Advice / Recommend me on fans for 280 mm rad.

Hey LTT'ers!

In my upcomming build i'am aiming for a 280mm radiator with 2 x 140mm fans configured as pull, its going to be top mounted.
Im looking for fans that would fit a white/black build, case exterior is white, rad is black so id like to have some black/white fans, maybe with some white LED's

Got any suggestions?

The rad im buying is the NZXT Kraken X60 - it comes with 2 NZXT fans on it.

Would it be a bad idea to go with something like these:
Bit Fenix Spectre 140mm (black fan, white leds)

Im at bit concern about these fans not being 'pressure optimized'

Id like something with LEDS for the top as i like to see its 'alive' :P
but if i get some rekommandations for some very good black and white fans that simply outpreforms the nzxt's i might go with them insted.

i started out wanting the Noiseblocker E-loop for the whole case - but they're not available in 140 mm. :(

Im looking for a total of 3x120mm(intakes) and 2x140mm(rad) id like all fans to me matching, but its hard to find anything really.

Corsair sp not an option either, no 140mm SP ;(

Gelid Silent Wings 12 and 14 are static pressure optimized fans and are pretty quiet.

I'd say try Cougar fans, but that's just because I like how quiet they are as for water cooling I get decent temps using them for fans - so I can't complain :)

 

try Cougar CF-V14HB Vortex Hydro :)

Check out the build: Used to be Obot, now Lilith

Shameless: Me

none of these are LED

Swiftech 120 or 140 are matching ensemble fans. GT-AP-15 clones

BGears 120 or 140 are also great

Looking great, i can see they mention the 9 blade design, pressure optimized.

See anything bad about going with these fans?

as i mention in my first post.

I can see caseking sells the NZXT x60 with the Bitfenix pro ones, but not the other one, might just be their choice, but are one better then the others?

-got an opinion about that?

yeah, those are great case fans, poop for radiator fans. if you are over-radiatored

then you can get by, but i personally could not stand the cooling performance of

the PRO (better fan) on a radiator. the plain spectre is a case fan, that's all..

I can only recommend The "Black Silent Pro" - line from Noiseblocker. All models availanble on caseking.de, if you prefer to buy there.
