Posted July 5, 2013 - very good airflow - relatively silent - no LED - white or black colored What is the best 140mm case fan that has all those criteria? I want to use it as the side intake on my Phantom 410. "Yippie-ki-yay motherf**ker!" ~John McClane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 5, 2013 you may want to use the AF-140 from Corsair. They have white,blue, and red rings around them.All 3 colours are included with the fan, you can even have no ring if you choose to.

I am currently using Corsair AF-120s, I highly recommend them. Edit: get the silent models though the performance model is a bit loud.

Posted July 5, 2013 Author I am going to connect the fan to the fan controller at the front panel of my Phantom 410. Should this be a problem with the Corsair AF140?

Posted July 5, 2013 I heard the performance editions produced ticking sounds when undervolted. I would try that but I lost the resistor cables that came with the fans.

Posted July 7, 2013 If you get AF or SP Corsair fans, I'd suggest pre-threading the rubber grommet with the screw a couple times before going to put it on the case, otherwise the rubber grommet might twist and break off, like mine did. They really need to fix that design. Screwing a fan into a case should be as easy as it sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh it is horrid to screw into, it is too soft, and the rubber screw I had wouldn't work on the corsair fans. But for cheap good fans you can get 140mm Yate Loons.

Posted July 8, 2013 I heard the performance editions produced ticking sounds when undervolted. My AF 120 Preformance's don't tick when undervolted, but I've only used them twice, since I was testing my fan controller to make sure it worked, but the PC isn't done, so they aren't in use constantly,just ran them for 20 minutes, Case: NZXT H440 | CPU: i5 4670K @ 4.5 GHz | GPU: MSI 970, Kraken G10 | Mobo: ASRock Z97 Extreme3 | Cooler: H100i | PSU: Corsair AX750 w/ Sleeved Cables | Display: 3xBenQ RL2455M | Fans: 5xNoctua NF-F12, 1xBitFenix Spectre | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 10, 2013 What a shock, i stroll into a "best fan" thread and the only recommendations are Corsair and Noctua. Come on guys, do some research.

Posted July 16, 2013 I would also recommend the Be Quiet! silent wings 2 fans since they look great, silent, good performance and they have enough static pressure to push air through say a hard drive cage which the corsair AF fans struggle to due.
