Which fans are better in this situation?

That's my build log:

I have a dilemma, cause I don't know which fans to choose for frontal intake:
Corsair Air Series AF140 Quiet Edition 140mm
or
PHANTEKS 140mm PH-F140HP_BL

 

First ones are more pressure optimized, second have more airflow.

 

The thing is I'have on front grill original mesh and original filtration mesh + material with small eyelets/mesh. Which makes 2.5 layers of filtration

AF 140

I'd go airflow because you're meant to have an intake in the front and an exhaust out the back n' top, so for that to be done properly I'd say,unless someone says i'm wrong which they are allowed to do , that Corsair's are a batter choice. Also, yay silence.

i would go for Phantek, altho the PH-F140HP_BL wont fit screw places with only 140mm, since it screw holes are the size of 120mm.

so if thats a problem go with Phantek PH-F140XP

Looked at your build log, looks great so far. I'd use the phanteks fans because they are top quality in contrast to the corsairs which are mediocre at beast, especially the AF 140s. Also the phanteks fans would fit your color scheme better.

AF 140s are black? (Tho invisible through my new mesh)

Phanteks are white (whole phanteks are white)

Then thanks. I'll go with Corsairs
