Noctua or NoiseBlocker?

The NF-A14 is a premium quality quiet 140mm fan with a square frame that complies with Noctua’s AAO (Advanced Acoustic Optimisation) standard. Itssquare shape and 140mm mounting holes (124.5mm spacing) make it ideal for use on watercooling radiators or as an upgrade for 140mm case fans. Featuring sophisticated aerodynamic design measures such as Flow Acceleration Channels, the NF-A14 further improves the renowned quiet cooling performance of the award-winning NF-P14. The FLX version provides 1200/1050/900rpm speed settings via the supplied Low-Noise Adaptors in order to provide full flexibility in fine-tuning the fan for maximum ventilation performance or near-silent operation. Its superb running smoothness, reference-class SSO2 bearing and Noctua’s trusted premium quality make it an elite choice for the highest demands.

Noctua’s NF-P14 fan has become a default-choice among PC enthusiasts looking for a premium quality quiet 140mm fan. Thanks to its thoroughgoing aerodynamic optimizations, the NF-A14 provides higher static pressure and an even better airflow/noise ratio than its much acclaimed predecessor.

 

 

Noctua seems to think that it is a good fan for water cooling....

again, airflow optimized 

 

 

The nf-a14 can be used on radiators just as well, you honestly don't really need SP fans for such a thin radiator, it'll make a small difference at best.

 

Have you looked at swiftech helix's in 140mm? The h110 is 280mm correct?

 

They are good, affordable, quiet fans with good airflow + static pressure.

If you look at the SP vs the AF fans from Corsair you will see that the A14 from Noctua is much closer in design to the SP series fans:

I ran the Noctua 140mm fans. Check the specs on them as they offer something like 3 mm of static pressure. The new 2000rpm Noctua PPC fans I am currently running have a ridiculous 4 mm of static pressure at 12v

With today's technology I often wonder why we don't have colonies on the moon or Mars. Then I go to Wal Mart for 5 minutes and realize the vast majority of the human populace isn't ready for such things.

Is there no retailers in UK that carry them?  if not, af140 will do the trick just fine, you don't need behemoth static pressure ratings to push air through an AIO.
