Don't get AF-140s, they're meant to be case fans. Maybe look at SP-140s if you must have a corsair fan, or the Noctua NF-P14s Redux PWM if you don't care what brand.

Hello,

 

I've decided and been recommended to purchase the NZXT Kraken X61 AIO liquid cooler, see here. However, upon researching the product it appears the fans are too loud YT VIDEO (@3.30). I've decided that I'll choose 2x Corsair Air Series AF140, see here to replace the fans on the radiator.

 

Do you believe this will be a better alternative and has anyone here personally used the AF140 and has some suggestions. Thanks for taking the time to read and comment.

If you want Corsair fans than the SP140's will do a better job.

I've used the Noctua NF-P14s Redux PWM fans mentioned above, amazing fans with a simple grey color

 

quiet, do their job very well, excellent quality item, and shouldn't clash with your build most likely.

AF: Air Flow - means to be used for case.

SP: Static Pressure - means to be used for radiator.
