140mm for filtered intake

[MeltingPoint]

Ok this one is a little different. I'm looking for a 140mm fan whose performance does not degrade significantly when used with a very fine mesh dust filter (demciflex).

 

Initally, I decided to go with the AP123 from silverstone because:

1. Its an air penetrator

2. it is designed to remain quiet when placed against a grille or dust filter unlike other fans

 

BUT its 120mm. I need a 140mm fan that can remain quite with an obstruction on its intake but still provide adequate airflow and and also decent air pressure.

bitfenix spectre pro if you still want the air channeling

I just want to stress that the fan must perform good with a very fine mesh filter on its intake.

The aerocool ds 140mm fan is great.

But yeah, love my ap123.

Be Quiet Silent Wings 2 or the Shadow Wings, I have 2 140mm  Silent Wings 2 in the front of my 750d and a 120mm intake with a Demciflex fan filter where the second hard drive was originally installed, really low temps and really quiet

Thanks for all the suggestions. Can you discuss their performance with the dust filters covering the intake side?

A noctua A14, its its brilliant and quiet. The dust filter barely affects the performance of fans.
