The AF140 with the 7v adapter would be quieter and have better airflow so I would go with that.

Hi guys,

 

I've decided on Aerocool Dead Silence 120/140mm fans (http://www.scan.co.uk/products/120mm-aerocool-dead-silence-red-led-fan-dual-material-colour-fdb-fan-121dba) as they are super quiet and for their looks for my H440 build (http://pcpartpicker.com/p/gBnTpg). 

 

My question is, do i kit it out with 

 

( A ) 5 x 140mm fans for ultra silence 

(1 x rear exhaust, 2 x top exhaust, 2 x front intake)

OR

( B ) 1 x 140mm fan and 6 x 120mm fans 

(1 x 140mm rear exhaust, 3 x top 120mm top exhaust, 3 x 120m front intake)

 

I've got silence in mind, but I also don't want to run too toasty in a case that is already pretty suffocated in terms of airflow.

 

Can I recommend noiseblocker blacksilent pros from overclockers.co.uk as they are miles better and the DS fans and cheaper. also you don't need to fill every fan spot, have 2 140mm intakes and 1 140mm top exhaust. it will be quieter this way and won't affect temps.

The AeroCool fans are quieter than the Corsair>

 

Corsair AF140 = Sound Level: 24 dBA

Aerocool DS Edition Fan = Noise : 12v - 14.2 dBA, 7v - 10.8 dBA

 

I am also getting the AeroCool fans and a H440, I can't wait
