They're both really good, but I would go with the Fractal ones since they're black. I would go with the HP14s though for intake. Fans with good static pressure are better for intake. Use the HF14s for exhaust.

I have basically the entire Fractal Venturi lineup. If you have any sort of restriction, go with the HPs. I use the HPs for all my radiators and one of the filtered intakes on the bottom of my Define S. The HF-12 is used at one exhaust that's free of restriction.

Yea. All the pwm ones are plugged into a pwm hub, which is then controlled through my motherboard/AI Suite.
