Upgrading NZXT X61 fans. Suggestions?

[Curiously Flamboyant Sheep]

Pretty much the title. I just got a Kraken x61 and am looking to replace the 140mm fans that came with them. They're nice, but I'd like something just as quiet and maybe a bit more powerful?

 

Also looking to switch out the fans in my case as well, so I'll be getting fans for the case and the radiator at the same time.

 

What 140mm quiet PWM fans do you guys suggest?

Noiseblocker Black Silent Pro PK-2's or Noctua NF-A14's.

What do you think about the BitFenix Spectre Pros for radiators?

there are better options. the pros are meh. the hyperborea or cougar are quiet

and optimized (better static) than the pros. if needing LED, then the cougar.

pros are too loud for their weakish output.

Their not that good.. if the price of the other ones I recommend are too high. Give the Hyperborea's airdeano recommended a look. seem to have good static pressure and CFM but I've never had em myself. PK-2's are pretty cheap if you live in the EU or UK.

Ah okay! The Hyperboreas are great for the price it seems. Would they work well for push/pull on a radiator?

Ah, yeah I live in the US so the PK-2s are a bit too expensive for me.

on my trials with H100i worked very well @ 12v near silent. PWM throttled

(800rpm) temps were 3° warmer than H100i at 12v. well worth the money.

i wouldn't worry about push/pull. just use push or pull.
