Be Quiet! SilentWings are great.

Noctua fans... If you're not going to look at them, they're fine.

Those are also great, but I've never used them

Are the SW2's cables braided/black?

 

edit: Also would these still be great for front intake thats restricted (Phanteks Evolv ATX)

thanks

I use Phanteks PH-F140SP and love them. They even have the same color scheme as the R5 ones. Just know that you have to take the pads off of the corners on the side that contacts the steel frame if you use them on the front, as the screws that come with the R5 are not long enough to catch the threads with the pads attached. I assume this problem would apply to any 25mm thick fan with padded corners.

They have black cables and would be fine for the front intake although the NF-A14 would be a bit better.

Yeah I wanted to just go straight noctua, but I plan on getting the Evolv ATX when it comes out, and I need great looking fans to go with a red/black theme, so far the only fans to match this are corsair QE fans or silent wings 2/shadow wings.

 

Would shadow wings be a good choice for pull on a corsair h110i GT, coupled with 2x SW2 front intakes and 1 SW2 exhaust?

It's hard to go wrong with SW2's.

Shadow Wings are worse.
