IIRC, Back when it was used in their Silverstone Raven RV02/RV01 it was good.

But that was a long long time ago, and the first iteration of the Air Penetrator.

 

Looking at the spec in your link, there's several other brands with better fans, or atleast around same performance.
And with PWM instead of 3 pins like that AP 140i.

But yeah looking at your PC Case online, it's quite air choked.

So... I doubt even a delta fans will make much difference.

Dunno how good/bad asus stock fan is.

If your thermal is within acceptable range, I don't see why you should change.

 

If you are set on changing it, there's Noctua, BeQuiet, Arctic, Corsair.

Hard to know how good they are compared to stock fans without some tech specs of the stock fans.

 

But yeah, IMHO, improvement by changing fans will be minimal or none at all due to the quite closed off front side.

thermal IS NOT BAD but really dont find/see any info from fron stock fan on the internet this is why i want to atleast improvement

at best maybe 1-2c drop... so no idea if that even worth it but could add much more niose depending on how much cooler you want. buying or modding a case with better air flow would be better imo.

 

the so called air penatrator is not what its name is but all it dose it try and reduce how big the fan of air is... thow it probly a louder fan.

 

no only that the air pentrtator won the performance because it could go pass 800 rpm witch most 200mm could not do.. at the time thow it was loud.
