Posted December 8, 2015 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted December 8, 2015 Don't buy Corsair fans, they are trash unless you want a jet engine for a PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 8, 2015 Author http://noctua.at/en/products/fan.htmllooking at those, nf a14 flx decent? or would i be better off going for the higher nf a14 pwm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted December 8, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 8, 2015 Author So for unrestricted front intake would it be fair to say, probably the best ones to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
