Asides from aesthetics, which would you guys chose and why? Currently running 6 140mm Noctua fans, but not the biggest fan of the look of them, and I'm thinking of switching to be silent fans.

I'm not the most fanny person so to speak, but I like Noctua's great customer support. And their color scheme is something you won't see on any other brand.

 

As for performance, they're similar, the NF-F12 is actually not the best fan in the market.

We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now. (dammit @LukeSavenije stop coming up with new ones)

You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here

They should perform about the same especially that the price point you're really just going to be getting a better appearance vs small unnoticeable temperature difference. If they bother you and you want to throw money at it then go ahead.

It really depends what you want them for. For radiators I like to recommend EK vardar fans, and for case fans it really doesn't matter so just choose the ones that look best in your opinion and have a high life bearing (so ball bearing or HDB).

I use Noctua Industrial PWM fans for my radiators, and Be Quiet Silent Wings 3 for my case fans.

Keep those Noctua fans, because it's the most quiet thing Better than Be Silent/Quiet! That's my thoughts

"Make it future proof for some years at least, don't buy "only slightly better" stuff that gets outdated 1 year, that's throwing money away" @pipoawas

 

-Frequencies DON'T represent everything and in many cases that is true (referring to Individual CPU Clocks).

 

Mention me if you want to summon me sooner or later

My head on 2019 :

Note 10, S10, Samsung becomes Apple, Zen 2, 3700X, Renegade X lol
