white rattle can.

Painting fan blades is a bad idea. Slight difference in the thickness of the paint during painting will throw the blades' out balance. The additional weight of the paint will also make the fan rotor work harder and will damage it in the long term.

Best mainstream 140mm pressure optimized fan - NF-A14s

[BeyondNight]

for 140mm pressure Optimized, your best bet would be looking into the Bitfenix Spectre pro's, Phobya makes the nano-G in a red/orange colour, and if you want you could probably dye Noctua NF-A14 FLX fans to the colour you want.

 

Edit: forgot to add that Cougar vortex 140mm Fans

Bitfenix Spectre and Spectre pro are the ones i'm leaning towards right now. The specs say that 2.14 for the spectre and 2.8 for the pro for static pressure, and neither go above 30dB. How reliable are they?

I have spectre Pros and they can get pretty loud at 12v and the SP is 1.38Mm H2O not 2.8, But they are pretty reliable fans a do move a lot of air.

[awsum08]

So it seems that the H110 has compatibility issues with the Phantom 410, and so does the Kraken x60, so I think I'll just drop the whole 280mm rads, and get an H100i. Thanks anyway for the help  ^_^

Or go cheap and get some 140cm Yate Loons.

Specifically the NF-A14 PWM fans.

In case you aren't satisfied yet with the NF-A14's color yet, take a look at my avatar. That's a Rampage IV Formula, its PCI-E slots are bright red.

where do you get 1.38 ?

[tabuburn]

where do you get 1.38 ?

From the specs on the fan's packaging or the manufacturer's website:

Dimensions (mm): 140x140x25mm Current (A): 0.25A ±10% Speed (RPM): 1200 RPM ±10% Air Flow (CFM): 86.73 CFM ±10% Air Pressure (mmH2O): 1.38 mmH2O Noise (dB-A): 22.8 dB(A)
