I remember reading everywhere that people wished these existed but I seem to be able to find them fine..

 

Did they release them recently or something?

They've been out for a while.

 

 

They've been available for a while. 

Ah ok, just confirming.

 

Then again the posts I read were from like June 2014 and before..

 

They actually any good or suck?

Get ready for a shit storm of loyal corsair users with that post,

He is right though..

 

Only thing they have going for them is decent prices.

 

But you get low performance for the sound level.

The silverstone Air penetrators from scan for like £5 are better,

I said decent, not good prices ;)

 

P.S They look terrible D:

They're actually pretty expensive for what they are. There's cheaper and better fans around. EK's Vadar fans are a good alternative, as well as NB BlackSilent Pros (my personal preference over Noctua, due to them being 1/3 of the price for not much worse performance) 

 

EDIT: The main thing they have going for them are the rings on the regular versions, seeing as they're easy to paint and modify. I can't stand LED fans, so these ones don't appeal to me at all.

I would love the Vardar fans but they don't do 140mm :'(

Ah, good point. I wouldn't be surprised to see them come out at some point though. 

There is barely any good SP 140mm </3

 

The best I could get would be Akasa vipers (ew that color scheme but I might find a way to paint the blades) or akasa apaches.

Got two free with my Corsair Graphite 760t and a non LED version in the back. Don't seem too bad to me however I've not tried any-other 140mm fans but they do the job just fine for me. Will admit at 100% they're noisy but running at 40% they performs about the same and are pretty much silent.

*cough*NB BlackSilent Pros *cough* 

 

They're not the best SP fans, but they're pretty, quiet and perform well all round.

They're not bad fans, just that they're not a good deal for the price. Their SP fans are much louder than the AF series (should be the ones in your case). They seem to be fine to a point, then they become very loud, they don't seem to have an inbetween volume/state xD
