hi,

 

want to mount 9x140mm fans which should blow the air out of the case  - the fans will be mounted on the bottom (Case is a cube) and blow the hot air out of the top-panel. There are 4 GPUs installed...

question:

should i get the NF-A14 PWM or the newer NF-A14 iPPC-2000 PWM? I know that the Industrial-version would be a bit louder but push more air out of the case... but if the run at 500-600 RPM in idle, they should be fine? Or would the "older" NF-A14 PWM be the better option (because more quiet and more than enough air-flow...)?

The industrial PPC fans are too loud, and running them at a low rpm completely defeats the purpose of them having more airflow

The NF-A14 would be my choice but they look horrible, and you cant take them apart to paint them

 

I think you should go for the NF-P14 redux fans which are light gray, which looks a lot better than brown, and they are very quiet while still having good static pressure and airflow :)
