Looking at doing some changes at my build, and they include some Noctua fans. If I wanted a 140mm fan designed for Static pressure for my H90, which would I buy? Also which 140mm Noctua's are best for case airflow? 

 

Thanks for the help.

NF-A14 PWM for your radiator. I use A14s for my case's intake and exhaust as well, pretty much the best 140mm noctua unless you have space for the NF-A15

proud owner of alienware 13 with graphic amplifier and also a alienware X51 gaming PC!!! really powerfulL!!

I'm assuming I should go for the NF-A14 PWM? I have also seen the FLX recommended but I'm not sure what the difference is other than its a 3 pin.

I'd go all PWM, I don't really see any reasons not to. Your motherboard will have much more control over the fans and you can ramp/up down as required. They should also be backwards compatible to 3-pin anyways.

Thanks man, planning on upgrading to the 760T soon and will see how case temps and noise are with my current fans. Once I test it I will determine if I will step up to the Noctuas as I don't care for their looks but everyone says they are some of the best performance wise.

Changing case fans only affects noise, it won't make any noticeable difference in temps.
