Case fans

[Unslain_Gamer]

Currently looking for some decent higher airflow case fans.

 

Front intake = 3 x 140mm

rear exhaust = 1x 140mm

 

Looking at these two.

 

Corsair AF140 LED

 

66.4 CFM

25.5 dBA

1200 RPM

Corsair AF140

 

67.8 CFM

24 dBA

1150 RPM

 

The LED's would add some colour to my case with it having a large side window, but performance wise is there much difference between.

 

Any thoughts?

Don't buy Corsair fans, they are trash unless you want a jet engine for a PC.

Did look at noctua, nf a14 pwm fans, but i'm not sure how they are interms of unrestricted front intake

And buy an LED strip for the lighting.

You have never used delta fans. 12000rpm and can get louder than 85db.

looking at those, nf a14 flx decent? or would i be better off going for the higher nf a14 pwm

I have 3x NF-A14 PWM's in my case, 4x technically because the CPU fan is one just with a different frame.

 

Decided to get them because of how bad the Arc Midi R2 fans were, and why not because they'd match my CPU cooler from Noctua.

Ditched that shit case and have a Enthoo Pro M now

 

They're good fans

how do the fans perform? really well?. And are they loud or fairly quiet

Noctua makes some of the best fans you can buy for performance and noise, and they shit all over Corsair

[Unslain_Gamer]

So for unrestricted front intake would it be fair to say, probably the best ones to get.

Probably, one of the best at least.

Eveyone who has used or knows about Delta fans also know that they're loud, which is fine since they are made to move a ton of air + they don't claim to be silent nor does anyone expect them to be.

out of interest has anyone looked at aerocool DS edition 14cm fans?
